The promotion of LED plant lighting to agricultural production activities

Traditional agriculture mainly relies on sunlight, which makes the growth of plants easily affected by the natural environment, but plants produced by plant lighting are not limited to the natural environment, and can receive optimized light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration and culture medium components, etc. Achieve high-quality crop output.

The use of LED plant lighting weakens the restriction of natural light environment on agricultural production activities. Efficient plant light control methods can promote plant growth and development, achieve the purpose of increasing production, high efficiency, high quality, disease resistance, and pollution-free, and enhance agricultural output capacity.

At present, the application fields of plant lighting lamps mainly include greenhouse lighting, all artificial light plant factories, plant tissue culture, field lighting, household vegetable and flower planting, etc.

According to Yang Qichang, chief scientist of the Intelligent Plant Factory of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the growth of lettuce generally takes 70 days, and the plant factory only needs 21-25 days, and the planting time is one-third of the natural time. The production capacity is more than 40-100 times that of the open field.
