Application on January 19, guangdong modern agriculture demonstration base was founded, the base of the innovation center in foshan high-tech industry base of new light source. Lighting on the same day of the second agriculture development on the BBS, a number of participating experts agree that with further illumination application cost is reduced, can expect to artificial light to provide illumination of plant factories will soon usher in development of golden period. This also means that LED to the development of agriculture will find new way for the traditional LED industry.

Plant 126 square meters of factory can cultivate 20000 vegetable at a time

On that day, to participate in the BBS of the guest with scholars also tasted by the base organic pollution-free vegetables cultivated plant factory.

It is understood that in Japan first proposed the concept of plant factory, is made of high-tech modern agricultural production system. In the production system, through the LED lighting technology, intelligent control technology and soilless cultivation technology combined with each other, realize the integration of environmental factors and control of water and intellectualization, the plant production is not affected by environmental factors such as geography, climate, and can avoid from the production source of heavy metals pollution of land, water, and excessive use of pesticides, compared with the traditional open environment of agricultural production for food safety control is more reliable.

And is located in guangdong province industrial base within the application demonstration base of new light source, transforming from an area of 150 square meters of office, is a factory has a complete intelligent system of the micro plants. Stereoscopic cultivation base with 4 layer, the actual planting area of 126 square meters, at present give priority to with common leaf vegetables cultivation, planting process using LED plant growth light illumination, the cucumber in control. In addition, realized the high precision control, environment of crop growth process by computer environment elements such as temperature, humidity, light, nutrient solution for automatic control, a maximum of 20000 tree leaf vegetables.

LED lighting companies try to agriculture to seek a new breakthrough

"With the development of LED technology, with the growth of LED light source plant factory pattern. According to incomplete statistics, at present our country plant factory has built more than 80. According to the Japan co., experts predict, China plant factory in the future is expected to reach Japanese plants more than 10 times the size of the factory." Semiconductor lighting industry of guangdong province said SuiShiRong, director of the joint innovation center, the rise of plant factories will drive the change of agriculture and the LED industry, may help the traditional LED industry to find new ways.

Located in the industrial base of new light source in the china-germany photoelectric lighting co., LTD., started in 2013 to develop agriculture lighting products. With the development of plant factories, plant in 2015, the company for domestic factory supply nearly 5 million light source products. In the company general manager Zhou Zhaopeng point of view, the traditional LED industry competition is intense, photoelectric enterprises have been looking for a breakthrough, and agriculture lighting is a new attempt, a good but he admitted that the cost of r&d is very large.

I also learned that the current output within the application demonstration base of vegetables, the cost price will be more than 1 piece of a tree. Compared to sell organic vegetables on the market, a lot of expensive. On SuiShiRong, plant factory is in the stage of scientific research, application costs still need some time to steady decline, and planting varieties by ordinary vegetables, will be applied on the economic value of higher plants. He said, as the LED technology based plant artificial source (PARS) further reduce the cost of application of predictable plant factory gold could usher in a new development period.

In addition, in addition to the base of new light source in the china-germany photoelectric lighting co., LTD., the ternary lighting has in advance agriculture lighting layout, technology development and market development.
