Nowadays, in the greenhouse horticulture, growers have begun to use different forms of the LED lighting system, the traditional roof lighting, there are three-dimensional planting plant lighting and interior lighting, which is because the light is closer to the plant, more conducive to promoting plant growth and reduce energy consumption.
Many traditional lighting technologies cannot be in stereo planting and plants used in interior lighting, for example, traditional lighting light source is in use process, will generate too much heat, burn the plant tissue. It is predicted that by 2013, only the LED component a in the application of horticultural lighting market will reach $20 million, more than used for interior lighting three-dimensional planting and plants.
Studies have shown that: specific wavelengths of light and the light can improve the biomass of production or some vegetables and fruits of plants. By using more predetermined light, it can reduce the number of joule per kilogram of products, in addition, using the right combination of light, can at the same time of improving product quality, extend the production cycle, improve more than 20% of the production.
For the improvement of photosynthetic rate and plant growth continues to other wavelengths of light needed for the research, the research focused on the saturation in plants such as infrared that play the positive effects of different growth stage. As LED technology in the future to further improve and people know the required specific wavelengths of light, plant growth process will make the world horticulture into revolutionary new stage of development.
