LED Lights Illuminate High-Value Agricultural Prospects

The use of science and technology to assist high-economic crops is a new trend in agricultural development, especially the application of LED light sources in plant growth is a major breakthrough in recent years. Using an LED lamp instead of an LED incandescent lamp as night lighting of crops can not only solve the production problem caused by insufficient light, but also realize the benefit of energy-saving and electricity saving, and increase the income of farmers.

The full spectrum COB LED light source can select a specific wavelength to adjust the amount and quality of light to meet the light waves required by the factory. As a regulator of the crop production cycle, yield, and quality, Taiwan’s LED optoelectronic industry has a complete supply chain and customized design capabilities, as well as advanced agricultural planting technology. Especially, it is unique in the world. If the advantages of the two are combined, it will create high value-added LED light source applications and high-quality agricultural products with world competitiveness.

The lights are controlled by bulbs. Place the bulb directly above the plant, so that the crop can get even light and improve the efficiency of photosynthesis.

This kind of irradiation can greatly reduce electricity consumption by more than half and reduce farmers' planting costs. LED lights have the advantages of uniform brightness and no light damage, and can achieve the purpose of increasing production, high efficiency, disease resistance, and no light damage.

Even in winter when there is insufficient sunlight, LED light sources can help fill light, maintain good quality and stable output.

The practice has proved that through LED lighting, the total quality and efficiency can be increased by 32%. In the future, the software and hardware technology and production management model of this demonstration site can be replicated and extended to other crop production, industrialization, simple greenhouses, and other fields.

Experiments show that the use of LED lights can shorten the number of days required for strawberry planting to flowering. It was shortened by at least 10 to 15 days. The growth morphology, yield, quality of strawberries, their inhibitory effects on the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, and the added value of LED lighting technology also make strawberry cultivation one of the high-value agriculture.

After constantly revising the design and layout of the LED lights, a module that can replace incandescent lamps was finally successfully developed, saving farmers considerable electricity bills.
