With LED auxiliary light source strawberry production season to double

Blessed are the people who like to eat strawberries! Taiwan ITRI using light emitting diode (LED) light source, mix and match greenhouse energy-saving cooling technology and specially designed A type stereo cultivation column, make strawberry season doubled.

Limited by climatic conditions, the main period of strawberry production in Taiwan is from December to April. ITRI team in the light of the sun type greenhouse, during the growth of strawberry, the use of energy-saving cooling control technology to simulate the temperature and humidity is most suitable for the growth of strawberry; plus the patented design of the three-dimensional cultivation of A shaped tower, make strawberry drainage and sunshine condition is not subject to external natural climate conditions.

In the lack of sunshine, with LED auxiliary light source, the success of the date of the strawberry extended to 8 to September; the whole strawberry production season has doubled. Due to the greenhouse grown strawberries, only need to add trace pesticides in seedling pest control, the growth of strawberry during using biological predators and non pesticide materials do pest control, and promote the development of fruit collocation bee pollination, full, can ensure that harvest strawberry is non pesticide residue problem.

At the same time the team ITRI optimal plant LED source system technology, can not only assist the grape planting; grape growth, also let the grape anthocyanin composition increase, also can be compared to the traditional spiral lamp energy saving more than 80%.

In the Greenhouse System Technology Center branch research institute deputy director Huang Tianfu said that the application of LED light source in plant growth, is a major breakthrough in recent years, there has been the use of related technologies, respectively in Yunlin and Changhua, strawberry and grape planting farmland assist.

Huang Tianfu said, Taiwan LED industry has a complete supply chain and customized design ability, advanced agricultural technology especially leads the world, if combined with the advantages of both, will create a competitive global high value-added high-quality agricultural products and the application of LED light source.
