LED plant species Hami melon yield up to 8 times the greenhouse

Taiwan Area University of Changhua big leaf R & D plant plant, try to plant melons, tomatoes and other crops, of which the melon and Sweet Melon Cultivation high, the output can reach 8 times the greenhouse planting.

Department of molecular biology, Faculty of science and technology, University of Changhua, plant research and development plant, with LED light source technology with temperature control, try to grow all kinds of vegetables and fruits, the school today announced the results of the cultivation of Hami melon.

Daye university president Wu Dongxing said, at present they developed technology, which grow out of the melon output is 8 times of the greenhouse, the future hope to be able to make technology transfer to farmers, agricultural innovation, the school also according to the characteristics of each crop growth in research and development, at the same time with LED as light source, saving cost.

Department of Molecular Biotechnology Department associate professor Yu Congan said, melon is traditionally cultivated in the greenhouse or open the way, although highly skilled, but will be affected by the weather there is no way to the annual production, plus the melon pest, easy quality uneven in quality is also a problem of pesticide residues, so they try to plant factory plant.

Yu Congan said that they use LED light source technology collocation environment temperature control, cantaloupe grown not only completely without pesticides, the average weight of each can reach more than 2 kilograms, more than 16 degrees Brix, 1 strains can retain 3 fruits, plant life can reach 1 years, continuous harvest period 5.

Yu Congan said, to the cultivation of number 1 Ping for example, greenhouse planting melon only 3 strains, 1 fruit per plant, harvest 3; and they plant factory to battery plant, each Ping can plant 5, 3 fruit per plant, can be harvested 5, 1 years down, Hami melon the number of production is 8 times more greenhouse.
