Rolle growth accelerated, growers was mystery...

A Italy Rolle (a vanilla, used for seasoning) growers choose to replace high pressure sodium lamp with LED, that can promote plant growth, while reducing the energy consumption of the farm.

The growers in the south of Italy port of Reggio, mainly for the salad, pasta and other food production of basil, had been used in the greenhouse in the high pressure sodium lamp.

In order to avoid the typical Basil disease, growers use artificial light for several hours every day in the greenhouse, which increases the cost of.

In the greenhouse in different proportions using ultra red, red and blue LED lights, this model can speed up the growth time of basil, the harvest time is shortened to 5 days, and to increase the crop yield.

The growers manager Marco Boselli said, "we are worried about the proliferation of bacteria, fungi have been HPS Peronospara because the heat produced by lighting eradication, but with the LED, we have not encountered any problems".

"We can also observe our Basil better and faster growth, because the blue light is relatively low, in the LED scheme the proportion is 5%, while in the previous HPS scheme the proportion is 24%."

OSRAM global project manager Sebastian Lyschic said: "durable, energy-saving and durable LED technology is becoming more and more popular, horticultural lighting will replace the standard some day in the future."
