Showa electrician developed the use of LED to promote plant plant cultivation method

Japan Showa denko company and Yamaguchi University jointly established in the use of LED (light emitting diode) new methods of plant plant cultivation, and began selling equipment. By using the LED element of Showa electrician to irradiate the light that is most suitable for plant growth, it can shorten the delivery period and increase the output. This approach is also very effective as a raw material for the algae algae, and strive to develop a global business.

Ishida and professor of the Yamaguchi University by performing the research of common justice, to have the most suitable for plant growth and the proportion of LED wavelength light, red light and blue light are well improved and developed a new irradiation method. Compared with the fluorescent lamp and fixed red and blue LED lighting, leafy vegetables can be increased up to 3 times. Compared with the fluorescent lamp, the power consumption is only one-third, but also has the advantage of not being affected by heat to obtain high light.

Plants grow under the action of light, to achieve the flower bud differentiation, and photosynthesis. Required for photosynthesis of chlorophyll in the wavelength of 660 nm to 700 nm (nm) red light is very active in photomorphogenesis process, and also at a wavelength of 450 nm to 470 nm blue light and 660 ~ 730 nm light red pigment protein active correlation. The wavelength range of these light is relatively narrow, but by using the narrow range of LED illumination wavelength, the most suitable wavelength can be irradiated.

Shorten the supply cycle and increase production also has the advantages of recovering the initial investment higher than the fluorescent lamp as soon as possible. In addition to the sale of LED lighting based cultivation equipment and peripheral commodities, Showa electrician will also provide exposure to commercial facilities and lighting manufacturers license. First of all, will promote the popularity of the domestic facilities in Japan, the future also intends to use algae fuel industry and biomass joint business promotion.
