In 2021, the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", LED plant lighting continues to ride the wind and waves, and the market growth presses the "accelerator".
News shows that the vegetables from multiple vegetable planting bases in Lianyungang are being harvested recently. Among them, in the artificial light plant factory of the hydroponic lettuce production base in the Smart Agriculture Demonstration Park of Donghai County, the brightly lit, green lettuce is bathed in the "sunlight" of the LED plant growth lamp on the layers of cultivation racks, and they are "floating" On the board, he stretched out his fresh green leaves to his heart's content.
In order to ensure a stable supply of vegetables, various places in Lianyungang are planning to put the vegetables in facilities on the market in batches.
Immediately afterwards, a warm "plant factory" in Kunmujia post at an altitude of 4900 meters in a border defense regiment of the Tibet Military Region also became popular. Lettuce, rapeseed, bean sprouts and other green vegetables grew gratifyingly in that cold place.
The "plant factory" adopts a clean energy recycling system, with solar panels providing electricity and LED lighting, so that the perennially cold plateau outpost is full of vitality.
Plant lighting-the magic key to unlock the future of agriculture
Compared with traditional agricultural planting, plants planted under plant lighting are not affected by the natural environment, and can receive more suitable light, nutrition and humidity, and can be produced normally and continuously even under severe conditions or disasters. It is suitable for droughts. , Promotion in island areas.
At the same time, plant lighting can combine botany with the Internet of Things, and use a computer system to accurately control the plant cultivation process, thereby cultivating crops that are difficult to grow under natural conditions.
As the energy consumption of plant lighting continues to expand, it also poses new challenges to traditional agricultural lighting technology. As a new type of light source, LED, in addition to the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection, has the characteristics of adjustable light quantity, adjustable light quality, and permitting increased cultivation per unit area compared with artificial light sources such as fluorescent lamps in traditional agriculture. widely.
At present, LED lighting has been applied in the fields of plant tissue culture, leafy vegetable cultivation, plant factories, seedling factories, edible fungi factories, algae cultivation, plant protection, flower cultivation and other fields.
According to incomplete statistics, China has become the country with the fastest growing plant factories in the world, with more than 220 plant factories of various sizes. In addition, in the United States, Japan and other developed countries and regions, LED plant lighting has been widely popularized.
Plant factory is a landmark product of modern agriculture entering a higher stage of development. And as the LED plant lighting equipment that plays a key role in the plant factory, it will be the magic key to unlock the future of agricultural science and technology, and lead the human agricultural civilization and LED lighting business into a new chapter.
Market popularity continues to rise, plant lighting presses the "accelerator"
At the beginning of 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has spread around the world, and various industries have been impacted to varying degrees. However, plant lighting has developed rapidly against the trend and has become one of the most dazzling market segments for LED lighting.
According to data from the LED Research Institute (GGII), the output value of China's LED plant lighting system will reach about 9.5 billion yuan in 2020, and the output value of LED plant lighting will reach about 2.8 billion yuan.
The reason why plant lighting can become one of the fastest growing LED lighting applications in 2020 is mainly because the gradual legalization of cannabis cultivation in North America, coupled with the new crown pneumonia epidemic, has caused the medical and recreational cannabis market to soar.
In addition, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has a relatively large impact on the food supply chain, which has made the investment and construction of indoor planting and agriculture heating up again. Due to the increase in equipment replacement and new demand, since the second quarter of 2020, LED plant lighting enterprises have placed orders Rapid growth.
In 2021, the national "14th Five-Year Plan" and the eight key economic tasks of the central government in 2021 will raise the core issue of "seeds and land". For this reason, people in the industry generally estimate that in the fields of agricultural planting and household planting, LED plant lighting The market will continue to explode.
In fact, in addition to driving the rapid development of agricultural planting, LED plant lighting can also create lighting art. It is understood that 20,000 LED plant growth lights in the farmland of Dazhai Village in Fujian are lit at the same time, creating a beautiful night view that attracts many tourists from afar to watch.
To some extent, LED plant lighting has begun to break through the single photobiological function, and continue to give more functions and values to cultural tourism lighting, landscape lighting, etc., to meet the diverse needs of the public.
