LED lights promote the growth of characteristic plants in Xiamen

LED lights can not only be used for lighting, but also can be used to promote plant growth.

Yesterday afternoon (8th), “The 11th Siming University Institute of Enterprises, Investment Institutions and Technology Investment Promotion Conference and the 10th China-Cross-Border Project Outcome, Siming District Work Launching Ceremony” was held at Xiamen University. The establishment of the building held a total of 19 scientific and technological cooperation projects such as the "LED Plant Growth Lamps to Promote Plant Growth Mechanism", "Supporting Student Entrepreneurship Cooperation Agreement" and "New Energy Technology Project", etc., with a total contracted value of 2.04 billion. yuan.

According to Huang Shengrong, head of the LED plant growth lamp promotion plant growth mechanism research project, the project was developed for the growth of characteristic plants in Xiamen such as Bougainvillea, vegetables, and seaweed.

“At present, the use of seaweed to extract diesel power is a hot topic of research, but no suitable light source has been available to promote the growth of seaweed.” Huang Shengrong said that through normal sunlight, seaweed can only be irradiated during the day, if the LED plant Grow lamps illuminate seaweeds and can be controlled regardless of time, intensity or wavelength. “Algae that are illuminated by monochromatic light from LED grow lights can grow at a speed that is more than twice as fast as before.”
