We often receive phone calls from customers asking about the principle of greenhouse plant growth lamp, light supplement time, the difference between led plant growth light and high-pressure mercury light. Now we will collect some answers to the main concerns of customers for your reference. If you are interested in plant lighting, please contact me for further communication.
The necessity of replenishing the light in the greenhouse
With the deepening of the study of spectra, it has been found that light of different bands has different effects on the growth stages of plants.The significance of the illumination inside the greenhouse is to extend the intensity of light enough throughout the day.It is mainly used to grow vegetables, roses and even chrysanthemum seedlings in late autumn and winter.
Greenhouse lighting has a great influence on growth stage and seedling quality.
In the case of tomatoes, light is normally replenished after two cotyledons have grown on a plant seedling. Twelve days of light replenishment can reduce the seedling preparation period by six to eight days.But more than 24 hours of light can disrupt plant growth.The optimal amount of light is eight hours a day.
Artificial lighting is necessary on cloudy and low-intensity days.
Give the plants at least eight hours of light a day at night, at a fixed time.But lack of rest at night can also lead to plant growth disorders and reduced production.
For tomatoes, the most effective light hours are from dusk to midnight, 16:00-24:00 or from midnight to 24:00-8:00 in the morning.
In practice, we should provide light to plants throughout their growing period, from seedling to transplanting.In the final stage, we should reduce the light to 6 hours a day or even stop 2-3 days. If the light condition is poor, it takes a long time to reach the transplanting stage, usually lasting for one month.
Under the fixed environmental conditions of carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, temperature, humidity and humidity, the "photosynthetic light flux density PPFD" between the light saturation point and the light compensation point of a specific plant directly determines the relative growth rate of the plant.
Therefore, efficient light source PPFD combination is the key to plant plant production efficiency.
