LED "light formula" for growing specific green crops

Recently, Philips, the global leader in the lighting industry, has partnered with Green Sense Farms (GSF), an agricultural company based in Chicago, to build an indoor farm that uses LED growth light for specific crops and is one of the largest indoor farms in the world.

The reporter learned that indoor farms can achieve sustainable localized planting, which is not possible with traditional field planting. With Philips LED "Light Recipes", GSF will harvest 20 to 25 times a year and save 85% of energy. This will significantly increase crop yields, reduce operating costs, and provide consumers with locally grown fresh vegetables throughout the year to ensure consumers' nutritional health and well-being.

“By partnering with a visionary agribusiness like GSF, Philips is creating a 'light formula' database for different plant varieties,” said Udo van Slooten, director of horticultural lighting at Philips. “The vertical hydroponics technology and Philips LED growth source that GSF is using is They bring a unique advantage – consistently producing quality crops throughout the year. As a leader in the lighting industry, we place great emphasis on using light in innovative ways to better serve our communities that live, work and play. ."

It is reported that GSF has invested millions of dollars and will be equipped with 14 planting towers with a height of 7.62 meters in two environmentally controlled growing rooms and using Philips energy-saving LED lighting solutions to grow specific crops. LED lamps have a lower temperature and can be placed in an optimal position closer to the plant, thus ensuring that all parts of the plant are perfectly illuminated. This method eliminates the use of harmful pesticides, chemical fertilizers and preservatives, so that the output is organically improved, and there is almost no chemical addition, which coincides with the modern people's pursuit of high-quality green and healthy living.
