The development of LED grow lights continues to change our understanding of agriculture. It is understood that since the rise of agricultural lighting, a number of companies have conducted research on using LED lighting to grow crops. It is worth mentioning that the Dutch companies are quite active in this aspect.
Recently, Delphy, a Dutch company, conducted a study using LED lighting to plant tree berries and blackberries to harvest during the winter.
Delphy first tried using LED lights last November to plant raspberries and blackberries, and fresh blackberries will be harvested starting in March.
The experiment showed that blackberry could be cultivated successfully by LED lighting under limited natural light conditions.
On Sept. 11, researchers at the Delphy improvement center began a new program to grow long-preserved and frozen blackberry plants and prepare to harvest fruits in December.
Delphy said the project, supported by the Netherlands department of agriculture, nature and food quality, aims to study the effects of indoor lighting and a combination of light intensity on the maturation of crops. At the same time, the research will also develop a future-oriented and efficient new planting concept to achieve the planting of blackberry in winter.
In fact, lighting is a key factor in the success of any crop. By combining the most efficient wavelength with the best environmental conditions, we create more arable space in industrial and urban areas, increase global crop yields in a commercial and environmentally sustainable way, and catch up with traditional farming methods. Delphy's success in using plant lights to grow blackberries points the way to a new direction for agriculture.
