KEY TECHNOLOGY OF VERTICAL FARMING

- Plant Factory Technology

Breakthrough 1
Vertical Cultivation
Plant factory

land ratio improve to 20

Developed more than 20 Multi-layers vertical Hydroponics system, greatly improved space utilization.

Field cultivation Difference of two cultivation methods in unit area

Breakthrough 2
LED Artificial Light For Plant Growth Research CaseCucumber seedlings growth in plant factory with LED

Test Results
LED R/B=7:1 is suitable for cucumber seedlings in plant factory.

Breakthrough 3
Environmental Control Make Real-Time Digital Observation and PLC-Based Intelligent Monitoring to temperature, humidity, light, nutrient solution (EC, pH, DO, fluid temperature), etc.

Visions for the future

Greenhouse Plant Factory As high-rise buildings people live, Vertical farming will be the place crops and vegetables grow in future. So we can call it Skyscraper Agriculture. Agriculture production activities now in fields will be completed in Multidimensional space. It will be a high efficient production and high-yield systems, which simulate the biological growth environment.
