Technology for farming of the future
Growing plants inside the room (Indoor or Plant Factory)
It is growing plants inside buildings or structures by using artificial lighting or using LED lights (Light emitting dioses). In Japan, it has been developed for use in the production of commercial lettuce for a long time. For this plant factory can be built anywhere without relying on nature, such as climate, soil fertility, and light. The plants produced in the plant factory system are high safety without pesticides and yield stable plants because all plant growth factors are regularly controlled internally.
Basic principles of the growing room
Building wall structure - with an insulation layer to prevent internal and external airflow.
Cooling system - optimizing internal temperature properly and ventilation.
Solar Grow Light system - for planting plants It is popular as LED light bulbs to help save energy.
CO2 supply unit system - It must be consistent with the power supply system.
Humidity control system - This is another major factor affecting VPD in plant growth.
Nutrient solution unit and pump - using mineral formulas suitable for plants
Vertical Farm - On an industrial scale, commonly used in hydroponics or substrate culture systems.
The control unit of various systems in the growing room
Advantages of growing plants in the room
The plants produced in the plant factory system are high safety without pesticides And produce all year round. It can be used for cooking immediately without having to undergo rinsing with water and can extend the shelf life after harvest by 2 times compared to crops grown in greenhouses because there is a much smaller amount of microorganisms attached to plants.
