May 15, 2012 · Filed Under Green Tech · Comments Off
Show Denko K.K. (SDK) and Yamaguchi University have jointly developed a LED-based cultivation method for plant growth facilities, which significantly shortens the shipment cycle while increasing the amount of harvest through the irradiation of light which has been optimized for plant growth. The choice of Led lighting is mainly due to its narrow wavelength range enabling selective irradiation of light with suitable wavelengths resulting in efficient cultivation of plants. SDK has developed a specialized LED chips capable of emitting red light with wavelength of 660 nm, with highest luminous efficiency in the world according to SDK. Read more
