What are the components of vertical farming?
The essential components of a vertical farm include multi-layer production shelves, hydroponic growing system, aeroponic, or aquaponic growing systems and sole-source electrical lighting consisting primarily of high-intensity light-emitting diodes (LED grow lights ) or fluorescent grow lamps.
Multi-layer shelves help you maximize your valuable floor space by stacking plants vertically. These grow racks adopt the concept of traditional archive racks and apply them to indoor AG. High quality antirust materials make these racks durable and reliable. LED grow lights can be installed on each floor so that your plants can photosynthesis without hindrance. The direct chain drive system ensures flexibility.
There are three soilless growing technologies now used across the industry: hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. Hydroponics grows plants suspended in water, aeroponics grows plants suspended in air, and aquaponics is a unique combination of hydroponics and fish farming in an integrated system.
Lighting is an indispensable factor for plant growing. Light can inhibit the growth of plant internodes. This effect will increase with the increase of light intensity and light time. Therefore, under the condition of weak light and too short illumination time, the seedlings are easy to grow between internodes, and the growth time is long. Under strong light, the illumination time is long and the internode is short. In addition, different light quality will also affect the growth of seedling stems. Under normal circumstances, red orange light is the most effective light for photosynthesis, which can accelerate the growth of seedlings, but the internodes are long and the stems are thin; Blue violet light can dwarf the growth of seedlings, while ultraviolet light has the strongest effect on inhibiting the growth and promoting the dwarfing of seedlings.
LED plant grow lights are really effective. Red light can promote stem rooting, chlorophyll formation, carbohydrate accumulation, absorption and utilization. The advantages of plant grow lamps are that they can control light quality, light intensity and photoperiod manually, so that plants are always in the best growing environment, thus improving the quality and yield.
