Researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences: Three to five years later, a large number of commercial plant factories will emerge
Since the 1940s, the application and promotion of nutrition liquid cultivation technology based on the theory of "mineral nutrition" and the first artificial plantation established by the American plant physiology and horticulturalist FWWent in Pasadena, California in 1949 The revolutionary breakthrough in the "artificial simulated eco-environment" triggered by the climate chamber has given rise to mature conditions for the emergence of plant factories. 1957 Denmark was born the world's first plant factory. After Japan and other countries have followed. The term "plant factory" was first proposed by Japan and in the narrow sense refers to artificial light-type plant production systems. In a workshop-simulated environment, nutrient solutions replace the soil and deliver enough nutrients to the plants. In the process of plant growth, the temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration is also controlled by the computer in a controlled range. I...
