It has been five months since the first intelligent LED plant factory in Xinjiang was put into production. In this high-tech agricultural base located in the third team of Xinlian Village, Qinggedahu Township, Wuzhen City, only one glass greenhouse plant with an area of nearly 1 mu can produce 200 kilograms of green leafy vegetables every day. It can be said that the output value of 1 mu of land here is equivalent to the output value of nearly 40 mu of land.
In the field of facility agriculture, this is the first time in Xinjiang to achieve continuous and efficient agricultural production throughout the year through LED photoelectric agricultural facilities and advanced hydroponic cultivation techniques. Currently, the ready-to-eat vegetables produced by this plant are already being supplied in the fresh areas of some of the largest supermarkets in the capital.
Zhang Shize, a Taiwanese who came to China with this technology, said that facility agriculture can use plant factories to provide a place that is free from external climatic conditions and capable of full-time agricultural production. Xinjiang has seven or eight months of climate in a year. Cold, insufficient light, etc. are not suitable for plant growth. The most important factor in building a plant is LED lighting. Xinjiang is very advantageous in that it has sufficient power resources and reasonable prices, so that plant factories can provide vegetables of good quality and reasonable price.
