Japan's planting tea using LED lights

Located in the territory of Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, "Noda Germany Taro" tea processing plant, beginning in the indoor use red and green LED high bay lights on pesticide-free cultivation of tea seedlings. This new cultivation method, not only the operation is simple, and can cultivate safe, nutritious tea. It is understood that this breed of tea factory the company has been operated by the same predetermined cafe, tea dishes such as tempura materials. General manager of the company's fifth-generation Tomitaro Noguchi said: "If the new program can get tea dishes like everyone's favorite."

Set of 10 square meters in the company "plant workshop", the full LED bulbs emit violet. In order to better carry out photosynthesis, the "plant workshop" is the color of light. Staff will replace fluorescent lighting fixtures, the seedbed of bright yellow-green tea to greet the eye.

LED lighting 24 hours a day, so that has been maintained at 22-23 degrees Celsius temperature inside. Because the indoor cultivation, without worrying about germs and pests bring trouble, so in the process of cultivating will not use pesticides. In addition, the tea water and nutrients needed to come from the seedbed under the automatic sprinklers.

The company's general manager Noguchi from about two and half years ago to begin to consider the root as tea and tea edible dishes, and from April last year batted tea cultivation method and menus.

Tea is usually able to harvest three times a year, if the LED high bay lights 24 hours continuously, then the speed will reach the original breed 6 times a year can be harvested tea 10 times. The sections of this cultivation method is not transform the impact of annual harvest of tea can provide raw material for making tea dishes. In addition, on the "tea tree 24 hours continuous photosynthesis, then, be able to breed and vitamin-rich tea catechins" scenario, the researchers are also able to prove this idea to gather further data.

In recent years, the promotion of agricultural automation, agricultural production does not need to spend too much effort, this way, farmers will be achieved by aging. Noguchi general manager, said: "Although the use of a variety of tea, but we hope to make constructive tea production program.
