Problems solved by technology

Artificial lighting solutions for plants also exist in the prior art, of which WO / 2011 033177 is perhaps the most advanced, but also only addresses increasing photosynthetic growth of plants, not their reproduction or fruit growth

Embodiment Construction

[0037] figure 2 A flow chart showing the method of the present invention is shown. In stage 200, a light emission peak is selected. The emission peak should have a wavelength that coincides with the reflectance peak of the flower of the plant being pollinated and cultivated. exist Figure 1B Reflection curves for several exemplary flowering plants are shown in . In addition, spectral peaks should be emitted at wavelengths consistent with the increased light-receiving sensitivity of insect vision. exist Figure 1C An exemplary sensitivity curve is shown in . According to the present invention, these spectral peaks appear approximately at any one of the following wavelengths: 348 nm; 375 nm; 435 nm; 538 nm, with a margin of error of ±10 nm. Of course, peak wavelengths will vary depending on the plant species being bred and the insects used to bred that plant, and one or more specific emission peaks for each pollinating insect-flower pair are chosen according to the invent...

Abstract

The invention relates to the cultivation of insects (840) pollinating plants (710, 711) in a greenhouse (700, 701 and 802) environment. More specifically, the present invention relates to a light emitting device and lighting method designed to enhance insect pollination in plants such as tomatoes. The best mode for considering the invention is to use LED (101, 102, 103 and 104) lighting devices which have relative absorption peaks to photosynthesis of green plants, and relative reflection peaks to plant flowers under cultivation, and which are used in pollination The relative sensitivity peaks of insect vision match the emission peaks (401, 402, 403, 410, and 510). The light emitting devices and methods of the present invention reduce insect mortality and increase pollination efficiency, photosynthetic growth, and thereby increase the productivity of plant cultivation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the cultivation of insect pollinated plants in a greenhouse environment. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lighting device and lighting method designed to enhance insect pollination in plants such as tomatoes. Background technique [0002] It is a well-known fact that many plants are pollinated by insects, and the most notable crop that falls into this category is the tomato. Reproduction of these plants and fruit production depend on pollination by insects and wind under natural conditions. In a greenhouse environment, mechanical vibrators and hormonal treatments of plants have been used in the prior art to ensure adequate levels of pollination. These methods lead to poor quality of fruit. For example, pollination failure can lead to deformed fruit. Introducing insects into a greenhouse environment increases crop yields but is very expensive because greenhouse gas discharge lamps use their heat ...
