Embodiment

[0024] 1. Materials

[0025] The experiment was carried out in the controlled environment room and the vegetable cultivation and physiology laboratory of the College of Horticulture, South China Agricultural University from October to December 2015. The lettuce variety tested was "Italian bolting-resistant lettuce", and the red, blue and green LED dimming console was used for the test treatment, in which the wavelength of red light was 657.5nm, the wavelength of blue light was 457.5nm, and the wavelength of green light was 522.5nm. The cultivation box for the test is a blue plastic pot with an inner volume of 60cm×40cm×12cm. The macronutrient formula of the nutrient solution adopts 1 / 2 Hoagland's formula (pH ≈ 6.0), and the trace elements are general formulas. The nutrient solution was not replaced after the lettuce was planted, and the nutrient solution was replenished to the original volume with deionized water every 3 days.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for hydroponically culturing lettuce by means of an LED light source. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps that 1, after lettuce seeds are germinated, seedling raising is conducted, and hydroponic culturing is conducted in a nutritional solution till seedlings growing out 3-4 true leaves are obtained; 2, transplanting and field planting are conducted on the seedlings; 3, after transplanting, light treatment is conducted on the seedlings, and the lettuce seedlings with the 3-4 true leaves are placed under an LED combining red light, blue light and green light to be cultured for 30 days to 33 days, wherein the wave length of the red light ranges from 655 nm to 660 nm, the wave length of the blue light ranges from 455 nm to 460 nm, the wave length of the green light ranges from 520 nm to 525 nm, the light intensity is 400 mumol.m<-2>.s<-1>, and the effective photosynthetic light quantum density percentage ratio of the red light to the blue light to the green light is 36:24:40. According to the method, a red-blue-green LED light control console is adopted, a specific proportion of green light is added in the red light and the blue light on the condition that the total light intensity keeps consistent, therefore, the lettuce which is high in yield, good in quality and high in beneficial mineral element content can be produced, and high-quality and efficient production of the hydroponically-cultured lettuce is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of LED light source configuration, in particular to a method for hydroponic lettuce in a plant factory using three kinds of LED combined light sources: red light, blue light and green light. Background technique [0002] With the continuous increase of people's demand for vegetables, facility vegetable cultivation has been widely used in production due to its safe and efficient production management methods. The adjustment of the light environment in the facility is an effective way to improve the production efficiency of vegetables. The light environment includes three aspects: light intensity, light time and light quality combination. Plants perceive different wavelengths of light through different photoreceptors (phytochrome, cryptochrome, phototropin). The incident light of different bands is absorbed by different photoreceptors, triggering different physiological responses, and the quality of light has a signif...
