Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention irradiates the plant leaves with LED light, green light, at night or in the dark to prevent powdery mildew and moths. It emits blue light to help control pests such as leaf mites and thrips. At the same time as dawn breaks, blue, green, red and yellow lights are turned on, flashed or dimmed simultaneously or alternately, and the lights are repeatedly turned on and flashed from dawn until sunrise to control thrips and whiteflies. This method of controlling pests involves irradiating the plant with green, red, yellow, red and blue LED lights at night or in the dark, and alternately turning them on and off at the same time as dawn breaks, luring pests such as thrips that gather on the pollen of the plant when it blooms and whiteflies that gather on the soft sprouts, and controlling them by sticking them to the adhesive tape. Background Technology
[0002] The present invention utilizes the green light of the green light LED element to promote plant growth, and the blue light of the blue light LED element to inhibit plant growth. These green and blue lights promote plant growth, resulting in high quality and increased yields. Dimmable LED yellow light, LED red light, and combined light power with green light. As described in
[0001] and
[0002] , this invention relates to a device that uses and controls the light of LEDs to promote the growth and inhibition of plant growth, increase the number of flowers, increase production, and combat pests such as powdery mildew, mites, thrips, aphids, whiteflies, and silverleaf bugs, and is constructed with an integrated LED element. Problems that the invention aims to solve Means for solving the problems
[0003] In particular, the use of natural enemy insects has become widespread for the control of pests such as spider mites and aphids. However, there are many difficulties in using it in combination with pesticides that have no effect on natural enemies of insects.
[0004] The plant itself inherently contains weak phenolic substances in its leaves to control pests, and in order to increase the content of the phenolic substances in the plant, blue or green light alone or a combination of blue and green light is irradiated at night, thereby increasing the content of the phenolic substances and controlling pests such as spider mites.
[0005] The phenolic substances contained in the leaves are actually synthesized by the plant itself, and are said to be a mild poison that maintains the growth of the plant itself and prevents the mass outbreak of pests, as pests eventually weaken and die when they continue to eat large amounts of the leaves.
[0006] By irradiating the plant at night using blue, green or blue and green light, the plant naturally increases phenolic substances in the leaves, which are harmful to insects. The method is characterized in that the adult insects, and especially the newly hatched larvae, are made to suck the leaf sap of the plant, thereby inhibiting the growth of harmful insects such as spider mites, and eventually causing them to die.
[0007] Thrips form colonies by rolling up leaves and sucking sap from inside the leaves and hiding in flowers to suck sap. They also lay eggs inside the leaves and the hatched larvae suck sap, which delays control measures. When they pupate, they burrow into the soil and when they become adults, they crawl up the stems from the ground and suck sap from the leaves.
[0008] The plant is characterized in that it is irradiated at night using blue or green single light or blue and green composite light to increase phenolic substances in the leaves of the plant in a natural way, causing the adults of thrips, which are pests, and especially the newly hatched larvae, to suck the leaf sap of the plant and eventually die.
[0009] The plant is characterized in that, by irradiating the plant at night with blue or green single light or blue and green composite light, the phenolic substances are naturally increased in the leaves of the plant, and the hatched larvae of the adult pests such as aphids and whiteflies, which swarm around the new shoots at the tips of the stems of silver leaves and suck the sap, are made to suck the sap containing the increased phenolic substances, thereby killing them. The pest control effect due to the increased phenolic substances is clearly stated. The literature listed below clearly states that it has been proven that the use of light increases protein and Kjeldahl nitrogen in the leaves.
[0010] Patent application 2009-165105 Patent application 2013-259581 Patent application 2014-49413
[0011] As described and demonstrated in the above paragraph "
[0009] ", while irradiating the inside of the leaves of the plant with green light at night to increase the Kjeldahl nitrogen, the inside of the leaves of the plant is irradiated with a combination of blue and green light, which causes protein to accumulate and be maintained in the leaves of the plant, and while maintaining a high concentration of protein, which is the nutritional concentration in the leaves of the plant, the phenolic substances in the leaves of the plant are also increased, which promotes inhibition of the growth and development of the plant and also brings about an increase in the number of flowers, making it possible to control the growth of the plant and increase its yield. The literature listed below clearly states that it has been proven that the use of light increases protein and Kjeldahl nitrogen in the leaves.

[0001] and
[0002] , the green, blue, and red LED elements were individually arranged and installed to create an LED control device that can be dimmed. We have constructed an integrated LED light device that can be controlled to suppress plant growth and increase the number of flowers, increase production, and control powdery mildew, mites, thrips, and other pests.The LED light elements are integrated into the device, and the device can be turned on, off, blinking, and dimmed.
[0013] At night or in the dark, when the outside temperature drops below 10°C, the blue light blue LED element is turned off. The green light LED element, which is a green light green LED element, can be turned on and dimmed, and at the same time as dawn or darkness is brightened, the yellow light of the yellow LED element and the blue light of the blue LED element can be turned on and blinked alternately from dawn to sunrise, forming an integrated device. An LED device was constructed by arranging the integrated LED elements.
[0014] At night or in the dark, when the outside air temperature rises to 15°C or higher, the blue light blue LED element will light up. The green light LED element, which is a green light LED element, is turned off, and at the same time dawn or darkness is brightened, the yellow light of the yellow LED element and the blue light of the blue LED element are turned on and off alternately from dawn until sunrise, making it possible to repeat this integrated LED device. A device was constructed in which the integrated LED elements were arranged in a row.
[0015] At night or in the dark, when the outside air temperature drops below 10°C, the blue light blue LED element is turned off. The LED device is configured as an integrated type, which enables the blue light of the blue LED element and the red light of the red LED element to be alternately turned on and off at the same time as the dawn or darkness is brightly opened, from dawn until sunrise.
[0016] At night or in the dark, when the outside air temperature rises to 15°C or higher, the blue light blue LED element will light up. At the same time as dawn or darkness turns bright, the LED device is configured as an integrated type, which allows the blue light of the blue LED element and the red light of the red LED element that continue to be turned on and off alternately from dawn until sunrise.
[0017] At night or in the dark, when the outside temperature drops below 10°C, the blue light blue LED element is turned off. At dawn or when the dark state becomes bright, the blue light blue LED element is turned on again and can be dimmed, and the yellow light of the yellow LED element for the yellow light and the red light of the red LED element for the red light can be turned on and blinked alternately, forming an integrated LED device. An LED device in which the above-described integrated LEDs are arranged, and a method of using the same.
[0018] When the outside temperature rises to 15°C or higher during nighttime or darkness, the green light green LED element is turned off. At the same time as dawn or darkness turns bright, the blue light blue LED element that continues to be lit can be turned on and dimmed, and the yellow light of the yellow LED element for the yellow light and the red light of the red LED element for the red light can be turned on and blinked alternately, forming an integrated LED device. An LED device in which the above-described integrated LEDs are arranged, and a method of using the same.
[0019] It is well known that whiteflies and aphids prefer yellow and thrips prefer blue. Taking advantage of this property, the yellow light of the LED element and the blue light of the LED element are turned on alternately, yellow adhesive tape and blue adhesive tape are attached to attract pests such as whiteflies, aphids, and thrips, and the adhesive tape is used to control them. When the outside temperature is below 10°C, the blue light irradiation is reduced as it causes stress for plant growth, and when the outside temperature is above 15°C, the blue LED element is used to emit blue light, accumulating more phenolic substances in the leaves, creating a pest control device.
