Plant lighting new direction | LED illumination or plant diseases can be suppressed

US Department of Agriculture and the US Food and Agricultural Research Institute (NIFA) It will provide $ 1.7 million funding allows researchers to carry out the use of light to inhibit a variety of pathogens research program. Mark `Elijah (Mark Rea) Professor, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the United States (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) Director of the Lighting Research Center, will cover Road and Cornell University David `Agriculture and Life Sciences (David Gadoury) Cooperation involved in this research program. Joint research and two Norwegian research groups, the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and the Norwegian Center for Biological Economy Research.


US Department of Agriculture (USDA) As well as the United States Food and Agricultural Research (NIFA) We will provide $ 1.7 million (Equivalent to about 10.78 million yuan) Funding allows researchers to carry out the use of light to inhibit a variety of pathogens research program.

The research team will develop and test the UV-B and visible means of different production systems, to suppress powdery mildew (powdery mildew) Feasibility, to better understand how light affects the severity of the pathogen on the plant and development of these diseases.


The research team also shoulder the responsibility to promote, so that the public understand the importance of light on the control of plant diseases. And to further assist the relevant personnel to identify the most suitable sustainable crop production lighting technology.

US time on October 12, USDA and NIFA announced $ 50 million in funding for special crops research program (SCRI) .

The program aims to develop and promote the scientific method to solve problems specific crop concept, encompassing all the special category of crop production from the study of plant genes to develop new methods of production, design and find solutions to food poisoning.

NIFA bet many funds for high-tech agricultural research, education, and then extends to seek revolutionary solutions to social problems of mankind.
