In the Pengyang County of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in northwestern China, a compelling story of technological innovation and agricultural transformation is unfolding.
Pengyang County is seizing the opportunity offered by the rural revitalization strategy by actively introducing technology-based enterprises and sowing the seeds of modern technology in this ancient land, particularly in the field of facility vegetable production, where the power of science and technology is gradually demonstrating its extraordinary influence.
Recently, an innovative technology—LED grow lighting—has shone brightly within the Hazi Yuan facility agriculture park in Pengyang County. The greenhouse tomatoes here, as the first “test fields” to adopt this technology, have welcomed a bountiful harvest.
Stepping into these technologically advanced greenhouses, one is greeted by lush green vines and branches heavy with bright red tomatoes.
Nurtured by precision LED lighting, these tomatoes not only have an appealing color but also mature early and are of superior quality, bringing growers an unprecedented harvest and hope.
Zhang Fengyou, a veteran vegetable grower with over a decade of experience, is full of praise for this new technology. After installing 170 LED plant lighting fixtures in his greenhouse, he has not only achieved precise control over the growth environment for his tomatoes but has also greatly improved the crop’s growth efficiency.
“I can monitor the conditions inside the greenhouse through my phone, and I only need to supplement the lighting for 4 hours a day, which is especially important on days when natural light is insufficient,” Zhang Fengyou excitedly shares.
His greenhouse tomatoes, which hit the market about ten days earlier than usual, have gained a significant first-mover advantage in the market, leading to a notable increase in economic benefits. This success has prompted him to plan for further expansion of the application of LED plant lighting technology.
LED plant lighting technology has caused a sensation in regions like Pengyang is that it effectively addresses the long-standing issue of insufficient light in greenhouse environments, which has plagued agricultural production.
By simulating the optimal spectrum, LED grow lights not only provide crops with ample lighting but also promote healthy plant growth and enhance yield and quality by precisely controlling the light period.
Additionally, this technology demonstrates energy-saving and environmental-friendly features. The long lifespan of LED fixtures reduces maintenance costs, aligning with the concept of sustainable development in modern agriculture.
Pengyang County’s initiative is a concrete practice in actively responding to the national rural revitalization strategy. By continuously increasing investment in agricultural technology, the county has not only built a number of standardized and intelligent facility vegetable bases but also established a platform for local farmers to learn about and apply high and new technologies.
This helps them master modern agricultural production techniques, thereby increasing crop yields while also broadening the channels for farmers to increase their income, injecting a strong impetus of science and technology into the realization of rural revitalization.
More importantly, Zhang Fengyou’s practical exploration and the encouragement from the Pengyang County government hold significant implications for the development of agriculture not only in China but also globally.
In the context of global climate change and increasingly stringent constraints on resources and the environment, how to use technological means to improve the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural production has become a common challenge faced by countries worldwide.
This successful case demonstrates that even in areas with relatively unfavorable natural conditions, agricultural production can be transformed and upgraded by precision policies, technological innovation, and policy support, paving a way for ecologically prioritized and green development.
The introduction of LED plant lighting technology in the facility vegetable industry is not only an innovation at the technical level but also a profound transformation in development concepts and models. It proves that technology is a vital force in promoting agricultural modernization and an effective way to increase farmers’ income.
