Desert Gobi LED plant factory supplies fresh vegetables for the officers and soldiers of the post

Instead of warm sunlight and fertile soil in this lab-like enclosed space, vegetables grow entirely with nutrient solution and LED plant light technology, according to the report. Planters use soilless cultivation technology to reasonably distribute nutrient solution to spray vegetables regularly, and use LED plant lamp to check the humidity in the air and the operation of the circuit system to ensure that plants are in a constant temperature environment and grow strong and healthy.

Since the cultivation of vegetables with nutrient solution does not require the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the production process, it ensures that vegetables are kept away from germs and insect pests in the process of seedling and production, and can be eaten without washing when the vegetables are mature.

Although the plant factory is not big, its monthly output can reach up to 30 jin. At present, the officers and soldiers have successfully planted fresh vegetables such as raw vegetables, spinach and celery. The supply of vegetables was not easy for the border post located in the desert and gobi. Now, with the plant factory, the soldiers and soldiers of the post eat fresh vegetables.
