The staff of the centre are looking at hydroponic root growth。
The vegetable water center
On 2 april, the author learned from a research conversion base at the provincial agricultural institute and from the vegetable water training centre of fujian yumei agricultural technology co. Ltd., located in maxi district, fukuzhou that the centre had made breakthrough progress in hydroponic techniques - • after five or six years of research, the production of hydroponic vegetables has been successful and has injected new scientific energy into the production of spring farming。
According to the director of the centre, the hydroponic vegetable growth cycle is less than half that of traditional soil cultivation. – the reduction of production from around 50 to 25 days is 5 to 7 times higher, with one acre of hydroponic capacity equivalent to 5 to 7 acres of traditional arable land. At the same time, hydroponic cultivation, free of drug use, effectively reduces the impact of pests and diseases by shortening the growth cycle and regularly disinfecting, saving both the cost of pesticides and the quality of vegetables, which are favoured by local businesses in fukuzhou。
It is described that the centre has now begun to grow hydro-breeding and produce such hydro-behaviour stars as chrysanthemum, rosa green vegetables, rosa cauliflowers and cuisine on a large scale and has provided the market in bulk. The centre's hydro-vegetables produce between 2 and 5 tons per day, with its main supply plants, canteens, restaurants and so on, and small market access, and is actively expanding its end-to-end distribution channels。
The centre is guided by a team from the province of cottpäijon to achieve the integrated development of productive research. The centre is equipped with an advanced hydroponic central control system, which consolidates nutrient control, temperature light control, environmental information gathering, etc., into digital integrated systems, combines international leading technologies such as automated temperature and humidity control, deep-water current soilless cultivation, achieves full-scale intelligent control and rigorous quality control of vegetable production, and tackles core challenges such as water temperature control.
