The application of LED illumination and intelligent control in plant factory, a new direction for modern agriculture: A Review

Because of its cold light source and adjustable spectrum characteristics, light-emitting diode (LED) is widely used in modern agriculture, it can promote the growth and photomorphogenesis of the plant, also can improve yield and quality. Here, we introduce the advantages of LED over traditional light sources, and analyze the effects of different wavelengths of light on phototrophic plants and the ways in which different light detection systems interact in plants. We also analyze the effects of LED illumination on plants, the response of plants to LED illumination systems. In addition, we summarize the typical LED supplement light devices and intelligent control system in the world, and introduce their working methods and advantages respectively. Finally, we look forward to the future development direction and application prospects of LED with the intelligent control and machine in modern agriculture.
