Agriculture in Japan is approaching a crisis for two reasons: a declining self-sufficiency rate and a decreasing number of agriculture workers. To solve these problems, plant factories have been attracting attention recently. Plant factories are facilities that aid the steady production of high-quality vegetables year round by artificially controlling the cultivation environment, allowing growers...
In order to improve productive efficiency of plant factory because the vegetable price of plant factory is high, in this study, leaf lettuce (Early impulse) was employed as specimen in plant factory and root of the lettuce was applied various PEFs for increasing lettuce growth rate. The experimental results showed PEF intensity from 0.2 to 1.0 kV/cm was occurred to growth stimulation. On the contrary,...
Physical phenomena caused by pulsed electromagnetic energy have a variety of applications on biotechnologies. Electroporation method for agricultural applications was started around 15 years ago in order to improve juice extraction yield of fruits and root vegetables. Some reported that the drying time of root vegetables can be reduced to about 1/3 due to promotion of cell‐disruption after applying...
