Análise de viabilidade econômica da utilização de suplementação luminosa com lâmpadas led no cultivo de alface

Abstract

The world population tends to grow over the years, being estimated through studies that it will reach more than nine people or the year 2050. With population growth, greater food production is needed, requiring the use of technologies to meet this demand. Artificial lighting applied in agriculture is a technology that has already been used in the cultivation of plants, and can be used in different ways. Of the types of application of artificial lighting in agriculture, there is a light supplementation, which complements the hours of light that determine the plant needed to develop. Due to the importance that this topic addresses, and with the need for studies that demonstrate the way of using artificial lighting in agriculture, the work presented carried out a study in a practical way without limit of light supplementation, verifying the economic viability of lighting a system of light supplementation in plant cultivation. For alpha cultivation applications, containing artificial lighting, where it can be complemented by study, bed tools were applied, for productivity productivity purposes. How can be the indicators, corresponding to weight, production area, diameter and number of leaves, the indicators that are good results.
