DEVICE FOR CONTROL OF GROWTH OR PROPERTIES OF PLANTS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01G9/24 G01N21/84 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: device has at least one light emitting device such as a light emitting diode which is used to illuminate at least one part of the plant; at least one light sensor to measure the light coming from the said at least one part of the plant; communication tools, designed to facilitate communication between the said at least one light sensor, at least one light-emitting device and the processor. The processor, by means of communication tools, reads data received from the said at least one sensor, generates a control signal based on the data obtained and background information and then based on the said control signal by means of communication tools it manages at least one light-emitting device for ensure better growth and properties of plants. Light sensor is arranged to control the biochemical properties of plants by measuring the intensity of incident light, combined with the measurement of reflectance and/or light fluorescence. The processor is adapted to change and improve the biochemical properties of the plant.

EFFECT: invention enables to control the environmental conditions, to manage automatically the growth and/or properties of plants, to improve their quality, the process of growth and growth rate.
