Fine dust and yellow dust can affect the quality of plants grown through the winter and spring.
To tackle this problem, more and more farms are using supplementary lighting to boost growth.
Inside these greenhouses, roses and gerberas are about to bloom right on time for this year’s spring season.
However, this farm noticed some challenges from the high levels of fine dust and yellow dust at the start of spring.
But they are not the only farm adopting this technology.
According to Rural Development Administration there were 34 places using this lighting in 2015. Three years later, this had jumped to 80 places.
The type of lighting being used by the farms is changing too.
The RDA has been providing support for supplementary lighting.
And they are also providing a coating technology so fine dust doesn’t attach to greenhouses easily to stop fine dust from blocking sunlight.
