LG Electronics Plant Cultivator

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics is set to launch a plant cultivator as early as this month and begin actively pioneering the market.

According to industry sources on the 15th, LG Electronics obtained radio certification from the National Radio Research Agency last month for the "Sprout and Bean Sprout Cultivator (product name: L120B1)."

Considering that it typically takes about a month on average from receiving radio certification to launching a new product, LG Electronics' plant cultivator is expected to be introduced to the market within this year.

The plant cultivator is a standard model that is larger than existing products and can cultivate a greater variety of vegetables. The product is characterized by controlling light, water, temperature, and air to easily grow plants indoors.

LG Electronics has incorporated precise temperature control and constant temperature technology from Dios refrigerators, inverter technology, water supply control technology from PuriCare water purifiers, air conditioning technology from Whisen air conditioners, and LED wavelength and light intensity control technology into the plant cultivator.

In particular, the air conditioning technology optimizes the airflow inside the plant cultivator to create an air current suitable for vegetable growth. The LED wavelength and light intensity control technology enhances the photosynthesis efficiency of the vegetables.

The industry expects LG Electronics to sell the product in a rental service format rather than direct sales. It is also possible to supply seeds and seedlings and provide regular care solution services.

Currently, in Korea, Kyowon has entered the plant cultivator business first, and Samsung Electronics and SK Magic are preparing to enter the market.
