Abstract

A blue-green-red three-band phosphor for multilayer agricultural plastic film for converting near ultraviolet light in photosynthetic active radiation is disclosed. The substrate of the phosphor is prepared from the group IIA element SiO44−, having a total stoichiometric equation (ΣMe+2O)2α(SiO2)α, in which α=1, 2, 3, ΣMe+2=Ba+2 and/or Sr+2 and/or Ca+2 and/or Mg+2, having an orthorhombic crystal architecture, and generating a three-band spectrum when activated by d-f element selected from the group of Eu+2, Mn+2 and Sm+2. The maximum wavelength of the three-band spectrum is λ1=440˜460 nm, λ2=515˜535 nm and λ3=626˜640 nm. The maximum value and halfwave width of every spectrum are determined subject to the concentration of the activator and the phosphor synthesis technology. The three-band phosphor is prepared through a solid synthesis method in the form of high dispersed ultrafine powder having the average grain size of d≦0.8 μm. The use of an agricultural plastic film made according to the present invention in an enclosed soil equipment greatly raises the productivity of vegetable crop.
