摘要:
A method and system for protecting roots of plants, including: an encasement disposed in a hole formed in soil, the encasement serves as a barrier between contents of the encasement and the soil surrounding the hole; and a feeding means, for communicating sustenance to roots of at least one plant disposed in the encasement.

A computer system and computer-implemented techniques for determining and presenting improved seeding rate recommendations for sowing hybrid seeds in a field is provided. In an embodiment, determining and presenting seeding rate recommendations for a field may be accomplished using a server computer system that receives over a digital communication network, electronic digital data representing hybrid seed properties, including hybrid seed type, and sowing row width. Using digitally programmed seeding query logic, within the server computer system, receiving digital data representing planting parameters including hybrid seed type information and sowing row width. The seeding query logic then retrieves a set of one or more seeding models from an electronic digital seeding data repository based upon the planting parameters. Each of the seeding model retrieved contain a regression model for the hybrid seed type modeling a relationship between plant yield and seeding rate on a specific field. Using mixture model logic, within the server computer system, generating an empirical mixture model in digital computer memory that represents a composite distribution of the set of one or more seeding models. The mixture model logic then generates an optimal seeding rate distribution dataset in digital computer memory based upon the empirical mixture model, where the optimal seeding rate distribution dataset represents the optimal seeding rate across all measure fields. Using optimal seeding rate recommendation logic, within the server computer system, calculating and presenting on a digital display device an optimal seeding rate recommendation that is based upon the optimal seeding rate distribution dataset.

An agricultural product comprises a fertilizer and a polymer mixed with the fertilizer. The polymer is an anionic polymer comprising at least four repeat units distributed along the length of the polymer chain. These repeat units include at least one each of a maleic, itaconic, and sulfonate repeat unit.

An agricultural device includes a number of row units that each includes a seed furrow opener that creates a furrow in the soil for seed placement. Each row unit is mounted to a toolbar of the device by a four-bar linkage which allows each row unit to move vertically to adjust to the contour of the soil independently of the other row units on the same toolbar. The four-bar linkages include one or more springs which work to transfer weight from the toolbar to the row unit. An actuator varies the tension in the spring thereby adjusting the down or up force applied to the row unit.

The invention relates to a modular container or irrigation module, as well as a modular irrigation system obtained by arranging at least two of said modules. The proposed modular irrigation system comprises at least two irrigation modules of the invention, and by stacking the modules vertically, the system can be used to form a continuous-flow irrigation system in which excess irrigation water is recirculated and evaporation losses can be minimized. Similarly, the module and the system of the invention can be used to form a sustainable construction system in which multiple irrigation systems are arranged to form various architectural elements, such as green walls, green columns, vertical gardens and the like.

The present invention relates to a method for applying an agrochemical mixture to a working area (2) of a field (1) using a vehicle (3) moving on the field (1). Thereby, a solid fertilizer (6) is spread on the working area (2) using a fertilizer spreading device (4) mounted on the vehicle (3; 3a) and a liquid fertilizer additive (7) is sprayed on the working area (2) using a field sprayer (5), mounted on the vehicle (3) separately from the fertilizer spreading device (4). Therein, the liquid fertilizer additive (7) is prevented from coming into contact with surfaces of the fertilizer spreading device (4), which also come into contact with the solid fertilizer (6). Moreover, the invention relates to a vehicle (3) for applying an agrochemical mixture to a working area (2) of a field (1) while moving on the field (1).
