摘要:
To provide a plant draw-in device and a plant body transplantation system that can draw roots of plant bodies into holes reliably with a simple structure, so that there is no need of monitoring or manual operation for roots insertion and the production efficiency can be improved. The plant draw-in device 110 includes a draw-in tube 111 that can be disposed below a hole 121, a draw-in member 113 provided such as to be capable of protruding from the draw-in tube 111, and a drive unit 114 that reciprocally moves the draw-in member 113 such as to come out from, and retract into, the draw-in tube 111. The draw-in member 113 is formed such that a portion thereof protruding from the draw-in tube 111 deforms and spreads outward.

A growth substrate for plants including polylactic acid, wherein the polylactic acid is particulate polylactic acid foam. A method for preparing a growth substrate for plants including polylactic acid foam, the method including providing particulate expandable polylactic acid and exposing the particulate expandable polylactic acid to predetermined temperature and pressure conditions to obtain particulate polylactic acid foam.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a horticultural growing and support medium comprising a synthetic foam slab permeable to water, said foam slab comprising: (a) A first, growing surface (1), whence plants grow to ambient and (b) An opposite second, draining surface (2), separated from the growing surface by the thickness of the block,
Characterized in that, a limited portion only of the second, draining surface is coated with a coating (2B) having a permeability to water substantially lower than the slab material, preferably substantially impervious to water, for controlling the draining and storage of water contained in the slab.

A foamed glass plant growth support structure, including a foamed glass substrate and a plurality of interconnected pores distributed throughout the substrate. The substrate is characterized by a porosity of at least about 80 percent. The pore size is substantially between about 0.2 and about 5 millimeters and the substrate is sufficiently chemically stable such that water filling the plurality of interconnected pores experiences a pH shift of less than 0.5.

A natural biodegradable felt suitable for growing seeds, seedlings or plants comprises a needlepunched felt mat formed of unscoured greasy wool, with or without additional nitrogenous material in the form of crushed or rolled animal excreta (dags). One such mat has a base which is sufficiently dense that it suppresses the growth of weeds through the mat, while being sufficiently loose in the upper surface to enable scattered seeds to be impregnated into the mat, and to grow through the mat when watered. The mat and seeds can be shrink wrapped and rolled to provide an instant lawn. An alternative version uses a different density substrate for use in hydroponics, or for the delivery of growing plants such as lettuce or herbs to supermarkets.

The present disclosure provides methods for detecting and identifying plant events that contain precision targeted genomic loci, and plants and plant cells comprising such targeted genomic loci. The method can be deployed as a high throughput process utilized for screening the intactness or disruption of a targeted genomic loci and optionally for detecting a donor DNA polynucleotide insertion at the targeted genomic loci. The methods are readily applicable for the identification of plant events produced via a targeting method which results from the use of a site specific nuclease.

The present invention provides as alternatives to natural soil (1) a plant growable artificial soil only by supplying water (such as tap-water), which has excellent fertilizer retainability by comprising a granulated material of fertilizer retainable fillers, and a method of making the artificial soil; (2) an artificial soil, which only specified fertilizer components are adsorbed by using a material having high fertilizer retainability; and (3) a granulated plant growing material having excellent fertilizer retainability so as to have both high cation exchange capacity and anion exchange capacity, excellent water retaining capacity with respect to water, which can be easily absorbed by the plants, and excellent breathability so as to return to high breathable state in a short time even if retaining water until reaching a saturated state.
摘要:
In an artificial soil medium including a collection of artificial soil particles, provided is a technique of allowing an appropriate nutrient(s) to be released during each growth stage of plant to be grown, or highly controlling the amount of a nutrient(s), depending on a plant to be grown. An artificial soil medium 100 includes a plurality of artificial soil particles 50 configured to release a nutrient. The plurality of artificial soil particles 50 include a plurality of types of artificial soil particles 50 configured to release different nutrients during different stages of a plant cultivation period. The plurality of types of artificial soil particles 50 are configured to release a nutrient in response to a change in an external environment.
摘要:
Plant cultivation materials, which have the liquid retentivity and the liquid transitivity, which provide the best environment for plants respiration, which comprises polyesters, natural pulps and/or synthetic pulps such as polyolefin pulps, from which plants can absorb the amount of the elements necessary for the plant growth as much as plants want whenever plants want, and which provide the cultivation environment to accelerate the plant growth, and the plant cultivation methods by using the materials can be provided.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of efficiently producing nitrate nitrogen as inorganic nutrients from an organic material without performing any operation using constant electrical power such as aeration. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a solid medium for cultivating a plant, which allows hydroponics to be performed through the direct addition of an organic fertilizer even in the case of performing hydroponics with solid medium cultivation. Provided is a method of manufacturing a carrier on which microorganisms capable of conducting a multiple parallel mineralization are immobilized, the method comprising: filling a container with a carrier having ventilation; adding thereto microorganisms that can conduct a multiple parallel mineralization by mineralization of an organic material to produce nitrate nitrogen; and subsequently adding an organic material and then leaving at rest until nitrate nitrogen starts to be produced in an effluent during washing the carrier through the addition of water to discharge the effluent from the carrier; thereby immobilizing the microorganisms capable of conducting a multiple parallel mineralization.
