摘要:
The present disclosure generally relates to a high throughput system, apparatus, and methods useful for efficiently analyzing experimental liquid formulations applied to plants. In various embodiments, the high throughput system includes a liquid formulation dispensing subsystem (LFDS). The LFDS includes an automated moveable sample plate platform for holding at least one sample plate. Each sample plate includes a plurality of wells containing plant specimens. The LFDS is operable to sequentially position select ones of the wells at a well target location. Once a selected well is positioned at the target location, a micro-sprayer assembly, including at least one liquid formulation applicator, applies discrete amounts of a liquid formulation to the plant specimens within each selected well.

The invention relates to methods and systems for growing plants by initiating growth of a plant in a first growing facility and finishing the growth of the plant in a second growing facility. The invention also relates to methods of growing plants by exposing a plant to a light emitting diode after a period of initial growth without LED exposure. The invention also relates to methods of growing plants utilizing one or more of plug grow rooms and nursery grow rooms.
摘要:
A method for installing a cultivation floor system comprising a floor on which plant containers are placed, which cultivation floor system comprises an ebb/flood watering installation which is configured to alternately cause a supply of water to the cultivation floor and a discharge of water from the cultivation floor. The method comprises: - providing a watertight basin; - placing one or more irrigation lines in the basin, which irrigation lines provide several outflow openings along their length which make it possible for water to flow from the one or more irrigation lines; - providing a water pump and connecting that water pump to the one or more irrigation lines; - providing a water-permeable structure in the basin, which structure has a permeable and horizontal top which forms the floor on which plant containers are placed, which structure comprises one or more layers of granular material, wherein the one or more irrigation lines are covered by the permeable structure.

There is provided a fodder growing system (10) comprising a building slab 11 and insulated walls and roof panels 16 to form an insulated housing. A plurality of vertically-spaced, thermally massive MgO composite platforms (41) is supported at each end by uprights (34) and stringers (37, 40). The platform (41) is inclined 4° downward to a substantially unobstructed front edge. An irrigation system includes control means (51) for delivery of a selected, six-day irrigation program from a water supply (23, 26) to spray nozzles (45) supported over each of said platforms (41). An illumination system controlled by the control means (51) drives LED arrays (not shown) supported over each of said platforms (41). Temperature control means comprises a thermal collector (25) heating hot water supply (26) blended by a tempering valve with the cold water supply under the control of the control means (51) to control the temperature within the housing by controlling the temperature of the water supply.
摘要:
An automated gravimetric screening system and method controls soil moisture in a plurality of potted plants to perform water deficit experiments in a greenhouse using a stationary support platform and pot design that maintains the plants in a static location during the testing. By weighing and re-watering the pots from beneath the platform, the present system and method permits an upper gantry to capture high resolution images, temperature data, or other sensor data to quantify the plant stress level or plant canopy characteristics during the experiment.
摘要:
System for growth and/or crop boosting conditioning of plants (2), comprising means (3, 4) for supplying water and CO 2 to those plants. The means are, at least partly, arranged for feeding and/or applying CO 2 and water in combined form, e.g. in the form of CO 2 -rich water. The means may comprise local spray or mist heads (4) which are arranged for applying CO2 and water in combined form or CO2-rich water (5) respectively, in the direct environment of the relevant plants. Combining CO 2 and water into CO 2 -rich water may be performed by dissolving CO 2 into water under pressure.
摘要:
Der Blumenbinde- und Pflanzentränkewagen enthält ein auf einem fahrbaren Gestell angeordnetes Tauchbecken (3). Der Boden (15) des Tauchbeckens befindet sich in einem Abstand über dem Fussboden, der mindestens 1/4 der Wagengesamthöhe entspricht. Seitlich des Tauchbeckens befindet sich ein Beckenfortsatz (4) mit einer geneigten Ablaufwand (12). Oberhalb des Beckenfortsatzes (4) liegt ein gelochter Abtropftisch (5). Auf der dem Abtropftisch (5) abgewandten Seite ist ein in Horizontalrichtung verschiebbares Tablar (6) vorhanden, das sich über das Tauchbecken (3) schieben lässt. Für den Abfluss und allenfalls für die Zufuhr des Wassers ist im untersten Bereich ein Schlauch (8) vorhanden. Mit diesem Wagen wird die Bewässerung von sich in Gefässen befindlichen Pflanzen im Tauchverfahren und Blumenbindearbeiten wesentlich vereinfacht.

Die Anlage zur Behandlung von Spalierpflanzen enthält einen in Standweiten auf Führungen bewegbaren Geräteträger mit einem elektrischen Antrieb und einer Steuerwelle (6), an dessen Plattform (1) eine Sprühvorrichtung (13), eine Einheit (14) zur automatischen Steuerung der Geräteträgerfahrt und der Arbeit der Sprühvorrichtung (13) und Trommeln (7 und 9) mit einem elektrischen Speisekabel (8) bzw. einem Schlauch (10) für die Behandlungsflüssigkeit montiert sind, welche Trommeln gesonderten Wellen (18 und 19) unabhängig voneinander und mit unterschiedlicher Drehzahl drehbar gelagert sind. Die Einrichtungen (11 und 12) zum Verlegen des Kabels (8) und des Schlauches (10) auf den jeweiligen Trommeln (7 und 9) sind mit diesen synchron drehbar angeordnet.
摘要:
In order to ensure that the greenhouse plants receive a sufficient supply of water it is suggested to integrate the atmospheric moisture within the greenhouse and control the supply of water as a function of the integrated atmospheric moisture. The moisture control is preferably combined with a control according to the solar radiation. An apparatus for controlling the irrigation may comprise a moisture sensor (12) and a light- and heat sensor (14) transmitting signals via an AD-converter to a microcomputer which is adapted to calculate the size of the amounts of water supplied through irrigation and which is capable of activiting the supply by transmitting a suitable number of pulses to a relay (R) controlling a solenid valve (16) controlling the supply of water.
