摘要:
Thermoformed double tray system for cultivation of plants including a top tray which is stacked with a bottom tray. The top tray has cells for receiving a substrate. The bottom tray provides rigidity to the double tray system. The bottom tray has a baseplate which is provided with support elements to support the top tray. The baseplate has an outer edge which defines the outer contour of the bottom tray. A groove shaped deepening in the baseplate is extending in parallel with the outer edge. The deepening increases a bending stiffness of the bottom tray and provides rigidity to the double tray system. The deepening is provided with a reinforcing ribs which cross the deepening.

Some embodiments include a plant cradle including a main body including a first and second end. Some embodiments include a segmented main body and at least one portion pivotable with respect to another. In some embodiments, the plant cradle includes an outer surface extending from the first to the second end and which includes a ridge adjacent a first surface. The plant cradle also includes an aperture extending at least partially through the main body from the first end towards the second end. Further, in some embodiments, the plant cradle includes a hinge section coupled to the at least two portions. The hinge section is configured to enable at least two portions to be pivoted with respect to each other about the hinge section. In some embodiments, the main body can be a polymer, a foamed polymer, a polymer fiber, polymer mesh, polymer weave, or polymer mat.

A seedling tray includes a top body member constructed of a rigid solid plastic material having a plurality of planting cells formed in an upper surface with each of the cells converging downwardly and inwardly to define an opening at the bottom thereof. A plurality of air chambers are formed between adjacent ones of the cells which are closed at the bottom by a bottom plate member constructed of a rigid plastic material which is fixedly attached to the body member and which has openings therein corresponding in number and alignment with the openings of the bottoms of the cells which are sealingly engaged with the openings in the bottom plate member.
摘要:
A method for cultivating a plant, wherein a substrate is formed, in which substrate a seed or a root of the plant is placed, which substrate containing the seed or the plant is placed in a holder for the plant to grow, characterised in that at least two substrate parts are formed, with the seed or a root of the plant being placed between said at least two substrate parts before the substrate containing the seed or the plant is placed in the holder.
摘要:
The invention relates to an assembly in use forming a tray for plant material. The assembly includes a holder; and at least one insert which can be respectively placed in and removed from the holder. The insert includes at least one cell defining a plant position. The cell includes at least a wall and a bottom for accommodating content in the cell during use of the assembly. The at least one wall substantially encloses the plant position. The wall and/or bottom comprises an opening through which access is provided with means for removing the content of the cell, such as a pusher or a ram.

The present invention relates to the use of dry and compacted aquatic grasses containing zosteric acid and/or zosterin, as a support for soil-less cultivation. It also relates to a support for cultivation consisting at least in part of such aquatic grasses.
摘要:
A combination of a plant flat having a plant talker, and plant containers in the flat having plant tags, wherein the talkers and tags coordinate with respect to the conveyance of particular plant criteria or other useful information to the purchaser. Such criteria may include desired planting conditions, including sunlight, part sunlight, shade, part shade, moisture needs, drainage needs, soil content and soil pH or plant features such as the capability of plants to attract butterflies or hummingbirds, plant color or fragrance. The invention also provides for a method of communicating information about plants through the use of the coordinated talkers and tags.

The invention includes an improved container and method for growing a plant to be subsequently transplanted. In one embodiment, an upwardly extending container wall is adapted for retaining soil. A plurality gutters are disposed on an interior portion of the container wall. The gutters extend along the container wall to one or more openings, thereby guiding roots to the openings for air pruning the roots. A root guiding surface of the gutter may extend downwardly and outwardly to the container wall, to form a substantially v-shaped gutter. Alternatively, an upwardly extending lip may be disposed on an inner portion of the root guiding surface, forming a substantially u-shaped gutter between the lip, ledge, and the interior portion of the container wall. The gutters may also slope downward in a direction along the container wall to better accommodate the geotropic nature of plant roots. An upwardly extending finger may also be disposed on the container wall above each gutter, to guide roots to the nearest opening.

The present invention is directed to, a container, multiple arrangements of container and flat/tray pallets, corresponding container/flat/tray/pallet assemblies, an automated pallet assembly/disassembly system, autonomous pallet assembly transfer units, an autonomous pallet assembly transport train, and an integrated automated production system, for use in a horticultural nursery environment for: substantially reducing labor needed to produce; stabilizing of; collecting and shedding broadcast applications to; reflecting desired sunlight to foliage of; reducing root tip heating of; reducing water consumption in growing; reducing wetting of foliage of; controlling excess root growth of; and, reducing weed growth proximal to; spaced potted plants.
摘要:
A nursery bed for transplantation formed in a connected-type pot for raising seedlings, including a medium layer made of medium base materials, a granular fertilizer layer placed on the medium layer and made of granular fertilizers, and seeds or plant bodies, in which the granular fertilizers contain a slow release nitrogen fertilizer and include approximately 70 mass percent or more granules having a granule size of approximately I mm or more with a maximum granule size of the fertilizers of approximately 2 mm or less, and a method of cultivating a plant using the nursery bed.
