摘要： A greenhouse growing environment has a distributed control system for selecting, monitoring, and administering hydroponic nutrient solution mixtures that are tailored to crop varieties of the greenhouse. The crop varieties are preselected based on location characteristics of the greenhouse and analysis results of source water. The analysis results indicate a nutrient composition of the source water. A predefined nutrient formulation is then automatically combined with the source water by a nutrient dispensing subsystem, to achieve a desired nutrient solution mixture that is applied to a hydroponic bay. A computational system automatically monitors the state of a hydroponic environment and directs input modules as programmed, in order to increase plant growth, plant quality, and volume of plant yield.

摘要： There are provided a cultivation control system, a cultivation control program, and a cultivation control method that can independently set growth conditions in a plurality of divided cultivation spaces and that can perform control by changing growth environments in the individual cultivation spaces. In a cultivation apparatus 300, each of the internal environments of a plurality of shielded spaces is shielded from the internal environments of the shielded spaces adjacent thereto and from an external environment of the cultivation apparatus 300. A portable communication communication terminal 200 performs remote control of environment control apparatuses 350a to 350f such that at least one of the internal environments of the plurality of shielded spaces is independently controlled.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for controlling the atmosphere in a closable space filled with agricultural or horticultural products. The method comprises directly detecting the respiration of the agricultural or horticultural products and adjusting an oxygen content, a carbon dioxide content and/or a nitrogen content in the space subject to the detected respiration. The respiration is detected here periodically, in each case for a determined time, and the space is sealed off from external influences during detection of the respiration. A very good control is achieved by taking the actual respiration as starting point, and a highly reliable detection forms the basis of this control when the detection is performed periodically for some time in a completely isolated atmosphere. The invention also relates to an installation for performing the method, and to a closable space provided with such an installation.
