摘要： The present invention relates to a method for distributing particulate material in a target area. The method comprises the steps of (i) providing in a reservoir particulate material comprising particles to be distributed in a target area, which reservoir is provided with exits, (ii) providing a gas displacer, (iii) generating with the gas displacer a forced gas flow in the blow direction, and iv) directing the particles from the exits in the forced gas flow. The invention further relates to a device for performing the method according to the invention. Further aspects of the invention relate to the use of the device for distributing particulate material, a gas flow modification device, the use of such modification device for modifying the gas flow in a device for distributing particulate material and a kit of parts comprising (a) the gas flow modification device and (b) a device for distributing particulate material.

摘要： A method of selecting a treatment recommendation to improve sustainable farming of a field includes obtaining soil from the field and measuring biologic content in the soil. The biologic content is used to determine an ability of the soil to sequester a greenhouse gas and the ability of the soil to sequester the greenhouse gas is used to select a treatment recommendation to increase the ability of the soil to sequester the greenhouse gas.

摘要： A central-loadbearing greenhouse includes a first column system, a second column system, at least one intermediate column system, a plurality of roof supports, and a transparent solar roof. The first column system and the second column system are diametrically opposed to each other about the intermediate column system. A fixed end for the first column system, the intermediate column system, and the second column system are linearly mounted offset of each other. The plurality of roof supports is linearly extended from the first column system to the second column system. The plurality of roof supports is evenly distributed across an elevated end of the first column system, the intermediate column system, and the second column system. The plurality of roof supports is adjacently mounted onto the first column system, the intermediate column system, and the second column system. The transparent solar roof is mounted to the plurality of roof supports.

摘要： Techniques and systems are used to operate a fully automated vertical greenhouse for low-cost and sustainable production of local produce. The system includes robotic configurations that seed, propagate, transplant, water, and harvest plants, such as leafy greens and herbs, autonomously without direct human intervention. The system may manage and control a process for sprouting seeds, which is the beginning of a plant life cycle and is initiated by first watering. The system may manage and control a process for moving plants from sprouting growing conditions to adult growing conditions, which further include delivery of nutrient rich water to the adult plants. The system may also manage and control a process for gathering and sorting of mature plants (e.g., crops), which may be automatically prepared and sorted for delivery to retail locations.
