    Abstract: Provided is a liquid supply apparatus which is capable of directly taking in a liquid from a flow channel and appropriately mixing a gas into the liquid when generating-nanobubbles in the liquid using an ultrafine bubble generating apparatus. The liquid supply apparatus comprises a flow channel for a liquid supplied from a liquid supply source and an ultrafine bubble generating apparatus for generating nanobubbles in the liquid. The ultrafine bubble generating apparatus is provided with: a liquid ejector for ejecting the liquid taken in from the flow channel; a gas mixer for pressurizing and mixing a gas into the liquid ejected from the liquid ejector; and a nanobubble-generating nozzle for generating nanobubbles in the liquid by passing the liquid with intermixed gas therethrough. The pressure of the liquid in the flow channel flowing into the liquid ejector from the upstream-side of the liquid ejector is a positive pressure and, between the liquid ejector and the-nanobubble-generating nozzle, the gas mixer pressurizes and mixes the gas into the liquid, which is flowing in a pressurized state toward the nanobubble-generating nozzle.

    Abstract: A mobile crop monitoring and treatment system includes a vehicle with a propulsion system and multiple sensors mounted on the vehicle. Each sensor is configured to capture data pertaining to at least one plant-related parameter when the sensor is positioned proximate to a plant in a crop. The system also includes a storage system configured to house multiple treatment agents, including at least one chemical pesticide and at least one biological control agent, on-board the vehicle. The system further includes an application system configured to apply one or more of the treatment agents to the plant. In addition, the system includes a controller configured to control movement of the vehicle and operation of the sensors and application system. The controller is configured to cause the application system to apply one or more treatment agents to the plant in response to one or more signals from one or more sensors.
