Embodiment Construction

[0014] As shown in the drawings, one component of the present invention is a cultivation container 10, which provides a limited space for the growth of plant roots. The growing medium can be any commonly used medium, such as a mixture of 80% peat moss and 20% perlite potting soil. The opening 12 on the cultivation container 10 allows excess water in the container to drain out.

[0015] The cultivation container 10 can also be insulated from direct contact with the underlying soil. This can be accomplished by, for example, placing the container 10 on a floor constructed above the underlying soil, placing a piece of plastic or other barrier between the soil and the container, or elevating the container. A preferred method, shown in the figures, is to elevate the container 10 on a base 14 . This not only isolates the container 10 from the soil, but also helps in better drainage.

[0016] By isolating the container 10 from direct contact with the ground, contamination by soil b...

Abstract

A method and components for the hydroponic cultivation of plant materials. The components include confined containers, a confined irrigation / fertigation system, field and plant sensors, a plant support system, and an overcovering structure. Each of these components used singularly or in combination with each other enhances the growth and yield of plant material decreases the associated costs of cultivation, and decreases adverse environmental impacts.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a method of hydroponics and components for such hydroponics, and more particularly to a method of increasing plant yield while reducing associated costs of time, labor, growing space, fertilizer, fumigation, water, etc. and reducing associated Environmental impact methods and components. Background technique [0002] The commercial production of plants and plant material for consumption suffers from difficulties related to the natural botanical properties and the environment in which the plants grow. Proper horticultural practices to reduce these difficulties and maximize plant growth and yield are essential to ensure commercially viable production. [0003] Commercial farms have evolved to grow plants in organized rows. Planting in rows helps simplify planting, fertilizing, pruning, fertilizing, irrigation, maintenance, and harvesting of plants or the food that grows from them. Traditional production pract...
