Methods and apparatus for determining when plants require watering, and methods of attending to the watering of plants including signaling the grower that the plants are in need of hydration are provided. The novel methods include real-time measurement of plant metabolics and phytometric physiology changes of intrinsic physical or behavioral traits within the plant such as determining physiological flux measurement of enzyme flux due to environmental changes such as the wind and drought stress, soil and plant mineral deficiencies, or the interaction with a bio-control for organic disease control including, cell movement, signal transduction, internal chemical processes and external environmental processes including when plants require watering, and methods of attending to the watering of plants including signaling the grower that the plants are in need of hydration.

A method and apparatus for metabolism manipulation of life forms using spectral output which comprises at least one array of LED light sources which have metabolic manipulating spectral emissions. The array sends one or more environmental signals selected from the group consisting of day / night cycles, seasonal cycles, competitive signals and harsh condition preparedness. A remotely programmable microcontroller is operatively connected to the at least one array for controlling the spectral emissions in a desired manner. The microcontroller selectively sending on commands, off commands and intensity commands to the at least one array. The method and apparatus include software for driving the microcontroller and the software is stored in a memory. A power source is operatively connected to the at least one array of LED light sources, and a graphic user interface facilitates inputting information, by an operator.

The invention provides an artificial wetland processing system constructed by ecological bags, which comprises a collecting tank, a wetland tank and a delivery tank, partition walls at the bottoms of the tanks, partition walls on the peripheries of the tanks, and partition walls among the tanks are constructed by the ecological bags; when the partition walls on the peripheries of the tanks and the partition walls among the tanks are piled up, the ecological bags on the same layer and among the bag layers are connected integrally by project connection buckles; a natural soil layer is arranged at the bottom of the wetland tank; emergent aquatic plants are planted on the natural soil layer; submerged plants are planted on the ecological bags at the underwater parts of the four walls of the wetland tank; terrestrial plants are planted on the ecological bags at the overwater parts; buoyant rafts are arranged on the water surface; buoyant raft aquatic plants are planted on the buoyant rafts. The artificial wetland processing system carries out the purification treatment on sewage through multiple effects of sedimentation, filtration, chemical precipitation, adsorption, decomposition, microbial metabolism, plant metabolism, plant root systems and the like, has the advantages of stereoscopic repair, high efficiency, no limitation from the field, environment protection and low carbon, convenience for construction, installation, maintenance and management, cost saving, and wide application prospect.

This invention relates to polar molecule complex fertilizer additive. Humic acids ammonium, bean cake, amino acid powder, seaweed meal, potassium citrate, nitrogen fixation catalyst and plant growth regulator are mixed uniformly as certain ratio, pulverizer is used to crash particle to granularity 80-100 items, then they are filled into woven bag with plastic bag in. this invention can improve plant photosynthesis, improve sugar content in crop product, improve soil and soil environment, active soil and increase fertilizer efficiency. Plant metabolism is improved, output is increased and quality is improved, plant vital activity is adjusted. It can eliminate harmful function of heavy metal ion to soil and crops. The protein in the product has adjusting and catalysis function, it can eliminate bad affection of chlorine ion in chlorine contain complex fertilizer to crops.

The invention belongs to the technical field of planting of the root of red-rooted salvia, and particularly relates to a planting method for improving the medicinal value of the root of red-rooted salvia. The method comprises the steps of 1, soil fertilization treatment and greenhouse building before seed sowing, wherein the soil biological activity is effectively improved, soil is fertilized, soil bacterium breeding and insect damage are effectively restrained, robust growth of rhizomes is promoted, the nutrient absorbing capability of the root system is enhanced, and the high yield is effectively promoted; 2, seed treatment before seed sowing and seed sowing, wherein the cell viability is effectively improved, the sprouting emergence rate and the seedling strengthening rate are increased, and the good foundation is laid for high yield and high quality; 3, field management after seed sowing, wherein accumulation of soluble sugar and starch is promoted, growth and secretion of the rootsystem are promoted, the enzymatic activity of the root of red-rooted salvia is improved, the plant metabolism intensity is stimulated to be improved, synthesis and accumulation of active pharmaceutical ingredients are effectively promoted, the contents of rosmarinic acid, danshinolic acid B, cryptotanshinone and tanshinone II A can be effectively increased, and the medicinal value is greatly improved.
