A rooting agent for woody plants cutting includes raw materials of: sodium naphthalene-1-acetate, naphthalene acetamide, catechol, vitamin C, oxadixyl-mancozeb, boric acid, white sugar and urea. The rooting agent of the present invention contains various beneficial substances and rich nutrients and is easy absorbing. The rooting agent is capable of effectively improving rooting rate of woody plants cutting, and plants which are difficult to root has a high rooting rate after applying the rooting agent.

A wireless system is provided for monitoring environmental, soil, or climate conditions and/or controlling irrigation or climate control systems at an agricultural or landscape site. In some embodiments, the wireless system includes at least one wireless nodes for monitoring environmental, soil, or climate conditions and/or for controlling one or more irrigation or climate control systems at the site. The wireless system also includes a server computer system located remotely from the site. The server computer system is coupled to the node/s over a communications network for receiving data from and controlling operation of the node/s. The server computer system is also coupled to a device operated by an end-user over a communications network for transmitting the data to and receiving remote control commands or queries from the end-user.

Described herein are systems and methods for capturing images of a field and performing agricultural data analysis of the images. In one embodiment, a computer system for monitoring field operations includes a database for storing agricultural image data including images of at least one stage of crop development that are captured with at least one of an apparatus and a remote sensor moving through a field. The computer includes at least one processing unit that is coupled to the database. The at least one processing unit is configured to execute instructions to analyze the captured images, to determine relevant images that indicate a change in at least one condition of the crop development, and to generate a localized view map layer for viewing the field at the at least one stage of crop development based on at least the relevant captured images.

The present disclosure relates to an onion growing method, and more particularly, to an onion growing method that includes the steps of: (a) allowing onions to be dormant; (b) breaking the dormancy of the onions; (c) planting the onions of which dormancy is broken in a field; (d) growing the planted onions to produce a plurality of stems and bulbs divided from the respective onions; and (e) harvesting the plurality of stems and bulbs. According to the present disclosure, the onion growing method does not have any limitation in growth time unlike a conventional onion growing method, reduces a period of growth, and drastically increasing onion yield to raise a farmer's profits. Also, the onion growing method stably supplies onion stems and leaves, thereby providing various profits through onions.

Provided is a system (1) and method for identifying one or more plants in a population of two or more plants (4). The method includes monitoring one or more parameters of a plant (4) of the population and generating one or more time signals indicative of values of the one or more parameters. The signals are processed to calculate one or both of a transpiration rate of each plant and a rate of change of a transpiration rate over each of one or more time intervals. The plants are then ranked using an algorithm involving the calculated transpiration rates, and plants having a ranking above a predetermined ranking are identified. Further provided is a system for carrying out the method of the invention.

An apparatus for continuous growth and production of a product substance. The apparatus may comprise an input unit for receiving at least one starting material, wherein the starting material is one of at least an aquatic organism; a growing unit for continuous aquatic growth of the at least one starting material to produce at least a culture; a buffering unit for accumulating and upholding at least a portion of the culture grown in the growing unit, wherein the buffering unit is configured to balance between demand and supply of a product substance produced by the apparatus; a nozzle for delivery of a demanded fraction of the upheld portion of the culture as the product substance; and a control unit connected to the input unit, the growing unit, the buffering unit and configured to control the operation of the apparatus.

Systems, techniques, and devices for detecting plant biometrics, for example, plants in a crop field. An imaging device of an unmanned vehicle may be used to generate a plurality of images of the plants, and the plurality of images may be used to generate a 3D model of the plants. The 3D model may define locations and orientations of leaves and stems of plants. The 3D model may be used to determine at least one biometric parameter of at least one plant in the crop. Such detection of plant biometrics may facilitate the automation of crop monitoring and treatment.
