An agricultural method includes providing a positive air pressure chamber to prevent outside contaminants from entering the chamber; growing crops in a plurality of cells in the chamber, each cell having multi-grow benches or levels, each cell further having connectors to vertical hoists for vertical movements in the chamber; maintaining pre-set temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, watering and lighting levels to achieve predetermined plant growth; using motorized transport rails to deliver benches for operations including seeding, harvesting, grow media recovery, and bench wash; dispensing seeds in the cell with a mechanical seeder coupled to the transport rails; growing the crops with computer controlled nutrients, light and air level; and harvesting the crops and delivering the harvested crop at a selected outlet of the chamber.

Modular precision agriculture system

A modular system includes a hub and a set of modules removably coupled to the hub. The modules are physically coupled to the frame relative to each other so that each module can operate with respect to a different row of a field. An individual module includes a sensor for capturing field measurement data of individual plants along a row as the modular system moves through the geographic region. An individual module further includes a treatment mechanism for applying a treatment to the individual plants of the row based on the field measurement data before the modular system passes by the individual plants. An individual module further includes a computing device that determines the treatment based on the field measurement data and communicates data to the hub. The hub is communicatively coupled to the modules, so that it may exchange data between the modules and with a remote computing system.

METHOD FOR PLANTING SUBMERGED PLANTS
20230148500 · 2023-05-18 ·

A method for planting submerged plants is disclosed. The method includes the steps of selecting a combination of two submerged plants; planting the combination of submerged plants; measuring a biomass and evaluating the biomass. By discussing the influence of planting proportion on the biomass of submerged plant community, the structure of submerged plant community can be optimized, and the success rate of submerged vegetation restoration and reconstruction can be improved by using the positive interaction between plant species. In addition, the submerged plants can improve the surrounding environmental conditions through positive interaction, so that the neighboring species can survive in the previously non-survivable environment, thereby increasing the species diversity of the community and constructing the submerged vegetation community structure; the positive interaction between submerged plants can promote the restoration of submerged vegetation in eutrophic lakes, and has ecological restoration effect on eutrophic waters.
