Methods of in vitro clonal propagation, regeneration and transformation in Cannabis are provided. Also provided is the use of such methods in improvements of cannabis cultivars such as via breeding.

Systems and methods of generating water for growing or vitally supporting plants, fungi, and/or aquatic animals are provided herein. The systems include a water generating unit that utilizes process fluid produced by plant transpiration or fungus respiration to generate water. Nutrients may be added to the water through hydroponic and aquaponic systems, then provided back to the plants in a closed loop. The systems may be monitored, optimized, and controlled remotely.

A hydroponic cultivation apparatus, a system and a method for facilitating hydroponic cultivation is disclosed. The hydroponic cultivation apparatus includes a reservoir, a plinth, a grow tray with a grow tray lid, and a docking with coupler. The reservoir, placed upon the plinth, is located at a higher position adjacent to the grow tray for optimizing liquid circulation from the reservoir to the grow tray and vice-versa using one or more pipes, a solenoid valve and a pump. The base further includes a dock coupled to the grow tray for providing an electrical connectivity to the grow tray and simultaneously allowing the liquid to flow through the grow tray without being leaked. Further, the apparatus is having a roof which is provided with sources of illumination for providing light required for plant growth.

The present disclosure relates to a floatable island and to the use of a floatable island, the floatable island comprising at least one layer, and the layer has a structure containing grains, the grains consisting of an expanded mineral material.

An integrated multi-trophic farming process and methods thereof that creates a linkage between aquaculture, hydroponics, agriculture, and algae production. The process and methods enable one skilled in the art of aquaculture, agriculture, hydroponics, and/or algae production to integrate aquaculture practices with their respective industry. The process and methods are applied to freshwater, brackish, and/or saltwater aquaculture production systems. The integrated multi-trophic farming process and methods enable one skilled in the art to produce fish and/or aquatic animals in conjunction with plant and/or algae crops with less consumption of water, feed, and/or fertilizers when compared to conventional open source farming practices such as but not limited to aquaculture, agriculture, and/or algae production.

The invention taught is a method and apparatus to mix a special polymer, hot water or other hot water material containing additives and a special mixture of dry growing substances mixed in a particular way so that they may be applied to structures such as to ceilings, walls, and any grade of vertical slants, commercial roofs, courtyards, indoor and outdoor applications. The purpose is to coat any surface and grow any plant for any reason be it erosion control, beautification of an area. The invention would help in reforestation after fires and such. This invention has a wide range of applications and so it is impossible to limit it to just one of these applications. Green parking lots and green areas that before could not be made green is just one area for the invention

Provided is a tomato plant that satisfies Formula (1) and the application:

6.0≤L/X≤30.0  (1) wherein, in the formula, in a case where the tomato plant does not have a side branch, L represents a length in cm unit from a planting surface to a growth point of a main branch, and X represents a sum of the number of flower clusters and fruit clusters of the main branch, and in a case where the tomato plant has a side branch, L represents a length in cm unit from the planting surface to the growth point of one main branch or side branch, and X represents a sum of the number of flower clusters and fruit clusters of the one main branch or side branch, and where X is an integer of 2 or more.

A vegetable production method includes seeding, causing a cotyledon to sprout from a seed in a first period, growing a vegetable in a second period subsequent to the first period, further growing the vegetable in a third period subsequent to the second period, and harvesting the vegetable. The vegetable is grown with first light having a first maximum value of a light intensity in a wavelength range of 420 to 490 nm and including at least portion of light in a wavelength range of 500 to 600 nm in a later part of the second period, and is grown with second light having a second maximum value of a light intensity in a wavelength range of 590 to 650 nm, having a peak light intensity less than the second maximum value in a visible light wavelength range of less than or equal to 500 nm.
