The present invention provides a multipurpose plant growing apparatus, comprising a base having a nutrient solution cavity at its bottom and an LED illuminating device arranged above the base, wherein the base comprises a planting plate capping on the top of the nutrient solution cavity and providing with planting holes, a cup lid capable of abutting on the surface of the plate around the planting hole, and a culturing cup and a planting basket capable of being mounted on the cup lid and extending into the nutrient solution cavity. During using, the culturing cup (14) or the planting basket (13) can be connected to the cup lid (12). The multipurpose plant growing apparatus effectively solves the problem that existing growing apparatus are merely applicable to one single type of plants relative to various types of plants and makes it possible to grow different types of plants by the growing apparatus.

A method and system for supporting containerized plants in an upright and stationary position and at customizable, uniform spacing therebetween. The system comprises a frame, pockets, stabilizers positioned within the pockets and spacers. The pockets, stabilizers and spacers provide both horizontal and vertical support to each containerized plant, holding it securely in place without stakes or cables. The pockets with stabilizers and the spacers may be arranged in various patterns to promote stability of the system and health of the containerized plants. An irrigation system may be coupled to the system for maintaining and nourishing plants. The length of the frame is greater than the width, thus creating a stable environment to combat winds and disruptive forces. Individual frames may be attached to form designated and defined uniform growing or display areas and provide greater stability.

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the cultivation-, packaging-, and shipping of plugs, containing a seed or seedling and a substrate. In particular, a holder (10) is contrived having one or multiple cavities (11) in which a plug can be placed, together with one or multiple removal slits (12). Furthermore, a packaging tray (30) is contrived, having engaging means (32) and a perforated foil, to be used in unison with a particular holder for shipping that particular holder to a retailer or a customer. The holder could be placeable in both a cultivation tray (80) and a packaging tray (30).

Disclosed a plant cultivation system including: a replaceable cultivation box including a housing, and identification information of the cultivation box, and an electronic device configured to acquire the identification information from the cultivation box, detect state information about an inside of the cultivation box or around the cultivation box using a sensor, and spray liquid into the cultivation box based on the identification information and the state information.

A hydroponic grow system is provided. The system includes at least one rack that holds one or more trays. Each tray includes an inlet and an outlet through which the tray receives a nutrient solution and returns the nutrient solution to a reservoir. The inlet and outlet of each tray is connected to the reservoir using connectors that can be easily removed or attached to the tray. This allows each tray to be easily removed from the rack for purposes of harvesting and cleaning. In addition, the grow system may include one or more conveyor tables that allow the trays to be easily transported from the racks to another location for harvesting.

Tray assemblies organized in a vertical stack with a grow light positioned above each. Plant nutrient solution flows into a feed reservoir positioned in a first end of the top assembly. When plant nutrient solution reaches the level of outlets positioned in a sidewall of the feed reservoir, it flows into longitudinal channels positioned on the tray assembly. A collection reservoir at a second end of the tray assembly collects excess solution from the channels. A lip positioned between the channels and the collection reservoir retains some of the solution in the channels so it is available to plants held by the tray assembly. Excess solution flows from the collection reservoir of the top tray assembly to a feed reservoir serving the next tray assembly in the stack. The pattern is repeated while alternating the orientation of each tray assembly such that solution is provided to each tray assembly.

A packaging bag as an agricultural container has a film which forms a partition separating a housing space which houses agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables from an external space. The packaging bag includes a CA film and a porous film. The CA film contains cellulose acylate having an acyl group substitution degree of 2.00 to 2.97. The porous film is formed such that a plurality of pores having an average pore size of 0.0050 m to 5.0 m penetrate the film in a thickness direction.

An artificially intelligent harvest and reuse system for planting vegetables has a first mechanic arm moving a plurality of planting plates around a first conveyor, a second conveyor, a first shelf and a second shelf. The planting plates are sent to a connecting conveyor for the grown vegetables thereon to be picked up by a second mechanic arm and further sent to a root cutting apparatus then to a packaging apparatus, while the empty planting plates are further sent to an exit end of the first conveyor and a third mechanic arm places nursery foams with sprouts from a storage area onto the empty planting plates. Then the refilled planting plates are sent back to the corresponding shelf via the second conveyor and placed back into the corresponding layers neatly by the first mechanic arm on a first distributing apparatus.

Product holder assembly (1) for a mobile cultivation of plants along a path in a hall, comprising: a product holder (100) having a bottom (110) and an upstanding circumferential wall (120) extending from the bottom, a first space (101) extending from the bottom of the product holder (100) along the wall to allow a medium or substrate for roots of the plants to receive nutriments and/or support from, a grid system (500) arranged to be placed on the product holder (100) to cover the first space (101) in the product holder (100) and to separate the first space from a second space (102) adjacent to the grid system (500) at a side of the grid system facing away from the first space (101), wherein the grid system (500) is arranged for holding a plurality of separate plants (30), the roots (31) of which to reach for the first space (101) and the leafs (32) of which to reach for the second space (102), wherein the grid system (500) is arranged to operate in conjunction with an air duct system (800).

A growing system and/or plant support structure may include one or more feet supporting at least one or more uprights, on which a plurality of plants and/or grow boards for growing plants may be positioned. A nutrient delivery system may be positioned between opposing uprights to provide nutrient supply to a root zone of plants, which nutrient delivery system may be positioned adjacent each opposing upright in an interior chamber of the plant support structure. A light system may be positioned between two adjacent plant support structures such that it simultaneously provides light to the exterior surface of the two plant support structures. A collapsible light may be positioned adjacent plants and plant support structures for improved access to the plants or plant support structures while allowing variable and controllable light distribution beneficial to control of adjacent plants and plant structures.
