A plant growing tray system, and a method of using the same, the system comprising a growing tray including a plurality of tray insert openings configured to accept tray inserts, a pallet stop, and a transfer catch. The system further comprises a plurality of tray inserts comprising a plurality of tray locking points configured to secure each of the plurality of tray inserts within the plurality of tray insert openings, a vessel cavity to hold a plant vessel, a plurality of fertigation holes on the bottom of the vessel cavity configured to receive fertigation needles, and a plurality of plant vessel securement points configured to secure the plant vessel within the vessel cavity.

Modular systems for propagating plants in at least one of a hydroponic environment and an aquaponics environment may include at least one tank configured to hold liquid. A modular drive assembly may be carried by the at least one tank. At least one propagation module may be drivingly engaged for rotation by the modular drive assembly. The at least one propagation module may be configured to support and propagate at least one plant. At least one pump may be disposed in fluid communication with the at least one tank. The at least one pump configured to pump the liquid from the at least one tank through the at least one propagation module. Modular methods for propagating plants in at least one of a hydroponic environment and an aquaponics environment are also disclosed.

A grow system. The system includes growing plants in grow modules that are individually moveable. The plants grow in trays where roots never touch the water supply. The plumbing to the grow modules is a low flow, one way flow continual drip system that is hands free. A mobile robot can navigate around a growspace, bring any grow module from one location to another, and perform growspace operations. The growspace is a control space with data source zones and a control space manager. The control space manager can collect data and control different variables across different data source zones in order to determine optimal policies and conditions for data source growth and generation.

A grow module, a plant growing system, and methods for using the same are disclosed herein. The grow module comprises a plurality of tray modules including a light tray over a growing tray. The light tray includes a lighting array and at least one sensor. The growing tray is adapted to hold a plurality of plant vessels. The grow module comprises a machine-readable identification. The grow module is configured to hold the plurality of tray modules in a vertically stacked configuration. The lighting array on the light tray is configured to provide light to the plurality of plant vessels on the growing tray in the grow module directly under said light tray.

The present disclosure provides generally for a system and method for planting flora, fauna, and dispersing various organisms through drone delivery. The system may comprise of a drone with seedling box that may hold and drop the pods containing flora or fauna. The seedling box may hold the pods with the flora or fauna in them and at specific intervals drop the pod with the flora or fauna. The seedling box may also hold various organisms or other materials and drop these organisms or materials when directed. A seedling box may comprise loading mechanism and deploying mechanism to facilitate accurate, timely deployment of the pods containing the seedlings. A pod may comprise a weighted tip with hollow cavity for seedling placement and a vertical rod for securing seedling during deployment. Where the system comprises uneven number of seedlings, seedling box may include counterweights to provide stability in configured flight patterns for duration of seedling deployment.

A system including components and electronic modules that together form a transportation and growing system for plants and fungi is provided, the system including at least two components, the components further including one or more of pallets, liquid collectors, posts, rails for trays, and accessories useful for managing use of the trays; and one or more electronic modules, the electronic modules further including one or more of processors, logic systems and/or controllers useful for controlling functionality of the system.

An automated crop production system for controlled environment agriculture that includes a horizontal-to-vertical grow tower interface between a vertical grow structure that includes vertical grow towers and associated conveyance mechanisms for moving the vertical grow towers through a controlled environment, and a processing system that performs one or more processing operations—such as harvesting, cleaning and/or transplanting—on the grow towers in a substantially horizontal orientation. The present disclosure also describes an automated crop production system for controlled environment agriculture that selectively routes grow towers through various processing stages of an automated crop production system.

The present disclosure relates to an automatic seedling taking and separation system for substrate block seedlings. The automatic seedling taking and separation system includes a seedling taking device, a seedling delivery device, and two seedling separation devices; the seedling taking device conveys substrate block seedlings on a seedling tray to the seedling delivery device in rows; the seedling delivery device divides a row of substrate block seedlings into two parts and conveys the substrate block seedlings to the two seedling separation devices; and the seedling separation devices perform single-seedling separation through seedling separation mechanisms. The present disclosure can automatically take and separate vegetable substrate block seedlings, thus improving the working efficiency.

A plant propagation system is provided that includes a holder for holding at least two plants in relative spaced apart relation to enable a predetermined operation (such as, for example, a cutting operation) to be performed on each of the plants within the holder during a single pass.

The plant cultivation equipment performs planting work of seeds or seedlings without taking much labor and without attaching bacteria and includes a packing work room which includes a sterilization activity composition supply device which supplies the packing work room with a predetermined amount of sterilization activity composition which sterilizes the packing work space into which the packing materials are transferred, a sterilization activity composition detecting device provided in the packing work room and detecting the concentration of the sterilization activity composition, an exhaust device which discharges the sterilization activity composition from the packing work room and an outside air supply device which supplies the packing work room with the outside air through filter, capable of catching the sterilization activity composition, when the sterilization activity composition is discharged.
