An agricultural system includes a plurality of organic devices for controlling weeds in a planted field, the organic devices being positioned between respective adjacent rows of planted matter in a field. Each the organic devices includes a pivotable shaft having an upper end and a lower end, and a weed-control unit attached to the lower end of the pivotable shaft. The weed-control unit includes a rotatable blade for mowing weeds growing between the adjacent rows of the planted matter. The system further includes at least one motor coupled to one or more of the organic devices for driving the rotatable blade of each weed-control unit.

An apparatus for forming a water storage material from a biomass input material using supercritical or subcritical fluid processing, the water storage material capable of absorbing a liquid and releasing the liquid. The apparatus utilizes supercritical fluid processing, subcritical fluid processing, charring, or a combination thereof. The apparatus includes a controller configured to control the apparatus. The apparatus further including a processing station configured to hold the biomass input material, and to use the biomass input material for processing into the water storage material.
