An apparatus for cultivating plants according an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cabinet forming a cultivation space; a machine room configured to be positioned below the cabinet; a bed configured to be mounted inside the cultivation space; a water tank configured to supply water to the bed; and a drain member configured to be positioned between the cultivation space and the machine room; wherein the bed includes a water collecting portion configured to store water; and a water supply portion configured to supply water to the water collecting portion, wherein an end portion of a water supply pipe configured to supply water from the water tank to the water supply portion is positioned above the water supply portion, and wherein the drain member is positioned below the water supply portion.

A plant processing system includes a mobile cart with a support rail, a rack with a rack rail, and a hanger configured to support one or more plants therefrom. The hanger is hangable from either the support rail or the rack rail. The hanger includes a first end having a hook deigned to engage either the support rail or the rack rail. A second end of the hanger includes a tab having a magnet that engages either the support rail or the rack rail to limit movement of the second end of the hanger. A series of crossbars can be attached to the hanger at select locations along the length of the hanger. Each crossbar is configured to support plants or other items along the length of the hanger.

A propagation system for growing seeds to seedlings, the propagation system comprising: a holding tank configured to be coupled to a water supply; a first plurality of rack docks and a second plurality of rack docks; a central wall disposed between and separating the first plurality of rack docks from the second plurality of rack docks, the central wall comprising water supply infrastructure configured to deliver nutriated water from the holding tank to the first and second plurality of rack docks and water return infrastructure configured to return nutriated water from the first and second plurality of rack docks to the holding tank; one or more pumps operatively coupled to pump nutriated water through the water supply infrastructure and through the water return infrastructure; wherein each rack dock in the first plurality of rack docks and each rack dock in the second plurality of rack docks defines a set of propagation tray locations, each propagation tray location in each set of propagation tray locations including at least one water supply line coupled to the water supply infrastructure and at least one water drain line coupled to the water return infrastructure.

A fertilizer granule containing a core containing, phosphoric acid and an urea adduct containing urea and calcium sulfate, and a coat containing an urease inhibitor and a base, the coat forming a coating on an outer surface of the core. Methods of making and using the fertilizer granule are also disclosed.

A crop production system (100) for a controlled plant growing environment is provided. A subassembly comprises a guide portion that includes passive guides (104, 504, 904, 1004) radiating outward from a central portion (102, 502, 520, 911). Each passive guide may be separated from two adjacent passive guides by respective angles. Each passive guide has a first end proximal to the central portion and a second end distal to the central portion. Each passive guide is configured to guide plant growth modules (210). The plant growth modules are movable between the first end and the second end of each passive guide. An active guide (406, 907, 1007) causes the plant growth modules to travel in a first direction along the passive guides as the active guide is moved.

A dosing station comprises a receiving area for receiving a module and a sampling system for acquiring water from the module, analyzing the water and determining a refill recipe based on one or more parameters of the water. The dosing station includes a nutrient dispenser arranged to dispense at least one nutrient into the module according to the refill recipe. The recipe can be based on the type of plants in the module, the age of the plant and/or the physical condition of the plants. The dosing station can change refill recipes for each module within an agricultural facility based on one or more parameters to optimize the nutrient supply for all plants within the agricultural facility.
