A horticultural smudging system and method for improving the growth and/or production of plants. Combustible material is burnt within a thermal container, and the resulting flue gas containing negative ions and carbon dioxide is propelled onto one or more plants. The smudging system and method may use one or more sensors to detect oxygen, air pressure, and flue gas levels within the thermal container to adjust air intake and the release of flue gas.

Various embodiments of the present technology provide methods and systems for soil enrichment. The systems may comprise a bioreactor system coupled to an initial treatment system for the cultivation of a live microorganism culture containing organic nutrients on an agriculturally effective scale. The systems may be automated and/or portable for practical applications onto target fields. The live microorganism culture may be delivered onto the soil of the target fields, enriching the soil with the organic nutrients that become bioavailable to crops growing in the soil. The soil enrichment system may provide a sustainable approach to agriculture that may efficiently enhance the natural processes of the native soil of any crop.

To stabilize and improve efficiency of continuous flowering while eliminating season dependency in strawberry cultivation. First, a strawberry seed is germinated by controlling an environment adjusting device installed in a closed environment so as to achieve a first cultivation environment suitable for germination of strawberry. Next, a strawberry seedling germinated is grown by controlling the environment adjusting device so as to achieve a second cultivation environment suitable for growing strawberry seedling. Next, the strawberry seedling is further grown to cause a terminal flower cluster to flower by controlling the environment adjusting device so as to achieve a third cultivation environment suitable for flowering of the terminal flower cluster. Then, first and subsequent axillary flower clusters are caused to successively flower by controlling the environment adjusting device so as to achieve a fourth cultivation environment suitable for flowering of the first and subsequent axillary flower clusters.

A combined power conversion and carbon capture and recycling subsystem including a fossil fueled oxidation unit, a physical adsorbent CO2 capture medium, rotor, motor, heater, CO2 compressor, diffuser and water storage tank. Exhaust gas from fossil fuel oxidation is scrubbed of CO2 via passage across a physical adsorbent and then released from the adsorbent via fuel oxidation waste heat. High CO2 concentration scrubber exhaust air is then compressed and fed to a diffuser which facilitates dissociation of the CO2 into water where it is temporarily stored for use in watering plants. Carbon from fossil fuel is recycled back into the environment and permanently stored as biomass by natural means of photosynthesis.
