The presently disclosed subject matter refers to agro-photovoltaic modules (at times also referred to as agri voltaic modules) designed to increase the productivity use of available area. The agro-photovoltaic module can enable agricultural growth and the production of energy, e.g. by using photovoltaic cell(s), while using the same area (land space, lake, rooftop, etc.), therefore the agro-photovoltaic module can offer a good solution for this issue. This may help overcome legislations/rules in different countries, for example, where land can not be used solely for solar energy cultivation and must be integrated with agricultural purposes. The produced photovoltaic energy is either being used by components of the module or directed to an external electric power system.

A system for the fertigation of a plant vessel and method of use for the same is disclosed. The system comprises a grow module containing a plurality of growing trays additionally containing plants, and/or shoots of plants in various stages of development. The growing trays are individually extracted from the grow module via a tray movement system and tray elevator controlled by a control system and precisely placed in a fertigation system, wherein they are aligned over and lowered onto an at least one nozzle which penetrate the plant vessels containing the plants and fertigate them with a combination of water, nutrients, and/or pressurized air. The individual growing tray is then replaced in the grow module and the process is repeated for all growing trays and plant vessels in the grow module.

An apparatus for housing botanicals during transport is disclosed. The apparatus may be configured to convert to a display assembly for the botanicals. The apparatus may include: a covering component having a primary opening on one end and a permeable structure on a second end; a sleeve component having a support structure on one end and a receiving opening on a second end, the sleeve component being configured to be partially inserted into the covering component; a holding component having a secondary opening at one end and a water-tight chamber wall at the other end, the holding component being configured to be partially inserted into the sleeve component, such that the secondary opening is positioned within the sleeve component; in order facilitate converting the apparatus into a display assembly, the covering component is removed from the sleeve component and the holding component is inserted into the covering component.

A plant support structure for accommodating plants is described. The plant support structure includes a framework in a vertically extending arrangement forming a plurality of geometric blocks and vertically extending channels formed at a periphery of the geometric blocks. The channels are configured to receive therein a porous material for carrying water from a top end of the plant support structure down the channels for irrigating plants in the channels. A system for accommodating and maintaining plants includes the plant support structure.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for cultivating plants, the apparatus includes a cabinet having a cultivation space; a door opening and closing the cultivation space; a cultivation shelf disposed inside the cultivation space and on which a seed package containing plants for cultivation is seated; a lighting device for radiating light to the cultivation shelf; a water tank provided inside the cultivation space and storing water; and a water supply pipe supplying water from the water tank to the cultivation shelf.

A nursery rack that is used to ship plants is often necessary for growers and retailers to easily and quickly move large amounts of plants. The device will be equipped with a plurality of removable shelves that will rest on a plurality of hooks made for that purpose. The user can decide how many shelves and the distance between the shelves depending on the particular use that is anticipated. The device provides a means to lift the device using a forklift or palletjack.

The invention taught is a method and apparatus to mix a special polymer, hot water or other hot water material containing additives and a special mixture of dry growing substances mixed in a particular way so that they may be applied to structures such as to ceilings, walls, and any grade of vertical slants, commercial roofs, courtyards, indoor and outdoor applications. The purpose is to coat any surface and grow any plant for any reason be it erosion control, beautification of an area. The invention would help in reforestation after fires and such. This invention has a wide range of applications and so it is impossible to limit it to just one of these applications. Green parking lots and green areas that before could not be made green is just one area for the invention

An air purifier may have a casing defining a support to receive a substrate of a plant, an artificial plant and/or a removable pot. The casing forms a chamber, an outer wall of the casing defining one or more air inlets, and one or more air outlets. An air filter(s) is housed in the chamber. A fan os housed within the chamber. A motor is operable to drive the fan, whereby the fan is operable to draw in air through one or more air inlets in the casing and through the air filter, the fan further operable to expel the drawn-in air through the one or more air outlets in the casing.
