A gutter system for use in a hydroponic system for cultivating a crop includes a gutter and an upper surface. Arranged in the upper surface are a plurality of openings which are mutually separated in a longitudinal direction of the gutter, such that the gutter forms a channel in which substrates for having crop units of the crop grow therein are placeable via the openings. The upper surface is provided at the position of each of the plurality of openings with a flange which extends substantially perpendicularly relative to the upper surface from an edge of the opening and as such forms a stop for a respective substrate of the substrates.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for mass cultivation of plants, which enables plants to be cultivated in the entire area of a greenhouse when the plants are cultivated in the greenhouse, thus enabling mass production of plants. The apparatus for mass cultivation of plants according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a driving means installed in the truss, which horizontally crosses the upper portion of the greenhouse; a movable member arranged below the truss such that the moving direction of the movable member changes according to the driving direction of the driving means; multiple elevating members arranged at predetermined spaces beneath the truss such that a right part of the elevating member descends when a left part of the elevating member ascends and the right part of the elevating member ascends when the left part of the elevating member descends according to the moving direction of the movable member; and multiple cultivation gutters hanging from the respective left ends and right ends of the elevating members.

A soilless system for high density plant growth includes a greenhouse structure; at least one elongate support member arranged substantially vertically in the greenhouse structure, the support member having a body having a flow channel defined therein; and a plurality of vertically spaced apart receptacles angularly disposed to the vertical axis of the body to receive a plant therein, the receptacles being in fluid communication with the flow channel; a fluid supply system in fluid communication with the flow channel to supply a fluid stream to the flow channel; and a fluid collection system to collect residual fluid that has flowed through the flow channel.

A cover member for an in-store greenhouse is disclosed, with which radiation exiting the in-store greenhouse can be influenced or modified.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method of autonomous Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) comprising a fully autonomous Growing environment. More specifically, disclosed herein is an apparatus and method in which a plurality of Tray assembly may be stored and manipulated within a Track assembly that is configured within a Rack Assembly through the motivational input of at least one antagonistic pair of Carriage-mounted manipulators. With the Template Frame consisting of a low friction bearing surface to orient within a Track assembly, it may be configured to satisfy various utilities necessary within the farm, such as but not limited to: housing grow media for the cultivation

Hydroponic system for cultivating a crop, comprising a guide for guiding a plurality of carriers in a predetermined area, and wherein the guide is configured to guide the carriers in a first direction which extends from a first edge to a second edge of the area, wherein each carrier is configured to carry at least two parallel gutters, and wherein at least one of the at least two gutters is removable from the carrier, and wherein each gutter is configured to contain a plurality of crop units of the crop.

The present disclosure provides a multilayered polymeric film for covering an agricultural structure or greenhouse, wherein the film contains adjacent layers that are capable of delamination from one another.

A cover member for an in-store greenhouse is disclosed, with which radiation exiting the in-store greenhouse can be influenced or modified, so that outgoing total radiation has a white color on the Planck curve.
