Methods and systems are disclosed configured to control the planting, application of pesticides, and harvesting of greenhouse crops, such as herbs. The greenhouse may include a variety of sensors, such as moisture sensors, ph sensors, and/or CO2 sensors. Unmanned vehicles may be utilized to capture crop images, and a learning engine may be used to determine the size of greenhouse crops. Such sensor data may be used to predict crop availability. A predication engine may be utilized to predict demand for greenhouse crops using current and historical orders for greenhouse crops. Greenhouse crop production instructions may be generated and transmitted to a greenhouse computer system to cause crops to be sown or harvested. Pallet loading instructions may be generated regarding the loading of specified quantities of crop packs on respective pallets for shipment to a destination.

In a device a crop is cultivated in an at least substantially daylight-free environment, wherein the crop is exposed in an at least substantially fully conditioned cultivation space (10) to actinic artificial light from an array of artificial light sources (30) present in the cultivation space. During a cultivation cycle a power output of the artificial light sources (30) is adapted to an energy absorption of a part of the crop (50) illuminated thereby such that the crop close to each of the array of artificial light sources is subject to an at least substantially constant and at least substantially mutually equal vapour deficit.

Systems and methods disclosed herein include a method of illuminating plants in an indoor farming environment, including illuminating one or more plants using one or more lighting fixtures at a light intensity of approximately 1500 μmol/m.sup.2/s during a daytime period, wherein each lighting fixtures comprises one or more LEDs, determining whether a daytime temperature of the indoor farming environment is within a daytime temperature range, adjusting the daytime temperature to be within the daytime temperature range in response to determining that the daytime temperature of the indoor farming environment is outside of the daytime temperature range, determining whether a daytime humidity of the indoor farming environment is within a daytime humidity range, and adjusting the daytime humidity to be within the daytime humidity range in response to determining that the daytime humidity of the indoor farming environment is outside of the daytime humidity range.

A planting structure includes a trough and a plurality of lateral covers. The trough has a hollow space and a planting space, and a canal is formed inside of the trough; the lateral covers cover a lateral side of the trough and seals off the planting space. The inner walls on the two sides have bottom ends thereof integrally extended to form the canal therebetween. In addition, the planting structure possesses features such as being light in weight, easy to assemble and operate, and can be used to effectively lower production costs by modifying the length and the arrangement mode of the structure according to requirements.

A system for lighting a plant comprising a dome/cage defining a volume that receives, surrounds and covers the plant. A plurality of light sources are supported by the dome/cage and distributed vertically from a bottom to a top and around the dome/cage to illuminate the plant evenly. The system is adapted to control the light sources to project light in the dark, extend ambient light hours, increase an intensity of an existing light; and modify a spectrum of the existing light in accordance with growth requirements specific to a given plant growing in a specific environment. A solar panel may be connected to the lights directly or through a battery for operating the system as a standalone unit. A control unit may be provided to receive a user input setting a lighting program, to allow the system to control operation of the lights using the set program.

Described herein are methods of producing plant products and plant production facilities equipped to produce the same on a large-scale. The methods and facilities provide for sprouting directly on a solid growing surface with embedded temperature control, which maximizes independent control of each batch of sprouts or plant products. The embedded temperature control system generally comprises one or more heat transfer conduits for flowing a heat transfer fluid therethrough. A seed spreader device may be used to deposit a bed of plant seeds at a substantially uniform height across the growing surfaces. Advantageously, the simplified design is more cost-effective and can be easily understood, used, and repaired by the average farmer or livestock operator.

A spraying and re-heating vapor reactor includes: a heat preservation boiler; a vapor reaction boiler disposed in the heat preservation boiler; a re-heating conduit communicating the vapor reaction boiler with a device outside the heat preservation boiler, a high heat capacity material being accommodated within the heat preservation boiler, and surrounding the vapor reaction boiler and the re-heating conduit; a heater heating the high heat capacity material; a sprayer disposed in the vapor reaction boiler; and a liquid supplying tube communicating with the sprayer through structure walls of the heat preservation boiler and the vapor reaction boiler, and supplying an external liquid to the sprayer. The sprayer atomizes the external liquid into an atomized liquid absorbing thermal energy from the high heat capacity material and becomes a low-temperature vapor entering the re-heating conduit and being re-heated into a high-temperature vapor. A generator apparatus is also provided.

Self-supporting inflatable grow tents include a base surface, a top surface, and a plurality of sidewalls. The sidewalls include an integrated lighting system. The inflatable grow tents include a plurality of support members configured to structurally support the grow tent when inflated, and an air circulation assembly including an air blower and a carbon filter. The grow tents include a lighting system configured to provide a standard deviation of average photosynthetic active radiation that is from about 2 to about 8 within the grow tent when the lighting system is active.

The present invention relates to the technical field of lighting for plant, and in particular, provides a multi-reflection panel lamp. The multi-reflection panel lamp includes a fixing frame, a plurality of panel lamps, and a plurality of reflectors. The plurality of panel lamps are embedded in the fixing frame parallel to each other. The reflectors and the panel lamps are parallelly disposed on the fixing frame. Compared to other panel lamps, in the present invention, reflectors are disposed between panel lamps to reflect, a plurality of times by using a multi-refraction mechanism of the reflectors of the panel lamps, rays of light emitted by the panel lamps, so that plants are irradiated with the rays of light at various angles, thereby improving lighting intensity and uniformity and ensuring normal growth of the plants.

A method of monitoring at least one aspect in a vegetation wall system and an apparatus for doing the same. The method comprising measuring, by a sensor, a first component and a second component in the vegetation wall system; determining, by a processor, a change in the at least one aspect based on: the first component, the second component, and an amount of time between the measurement of the first component and the second component; determining whether the change in at least one aspect is outside a threshold range; and in response to determining the change in the at least one aspect is outside the threshold range, determining an anomalous condition exists.
