The embodied invention is a framework and expanding cover for a crop row that is designed to provide an enhanced crop growing environment. The framework design utilizes a top and bottom cover with affordable materials that are suitable for large scale production. The design also includes an irrigation, fertilizer, and CO.sub.2 injection system that provide an enhanced environment for plants to grow. The entire system is reducible to a small package to better facilitate use in a broad variety of environmental and personal situations.

A control system for a canopy to treat plants is disclosed. In one implementation according to examples of the present disclosure, a method comprises receiving a treatment temperature from a user device. The method further comprises flowing a fluid from a hot fluid generating system to a canopy. The method further comprises selectively enabling and disabling a fluid flow from the hot fluid generating system to the canopy to maintain the treatment temperature within the canopy.

The grounded modular heated cover is disclosed with a first pliable outer layer and a second pliable outer layer, wherein the outer layers provide durable protection, an electrical heating element between the first and the second outer layers, the electrical heating element configured to convert electrical energy to heat energy, a heat spreading layer, and a thermal insulation layer positioned above the active electrical heating element. Beneficially, such a device provides radiant heat, weather isolation, temperature insulation, and solar heat absorption efficiently and cost effectively. The modular heated cover quickly and efficiently removes ice, snow, and frost from surfaces, and penetrates soil and other material to thaw the material to a suitable depth. A plurality of modular heated covers can be connected on a single 120 Volt circuit protected by a 20 Amp breaker. The modular heated covers are grounded for safety using the conductive heat spreading layer.

A method and a system for increasing the degree days in the immediate environment of fruit bearing vines for the cultivation of particular fruit bearing vines, such as non-rustic vinifera variety vines, in unfavourable climatic regions where the degree days is insufficient for the full maturity of the fruit, is described. Rows of the vines are protected in removable shelters which have a removable tarp cover disposed over a support frame structure to shield the rows of vines from the harsh, vine damaging, winter month temperatures while keeping the vines in a controlled temperature environment. Heated liquid circulation conduits are supported in the shelters at predetermined locations and provide controlled heat during the winter months to prevent the vines and the cordon bearing spuds of the vines from damaging cold temperatures. In the early spring the roots are activated early and the tarp is removed and a transparent film sheet covering is substituted to admit sunlight to help activate the vine early to gain degree days. The method and system is also applicable to semi-rustic or rustic wine producing grape vines grown in these climatic regions having degree days down to about 1200.

An electronic cigarette and a method for supplying a constant power therein, the electronic cigarette comprises an atomizer with a heating wire. The electronic cigarette also comprises a power supply module for supplying power to the heating wire to heat the heating wire, and further comprises a microprocessor, a detecting module connected to the microprocessor, and a voltage adjusting module. A preset constant power can supply to the heating wire of the atomizer in the electronic cigarette, so that a consistent heating power can be applied to each of the electronic cigarettes produced in batch production, and smoke amount and flavor of each of the electronic cigarettes are more consistent, thereby better meeting demands of consumers.

An irrigation system is disclosed, which includes a pressurized fluid source having at least one fluid output line, and a plurality of fluid lines coupled to the at least one fluid output line. Here, each of the fluid lines comprise an injectable nozzle configured to inject fluid into an outer xylem layer of a dicotyledon plant, and the pressurized fluid source maintains a pressure level that facilitates the injection of fluid via a transpiration of the dicotyledon plant. A method and computer-readable storage medium are also disclosed, which facilitate various acts. The method facilitates maintaining a pressure level at the pressurized fluid source, and injecting the injectable nozzle into the outer xylem layer of the dicotyledon plant. The computer-readable storage medium facilitates maintaining the pressure level at the pressurized fluid source, monitoring a characteristic associated with the injection of fluid, and communicating the monitored characteristic to a remote entity.
