An apparatus and method for training a grape vine. The apparatus is a linear grid composed of transverse and longitudinal elements that are configured to result in a network of spaces that are sized to substantially provide a separate space for each vine shoot. The apparatus is mobile within the vine canopy serving various functions as the growing season progresses. The mobility of the grid apparatus allows repositioning throughout the growing season while still retaining the shoots within the grid openings.

A cultivation method of coffee tree by red ginseng powdered extract is provided, and particularly provided is a cultivation method of coffee tree through environment-friendly and rest (artificial dormant period) process using a red ginseng, and drink composition and food additive manufactured by the cultivation method of coffee tree by red ginseng, the method including: supplying red ginseng powdered extract aqueous solution to coffee seeds; and adjusting moisture of soil planted with coffee seeds. The cultivation method of coffee tree by red ginseng powdered extract has an advantageous effect in that coffee beans can be harvested having, as active ingredient, ginsenoside of high internal absorption rate capable of preventing occurrences of infectious diseases and pests by increasing immunity levels of coffee trees without using chemical fertilizers at all, and by enhancing germination percent of coffee seeds and coffee bean crops. The method has another advantageous effect of providing a drink composition and a food additive containing, as active ingredient, a coffee bean extract including ginsenoside of high internal absorption rate.

A method for growing grapevines in a root inhibiting vessel permanently planted in previously existing solid waste landfill mounds is disclosed. The vessel or container is a porous polymeric bag or fabric sleeve liner closely received in the container. A fabric disc is positioned in the bottom of an excavated hole in the cover layer of a landfill. The fabric liner is needle-punched to create a rough surface capable of trapping the roots of the growing grapevine and direct the roots into the side of the container such that the apical dominance of the root is stopped to restrict growth and promote root branching on the inside of the container to create a fibrous root system within the container.

A method for the production of biomass including: planting rows of poplar saplings or cuttings of the species Populus nigra or Populus tremula in ridges with a density greater than 40,000 units per hectare; cutting the plantation annually at the ridge level for a period of 15 to 20 years, and obtaining in each annual cut poplar stalks having a length less than 7 meters and a diameter less than 6 centimeters, and cutting the poplar stalks transversely into substantially cylindrical blocks of biomass having an adjustable length and a variable diameter, coinciding with the diameter of the poplar stalks in the cutting areas.

Various embodiments relate generally to computer vision and automation to autonomously identify and deliver for application a treatment to an object among other objects, data science and data analysis, including machine learning, deep learning, and other disciplines of computer-based artificial intelligence to facilitate identification and treatment of objects, and robotics and mobility technologies to navigate a delivery system, more specifically, to an agricultural delivery system configured to identify and apply, for example, an agricultural treatment to an identified agricultural object. In some examples, a method may include identifying an agricultural object being associated with a subset of agricultural objects, identifying an action corresponding to a subset of agricultural objects responsive, selecting an emitter with which to perform an action associated with the agricultural object, configuring an agricultural projectile delivery system to activate an emitter to propel an agricultural projectile to intercept an agricultural object.

A cultivation and management device for fruit vegetable plants and fruit trees includes environment state information on an environment state of a fruit vegetable plant or a fruit tree to be cultivated, planned cultivation evaluation index information on a preplanned cultivation evaluation index of the fruit vegetable plant or the fruit tree, a calculation unit configured to determine and output a work including a shape change work for the fruit vegetable plant or the fruit tree with respect to inputs of the environment state information and the planned cultivation evaluation index information with a learning model, and an output unit configured to output the work including the shape change work for the fruit vegetable plant or the fruit tree.

A plant processing system of the present invention includes: a plant cultivation facility (1) which cultivates plants including a sugar solution; a crushing facility (2) which crushes plants felled in the plant cultivation facility (1); a juicing facility (3) which harvests sap from plant chips obtained by the crushing facility (2); a methane fermentation facility (5) which performs a methane fermentation process on the sap; and a power generation facility (6) which generates electric power using a biogas obtained by the methane fermentation facility (5) as a fuel.

The invention is directed to a bamboo plantation where the bamboo is integrated with pre-existing non-bamboo vegetation. In some aspects, the invention relates to a high-yielding bamboo plantation. In some aspects, the invention relates to a bamboo plantation grown on degraded or marginal land. In some aspects, the invention relates to the conversion of degraded or marginal land to a high-yielding bamboo plantation.

The present disclosure refers to a method of intensive and sustainable cultivation of fruit trees with high water consumption, such as avocado, in confinement via multivariable management of: plant architecture, nutrition, dynamic densities, artificial pollination, and use of specific wavelengths for each phenological state that allow early entry into production, maximization of yield per unit area, and control of the time of fruit harvest. The method of growing fruit trees with high water consumption (for example, avocado, citrus, apple, mango, pear, peach, kiwi, among others), in containers for intensive fruit production, includes the stages of: having plants avocado with high root density in aerated containers; arrange in containers in a substrate for accelerated root growth; fertigating the containers with a nutrient solution that provides precocity in the vegetative development, flowering and fruiting of the plant; arranging the containers in conditions of dynamic density, which varies from a density of 1.01.5 meters to a density of 3.52.5 meters; controlling the phenological cycle of the plant by lighting with a system of LED lights with intermittent pulses of wavelengths that act cyclically over time and within the location space of the plants; artificially pollinating the flowers by applying pollen by a spray system to each floral panicle; controlling the size of the tree by driving and pruning to form a multi-axis type plant architecture; controlling pests and diseases through biological control with microorganisms; and cultivating the large-caliber fruit with a small seed size.
