A horticulture lighting arrangement comprises (i) a lighting system configured to provide horticulture light having a controllable spectral power distribution, and (ii) a control system configured to control the spectral power distribution of the horticulture light; wherein in an operational mode of the horticulture lighting arrangement the horticulture lighting arrangement is configured to provide the horticulture light according to an on-off schedule wherein consecutively an on-period (D) and an off-period (N) are applied.

A configuration system for a green energy agricultural park includes a mushroom cultivation section (10), a super-intensive breeding section (20), a non-toxic vegetable planting section (30), a poultry breeding section (40), a CAS cold chain section (50), a black soldier fly breeding section (60), a goods collection sales section (70), an electric vehicle charging section (80), and a green energy power generation section (90). The green energy power generation section generates electricity and supplies an electric power to the mushroom cultivation section, the super-intensive breeding section, the non-toxic vegetable planting section, the poultry breeding section, the CAS cold chain section, the black soldier fly breeding section, the goods collection sales section, and the electric vehicle charging section. The black soldier fly breeding section breeds black soldier flies to eat agricultural organic resources produced in the green energy agricultural park and to generate black soldier fly manure.

A method for irrigating a Cannabis plant is disclosed. The method comprises, before a pruning of the Cannabis plant, providing water to the Cannabis plant at a first rate. The method comprises, performing said pruning of the Cannabis plant. The method comprises, before said pruning, in a time window that extends from one hour before said pruning to one hour after said pruning, changing the rate of water provisioning to the Cannabis plant from the first rate to a second rate, the second rate being lower than the first rate. The method further comprises, after said pruning of the Cannabis plant, providing water to the Cannabis plant at the second rate for at least 15 minutes.

A method for cultivating Monarda fistulosa for production of thymoquinone includes planting seeds at rates between about 2.5 and about 5 pounds per acre, preferably about 4 pounds per acre. The heavy rate of planting produces plants bearing oil without weed contamination and reduces herbicide use due to production of natural herbicides by the monarda plants. Seeding and mowing the first season, and harvesting in seasons thereafter reduce costs. The method results in increased production of essential oils including thymoquinone and thymohydroquinone at levels up to about 40% or more of recovered oils, and which may be distilled from the plant.

A method for cultivating Monarda for production of thymoquinone includes plug planting Monarda fistulosa and/or Monarda didyma plants between about 24,000 and about 44,000 plants per acre. The cultivation method produces plants bearing oil without weed contamination and reduces herbicide use due to production of natural herbicides by the monarda plants. The method results in increased production of essential oils including thymoquinone and thymohydroquinone and may include propogating plants from clones to obtain thymohydroquinone at levels up to about 40% or more of the recovered oils.

The present disclosure is related to terrein functioning as a biopesticide formulation in drought resistance and growth promotion of crops. The formulation containing terrein can be treated by soaking or spraying on the crops. It is especially suitable for drought and water shortage conditions, promoting growth of plant root length, seedling height, fresh weight, and dry weight, greatly increasing crop yield, and significantly improving drought resistance of crop plants. Under the condition of seed soaking treatment with 10 g/mL terrein, promotion rates of root length, seedling height, fresh weight, and dry weight of pakchoi are 99.19%, 15.66%, 40.34%, and 49.12%, respectively. The source of terrein is easy to obtain and the cost is low. It has a simple structure and is easily soluble in water. In the actual application process, it only needs to simply prepare an aqueous solution or mix with other pesticide formulations for seed soaking or spraying treatment.

Methods and systems for hydration of plants are provided. An example method includes generating structurally altered gas molecules from water. The structurally altered gas molecules have a higher probability of attraction of electrons into areas adjunct to the structurally altered gas molecules than molecules of the water. The method further includes infusing the structurally altered gas molecules into water. The method further includes providing the water infused by the structurally altered gas molecules to a plant. The structurally altered gas molecules cause improvement of at least one characteristic concerning growing of the plant.
