A superhydrophobic modified film and modification method, and a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) composed thereof and a preparation method are disclosed. A polyethylene (PE) film is etched and deposited with an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etcher in sequence. A nano-textured structure is formed on an upper surface of the PE film and a fluorocarbon layer is further deposited for modification. An upper electrode of the film is constructed by sticking a piece of ultra-thin copper tape on a superhydrophobic surface of the superhydrophobic modified film, and a lower electrode of the film is constructed by spin-coating a conductive polymer on a lower surface of the film after O.sub.2 plasma treatment. Thus, the TENG with high output and a double-electrode working mode based on the superhydrophobic modified greenhouse film is constructed. According to the modification method, the nano-textured structure is constructed on the surface of the film.

An irrigation device includes: a cell plug that includes an opening facing upward and an accommodation part that accommodates a predetermined amount of culture medium in communication with the opening; a liquid supply unit that supplies a liquid to a culture medium of the cell plug; and a cell plug lifting unit that lowers the cell plug when a weight of the cell plug is increased by a liquid supplied by the liquid supply unit and lifts the cell plug when a weight of the cell plug is decreased by drying of a culture medium. The liquid supply unit includes a contact end that is intermittently brought into contact with a culture medium by lifting and lowering of the cell plug by the cell plug lifting unit, performs liquid supply while the contact end is in contact with a culture medium, and stops liquid supply when the contact end is separated from a culture medium.

An open plant cultivation device has a container, a medium layer, a plant, and a separation layer. The container has an inner side surface, a sterile accommodation space, and an open growing space. The medium layer is disposed in the sterile accommodation space. The separation layer is disposed on the medium layer and adjacent to the inner side surface. The sterile accommodation space and the open growing space are isolated by the separation layer. A method for preparing an open plant cultivation device includes: putting a container in a sterile space; feeding a medium colloid into the container and immersing a part of a plant in the medium colloid; solidifying the medium into a medium layer; disposing a separation layer onto the medium layer to form the open plant cultivation device. The present invention has the open growing space and the effect of protecting the medium layer from contamination.

Provided is a cultivating material composition including a cultivating substrate and a bio-cellulose film, wherein the bio-cellulose film is in contact with the cultivating substrate, such that highly increased yield and quality of crops, a shorter harvest period, less water and nutrient sources, and low cost can be achieved.
