A method for growing leaf vegetables and/or herbs and/or potato plants, a device there for, a system there for, and use of ferrate for growing leaf vegetables and/or herbs and/or potato plants. The method includes providing a growth substrate, providing one or more leaf vegetable and/or herb and/or potato plant seeds and/or leaf vegetable plants and/or herb plants and/or potato plants to a growth substrate, providing growth media to the one or more leaf vegetable seeds and/or herb seeds and/or potato plant seeds and/or leaf vegetable plants and/or herb plants and/or potato plants, wherein the growth media at least comprises a liquid, and providing ferrate to the growth media.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for plant breeding. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to apparatus, systems, and methods for tomato plant breeding. In an embodiment, a method includes producing tomatoes from tomato seeds or tomato seedlings in a growing system, wherein the tomato seeds or tomato seedlings are selected to produce at least four generations and harvests of the tomatoes within one calendar year, the growing system comprising a vertical growth column. In another embodiment, a method includes planting tomato seeds or tomato seedlings in growth modules of a vertical tower, the vertical tower being free of fencing and trellising, producing tomato plants and tomatoes from the tomato seeds or tomato seedlings, and harvesting the tomatoes from the tomato plants at a period of 90 days or less from planting the tomato seeds.

The present disclosure relates to the field of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). It details a predictive method and system for optimizing the use of resources and crop productivity in indoor farming across an entire crop cycle. The present disclosure provides for a predictive method and system for optimizing resource use and crop productivity in indoor farming. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a predictor for optimizing resource use and crop productivity in indoor farming. According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a predictive system for optimizing resource use and crop productivity in indoor farming. According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a method of using a predictive system for optimizing resource use and crop productivity in indoor farming.

The present disclosure relates generally to controlled hydroponic plant growing systems.

A method and equipment for plant cultivation, where the plants are supplied with water, over irrigation phases of specific duration spread over a 24 h day, which water has a given content of dissolved oxygen, characterized in that use is made of a system for boosting the injection of oxygen (or of an oxygen-containing gas mixture) in the irrigation water over a first period, of given duration, of one or some of the irrigation phases in question, and in that the remainder of the time of said irrigation phase(s) in question is characterized by a content of dissolved oxygen in the water which is nominal, i.e. lower than the boosted content of the first period.

The present invention relates to a modular and scalable system for intelligent vertical farming infrastructure, using the latest in water recycling sciences, and artificial-intelligence based automation. This helps to combat the issue of sustainable Agriculture+its minimizing usage of water, energy, and space. It combines a vertical farming structure with multiple levels of cultivation with an irrigation and drainage system to achieve recirculation of water. The water recycling unit consists of rainwater harvesting, wastewater collection and multi-stage treatment subsystems, which can guarantee a continuous supply of high-quality recycled water for irrigation. The invention also combines a network of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled sensors and AI-based control circuitry to track and manage environmental conditions (e.g. light intensity, humidity, temperature, and nutrient levels).

Provided are a cultivation method for a fruit vegetable plant including cultivating a fruit vegetable plant by a hydroponic method using a culture solution having a Si content of 60 ppm by mass or more, a tomato, a culture solution for hydroponic cultivation of a fruit vegetable plant, and a hydroponic cultivation device of a fruit vegetable plant.
