AGGREGATE TO GROW PLANTS Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: aggregate has a skeleton, in which inclined to horizon posts and rods are connected to each other through supporting members. Posts and rods support baffles with substratum or just with spacers and plants. Feeding pipeline, aprons with groove-shaped surface to pour liquid from upper baffles in lower baffles and draining groove are mounted in the skeleton. Inclination of posts allows to place baffles so, that production area, considering increase of passes, also increases 2.5 times and in case of use of interpost space to grow mushrooms - 3.5 times. Inclination of baffles with usage of groove-shaped aprons and usage of spacers in case of water flow-type system of roots feeding allows to increase intensity of plants growth more than twice, as compared with growing plants in soil, and to increase production output from one square meter 6 folds. EFFECT: aggregate is used in agriculture. 5 dwg
