METHOD FOR HYDROPONIC CULTIVATION OF PLANTS IN STOCK-RAISING ROOM AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A01G31/04 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to agriculture, in particular, to hydroponic cultivation of plants. Method includes seeds sowing and plants dressing with carbon dioxide. Herewith plants intended for animals green feeding during winter period are cultivated under hermetic film in trays, installed on a conveyor in a stock-raising room at the height of 3-4 meters. Nutrient solution is fed under the plants roots at the conveyor shutdown with the help of a tool for feeding the solution into a tray. Plants under the film are dressed with carbon dioxide and artificially illuminated by light sources located at an angle to plants. Sowing of seeds is carried out at the conveyor shutdown by means of sowing device installed above the conveyor. Device comprises a reservoir with nutrient solution, pipelines to supply the plants roots with the nutrient solution, pipelines to supply the plants cultivation zone with carbon dioxide, full-length trestle mounted in the stock-raising room at the level of 3-4m in the zone of steadily positive temperatures from cows heat-release, chain conveyor installed on the trestle, trays with pallets to cultivate green feeding installed on a self-lubricating conveyor guide and attached to the chain conveyor with grippers, light-transparent film which on the full length of the conveyor isolates the trays for plant cultivation, LED lamps for lighting the plants located at an angle to plants, receiving service platforms, a device to supply the nutrient solution to a tray, sowing device installed on the receiving platform above the conveyor. Pipelines to supply carbon dioxide to the plants cultivation zone are equipped with filters and fans.

EFFECT: inventions ensure higher efficiency of automation of sowing processes, irrigation and dressing of plants while cultivating them with the use of conveyor technology.
