AERO-HYDROPONIC PLANT FOR GROWING PLANTS IN VITRO Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A01G31/02 

FIELD: agriculture; biotechnologies.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture and biotechnology and can be used in multiplication of selection samples of valuable crops, as well as seed material from the tube plants in the original seed production of tuberous crops, in particular potatoes. Aero-hydroponic plant for growing plants comprises a dismountable structure carcass 1, having upper and lower frames, aero-hydroponic box 10 located in the middle part of frame 1, independent from each other main active aerosol, additional aeroponic and passive hydroponic nutrient systems, placed inside aero-hydroponic box 10, panel for planting of seedlings 7 located in the upper part of aero-hydroponic box 10. Panel 7 consists of series-connected plastic grid, black opaque film and foamed penofol. Plant has network 2 for fixation of plants, located above panel for planting of seedlings 7, lighting installation 4 attached to the upper frame of frame 1, a filtration and ultraviolet cleaning system 8 and water pump 9 attached to the lower frame of frame 1, put on the rollers. Hydroponic nutrient system includes hydraulic reservoir 12 with a nutrient solution embedded into aero-hydroponic box 10 and arranged to ensure constant contact of lower part of plant roots with nutrient solution, and elevator-platform mounted inside aero-hydroponic box 10, made with possibility of movement in vertical plane and having holes and recesses in form of cells to hold nutrient solution.

EFFECT: invention allows simplifying the plant design, thereby reducing the cost of the technological process, which leads to considerable cost reduction of the end product, as well as improve quality and quantity characteristics of grown products and enable monitoring of development of root system with prevention of environmental pollution.
