SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLED CULTIVATION OF PLANTS IN ARTIFICIAL CONDITIONS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A01G9/26 A01G31/02 

FIELD: agriculture; biology.

SUBSTANCE: system comprises tools for soil cultivation of plants with a system of nozzles for watering plants with water coming from the water supply system, and/or a tray for hydroponic growing of plants filled with hydroponic composition prepared and circulating in a closed system, equipped with a programmable logic controller synchronized with a computer that controls a programmable logic controller within the software environment, which provides input of the required parameters of the plant growing procedure into the computer. The programmable logic controller ensures the execution of specified commands and the achievement of the required parameters in automatic mode, comprises humidity and temperature sensors. The system comprises a collapsible frame, inside which tools for soil growing of plants and/or a tray for hydroponic growing of plants are installed. The system is divided into segments isolated from each other, which are isolated from the external environment. To create a microclimate in each such segment, an artificial radiation source is installed, made with a spectral characteristic of radiation affecting grown plants in the wavelength range of 200-1500 nm. Each segment is equipped with a fan to create the required temperature and humidity values and a fan to simulate natural wind. The programmable logic controller is connected to a source of artificial radiation, fans and a humidity and temperature sensor and provides automatic and/or manual adjustment of the characteristics created within the segments of the systems of artificial conditions affecting the grown plants. The OWEN controller was used as a programmable logic controller. The programmable logic controller is controlled within the OwenLogic software environment. A sensor of the OWEN PVT10 type was used as a humidity and temperature sensor.

EFFECT: extension of the functionality of growing plants in artificial conditions using soil and hydroponic technologies, and a possibility of irradiating grown plants with artificial radiation sources in the 200-1500 nm wavelength range, and increasing the efficiency of growing plants and fruits by stimulating the photosynthesis process.
