REPLACEABLE MODULE FOR IONITOPONIC GROWING OF PLANTS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A01G9/29 

FIELD: plants growing.

SUBSTANCE: replaceable module for ionitoponic growing of plants contains a modular box made of upper and lower parts, such that a nutrient medium for growing plants is placed throughout the entire internal volume of the box. The upper part contains at least one hole for seeding. The nutrient medium is made in the form of a substrate layer with a moisturizing layer - to the inner lower part of the modular box, containing at least one through drainage hole, and with a ventilation layer - to the inner upper part of the modular box. The hole for sowing plant seeds is made through the ventilation layer to a depth along the thickness of the substrate layer with the possibility of placing an organic layer throughout its entire volume for germinating the seed. The upper part of the modular box contains a pipe for connecting to the irrigation equipment of the ionitoponic cultivation system, as well as a connector for the soil moisture sensor, the sensitive element of which is located in the substrate layer, for connection to the data reception/transmission module of the ionitoponic cultivation system.

EFFECT: expansion of operational capabilities, which consists in the effective implementation of growing different types of plants according to their morphological structure, with germination of variable volumetric forms in the organic layer, using a modular device for ionitoponic growing systems, with irrigation of plants with clean water in a controlled automated control mode.
