WERKWIJZE EN INRICHTING VOOR HET LATEN GROEIEN VAN PLANTEN.

摘要

A method for growing plants from seeds or small seedlings wherein the latter are first planted in open tray-like containers that are secured to an elongated rotatable module or core support about its longitudinal axis of rotation. The core support with its containers is moved at a slow speed through a controlled, growth enhancing environment as it also rotates at a constant rate. An apparatus for accomplishing the method comprises a continuous chain means driven by a first drive means at a constant rate and to which are attached a series of module supports that are simultaneously rotated by a second drive means as they are moved along through a controlled environment. Each module support provides a mounting frame for retaining a plurality of removable plant containers or trays for growing plants or seedlings.
