System And Method For Growing A Plant In An At Least Partly Conditioned Environment

Patent No. EP2348814 (titled "System And Method For Growing A Plant In An At Least Partly Conditioned Environment") was filed by Plantlab Groep on Oct 13, 2009. The application was issued on Apr 1, 2015.

Patent Summary

This system for growing plants in a partly conditioned environment comprises a cultivation base for a culture substrate containing a root system, root temperature control means for imposing a predetermined root temperature, and lighting means for exposing leaves to actinic artificial light. The system is characterized by leaf heating means adapted to impose a leaf temperature varying from the ambient temperature. This configuration enables the mutual adaptation of photosynthesis, root pressure, and carbon dioxide assimilation. By regulating leaf temperature, the system controls stomatal opening, CO2 entry, and moisture evaporation to balance sap flow stimulated by root temperature. Embodiments include LED lighting for spectral control, closed conduit systems for root temperature regulation, and a control mechanism ensuring mutual dependence between leaf and root temperatures.
