Abstract

Un método y aparatos para el cultivo automático continuo de plantas en crecimiento que utiliza un arreglo vertical de brazos de apoyo de planta que se extienden de manera radial desde una columna central. Cada brazo cuenta con múltiples elementos de tolva para recibir plantas que reciben la plántula, nutrientes líquidos y agua. Los brazos de apoyo de planta giran en la columna hueca que es accionada por motor en su extremo inferior y se apoyan en un rodamiento montado en un tubo central fijo en su extremo superior. El tubo central está fijado a una base de concreto o a un poste enterrado en la superficie de apoyo.A method and apparatus for continuous automatic cultivation of growing plants using a vertical arrangement of plant support arms that extend radially from a central column. Each arm has multiple hopper elements to receive plants that receive the seedling, liquid nutrients and water. The plant support arms rotate in the hollow column which is motor driven at its lower end and are supported by a bearing mounted on a fixed central tube at its upper end. The central tube is fixed to a concrete base or to a post buried in the support surface.
