Abstract

Un procédé et un appareil de culture automatisée continue de plantes utilisent une rangée verticale de bras supportant des plantes s’étendant radialement depuis une colonne centrale. Chaque bras présente une pluralité d’éléments traversants de réception de plantes qui reçoivent les plantules, les nutriments liquides et l’eau. Les bras de support de plantes tournent sur la colonne creuse qui est motorisée au niveau de son extrémité inférieure et supportée sur un palier monté sur une conduite centrale fixe au niveau de son extrémité supérieure. La conduite centrale est fixée à une base ou un poteau en béton enfoncé ou enfoncée dans la surface de support.
