Soil ecosystem management and intelligent farming arrangement

摘要

Provided is an intelligent farming arrangement (100) comprising a plurality of cultivation receptacles (102) for receiving a soil medium (104) therein for operative cultivation of a plant. Each receptacle has a growth condition sensor (106) for operatively monitoring a condition of the soil medium (104) in said receptacle. Also included is a leaching reservoir (108) operatively arranged below said receptacles (102) for receiving leached nutrients from said receptacles under the influence of gravity, as well as a fluid redistribution arrangement (112) having at least one fluid pump (114) arranged within the leaching reservoir for redistributing such leached nutrients from the reservoir to the receptacles. Further included is a controller arranged in signal communication with each growth condition sensor and the fluid redistribution arrangement, said controller configured to operatively provide a GUI, via a communications network, to a user, said GUI having a prediction engine configured to predict plant growth in each receptacle by analysing the monitored soil condition, the GUI configured to display such predicted plant growth and monitored soil condition and to enable remote control of the fluid redistribution arrangement in real-time.
