Container for protected horti-floriculture by the soilles technique with thermal conditioning of the culture substrates

摘要

The invention concerns a pot (1) or a container of another shape suitable for the cultivation of a horti-floricultural species grown with the "soilless" technique, provided with an external jacket-shaped air-gap (2) for the forced circulation of a thermal carrier fluid for the thermal conditioning of the substrate and of the roots apparatus contained therein. The jacket-shaped air-gap (2) is provided with two passage holes with a sleeve insert (5) for the inlet and the outlet of the thermal carrier fluid and with a flow deflection baffle (7) in front of each one of the two inlet and outlet holes. The pot (1) also comprises preferably two longitudinal baffle (10) dividing the jacket-shaped air-gap (2) in two sectors, and two or more longitudinal stiffening grooves (11) around the internal wall (3).;The device is capable of maintaining the substrate and the roots apparatus of a "soilless" culture within optimal temperature ranges, while maintaining a localized microclimate around the plant and allowing to limit the temperature of the whole greenhouse internal volume, thereby resulting in an energy saving.
