Process for hydroponic culture of plants and device for carrying out said process.

摘要

The subject matter of the invention is constituted by a process and a device for the hydroponic cultivation of plants in a vegetation receptacle (1) filled with a substrate, the nutrient solution being fed into the zone of the root nourishment. The special characterising feature of the process is that the nutrient solution is fed by an aerosol sprinkling of the surface of the substrate with a sprinkling periodicity and duration which depends on the temperature of the ambient air. The device contains a nutrient-solution collector (9), a pump (8) and a vegetation receptacle (1) which has a discharge pipe (10) and in the upper part of which there is arranged a nutrient-solution distributor (5) in the form of a tube which is perforated at the bottom and is located at a certain distance from the surface of the substrate (2), the overall surface area of the cross-sections of the holes on the tube being smaller than the cross-sectional surface area of the discharge pipe.
