  • Patent number: 10034440
    Abstract: The facility has a pair of side bars (1,1) acting as inclined supports for an upper sheet (2) with openings (8) for inserting the plants, a closed lower sheet (4) acting as a collector, and at least one intermediate sheet (3) with openings determining a cascade trajectory for the water with the nutrients. The multi-layer upper sheet (2) preferably includes four layers (2a, 2b, 2e and 2d), which together define narrow channels (7) such that at insertion, the root of each plant is placed in a channel (7) different from that used by the adjacent plants. The openings (8) for the insertion of the plants form two marginal and longitudinal lines, so than the roots of adjacent plants can be completely isolated during the first growth phase thereof, preventing interference therebetween and allowing plants with different growth rates and even different types of plants to be arranged on the facility, generating, in turn, continuous production and an improved yield from the facility.
