Abstract: A bale forming apparatus and a bale forming method form cylindrical bales. An intake device conveys material into a bale forming chamber surrounded by a bale forming mechanism. A bale in this bale forming chamber is formed by means of the bale forming mechanism. A pivotal guiding member is mounted at a free end of a guiding member arm. The guiding member arm is pivoted in a guiding direction and in a parking direction. This causes the guiding member to be pivoted into a guiding position and into a parking position. An actuator pivots a guiding member arm pivoting element in a pivoting direction that is the guiding direction or the parking direction. This pivoting step causes the guiding member arm to be pivoted in the pivoting direction.

Abstract: An improved method to produce artificial light for plant cultivation, an illumination device with a semiconductor light emission solution and device suited for plant cultivation in a greenhouse and/or dark growth chamber environment are described. The best mode is considered to be a lighting device with LEDs that produces an emission spectrum similar to the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) spectrum in a dark growth chamber. The methods and arrangements allow more precise spectral tuning of the emission spectrum for lights used in plant (310, 311) cultivation. Therefore unexpected improvements in the photomorphogenetic control of plant growth, and further improvements in plant production, especially in dark growth chambers, such as basements, are realized.

Abstract: High-production, minimal-discharge aquaponic systems and methods. The aquaponic systems separate waste water generated from fish tanks into two flow streams. In the first flow stream, suspended-waste water generated from the waste water is converted to nutrient-rich water and used for hydroponic plant growth. Nutrient-depleted water resulting from the hydroponic plant growth is fed back into fish tanks to continue the cycle. In the second flow stream, settleable solids generated from the waste water is converted to nutrient-rich sludge and used for solid or semi-solid substrate-based plant growth. Excess nutrient-rich water derived from the second flow stream is fed back into the first flow stream, thereby conserving water and nutrients within the system.
