    Method for growing or breeding a crop, method for producing a crop protection agent and method for detecting a pathogen in a carrier, as well as a crop production unit and crop production system therefor.
    The present invention relates to a method for growing a crop, wherein the crop is artificially subjected to a number of growth factors in an at least substantially daylight-free, conditioned growing environment, which growth factors comprise at least an actinic radiation spectrum to which the crop is exposed, a nutrient and irrigation of the crop and leaf evaporation. It is to be noted that a conditioned cultivation environment within the scope of the invention exists if a spatial climate therein is under control with respect to at least the relative humidity and the ambient temperature, preferably together with a carbon dioxide concentration, within an acceptable tolerance.
    A method of the type mentioned in the preamble is commonly referred to as horticulture. Horticulture is the intensive commercial cultivation of crops such as (leaf) vegetables, fruit, flowers, potted plants, trees and the development and production of bulbs and seeds. This is seen as the key in the global food issue that is becoming more and more felt with the ever-increasing world population. A specific place is traditionally occupied by greenhouse horticulture, whereby a crop is developed under glass in a fully or partially conditioned environment. External climate influences can at least partially be eliminated in this way and the same applies to seasonal changes.
    For generations, horticultural land (land) and other locations where horticulture could be practiced are scarce. Moreover, such production centers are rarely located near consumption centers such as cities and other densely populated areas. That is why an increasingly higher yield per square meter is usually sought. On the one hand, this production efficiency can be increased by not only generating more kilograms of yield per square meter, but also by the
    - Improve useful, nutritious content per kilogram of product. In addition, the production efficiency benefits from the least possible loss as a result of the crop being affected by plant diseases. In this respect, plant protection products, such as insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and other biocides (pesticides), alongside crop breeding, are an indispensable factor in today's large-scale horticultural countries and are of particular importance.
    For both forms of efficiency improvement, there is a need to control the composition of a crop at the molecular level. On the one hand, the useful content per kilogram of product can thereby be increased, and on the other hand the crop can be reproduced well, so that tests with new crop types and varieties as well as with newly developed biocides can be carried out in a standardized manner so that a faster and more reliable test result can be obtained.
    It is therefore an object of the present invention, inter alia, to provide a method for growing a crop and a cultivation environment designed for this purpose, which make such and other efficiency improvements possible.
    In order to achieve the intended object, a method of the type described in the preamble according to the invention is characterized in that the crop is subjected to a predetermined cultivation recipe during a cultivation period which imposes a predetermined ratio of water and dry matter in the crop and determine a predetermined ratio between inorganic and organic constituents in the dry matter, the cultivation recipe comprising growth parameters prescribed for each of said growth factors determining the growth factors in a predetermined mutual coherence and the growth factors in the mutual cohesion to the crop prescribed by the cultivation recipe impose.
    The invention thus provides a method with which, other than on the basis of genetics, cultivation substrate or nutrition, but on the basis of artificially imposed climate factors, complete control and determination of the crop is possible in terms
    -3 of a molecular final composition thereof. This composition is therefore also fully reproducible from harvest to harvest, whereby the invention not only provides for control and possible optimization of useful content per kilogram of yield, but also provides a standard experimental platform against which a susceptibility to plant diseases and / or growth promoters can be tested. .
    A plant distribution can be tuned to this advantageously in accordance with the invention for the development of resistant plant species and plant varieties and / or the development of new pesticides and / or growth promoters. The invention therefore also relates to a method for breeding a plant variety in which one or more plants of a new plant variety are reproduced with the method according to the invention at least almost exactly.
    The invention also relates to a method for producing a crop protection agent wherein the crop protection agent is tested on one or more plants of a crop that were reproduced at least substantially precisely with the method according to the invention and were exposed to both a pathogen and the crop protection agent. With regard to the pathogen, this usually involves a fungus, virus or bacteriological infection.
    By also reproducing genetically identical plants, using the method according to the invention, phenotypically, the effectiveness of the plant protection product can thus be tested particularly efficiently and efficiently by treating the plants with it preventively, before being exposed to the pathogen, or by doing so curative after the plants have been exposed to the pathogen. Because plants are at least practically identical in both a genetic and phenotypic sense, a particularly reliable picture can thus be obtained of the effectiveness of the agent, for example with different dosages and dosage forms and / or of different agents.
    In addition, the invention relates to a method for detecting a pathogen in a carrier, in particular in seed, wherein one or more indicator plants susceptible to the pathogen are cultivated with the method according to the invention and to at least one sample of the carrier. are exposed. The indicator plants are herein advantageously cultivated with the method according to the invention in such a way that, within their genotype, they are phenotypically exceptionally susceptible to the pathogen in question. Surprisingly, it has been found that a directed control of the said growth parameters leads to solids content of the crop, which results in such exceptional susceptibility. The plants thus grown then lend themselves perfectly as an indicator of the presence of the pathogen.
    The aforementioned methods for breeding a crop or for developing a crop protection agent and / or indicator plants all have the advantage that a development time and thus the development costs can be drastically reduced because, thanks to the invention, a cultivation cycle can be considerably shortened, so that more cultivation cycles per time unit, and because the crop can thereby be reproduced at least almost exactly at the molecular level, and test results are therefore more reliable and will lead to results faster.
    The invention is based on the insight that this is pre-eminently possible by controlling the aforementioned growth factors, or a controlled supply of actinic artificial light - in particular a tailored spectrum, dose and duration of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in combination with evaporation directing radiation in a conditioned, daylight-free environment. It should be noted that the leaf evaporation of the crop will always be a result of an imposed root temperature of the crop, the relative humidity and the leaf temperature. The latter is in practice partly determined by the heat received by the leaf, in particular in the form of evaporation-controlling radiation such as infrared and far-red radiation to which the leaf system is intentionally and controlledly exposed. This gives the stomata (stomata) an incentive to open. The
    Root temperature controls the root activity and therefore a root pressure for a sap flow through the crop. By opening more or less, the stomata in the leaf will ensure that moisture can escape to a greater or lesser extent through the leaf. With a positive moisture deficit between the water balance inside the leaf (mouth) and the relative humidity outside the leaf (mouth), this will lead to evaporation on the leaf. Thus, the vaporizing radiation in combination with the spatial relative humidity together with the root temperature (root pressure) regulates the vaporization at the leaf system of the plant.
    Many crops consist for the most part of water, while only a modest share of dry matter is reserved. Nevertheless, the nutritional value or otherwise useful content of the crop usually lies in the proportion and specific composition of the plant's dry matter. To increase the efficiency thereof, a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention has the feature that the crop is controlled at a predetermined ratio between inorganic and organic components in the dry matter. More in particular, a further embodiment of the method according to the invention is herein characterized in that the crop is steered to a mutual ratio of minerals and organic substances in the dry matter, in particular to a carbon content in the dry matter, more in particular particularly on a carbon / nitrogen ratio in the dry matter.
    In addition, not only the amount of dry matter, but also its composition can be controlled and controlled thanks to the invention. A special embodiment of the method according to the invention has the feature in that connection that the crop is steered to a solid, i.e. predetermined, composition of minerals and organic substances.
    In addition to being directly consumed as a food source, some crops are grown to isolate a useful component thereafter. In particular, this often involves complex organic molecules that are not or only with large ones
    Difficulty or a low yield can be synthesized. Thanks to the invention, if desired, an optimization of the proportion of such a useful component in the crop can be steered. In view of this, a further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the crop is steered to an organic composition, in particular to a content of carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, esters, aromatics, proteins, vitamins, fragrances, colorants and / or flavorings.
    In order, inter alia, to be able to implement and implement the method according to the invention in practice, the invention also relates to a crop production unit, comprising an at least substantially daylight-free, conditioned growing environment for receiving a crop therein and developing in a growing period to introduce, which cultivation environment comprises a dark room with radiation means for generating actinic artificial light with a specific photosynthetically active radiation spectrum and for generating evaporative control radiation, to which radiation spectrum and which evaporation control radiation the crop is at least temporarily exposed, and with climate control means for controlling a number of growth factors, which growth factors comprise at least a spatial ambient temperature and a spatial relative humidity.
    According to the invention, such a crop production unit is characterized in that the climate control means and the radiation means are coupled to a control device which is capable and adapted to receive a cultivation recipe and to control the radiation means and the climate control means on the basis thereof and during a cultivation period. a mode that imposes a ratio of water and dry matter in the crop determined by the cultivation recipe as well as a composition of inorganic and organic constituents in the dry matter determined by the cultivation recipe, wherein the cultivation recipe comprises growth parameters prescribed for the different growth factors that include the growth factors in determine a predetermined mutual cohesion and impose the growth factors on the crop in the mutual cohesion prescribed by the cultivation recipe. Thanks to
    The control device and the control based on the cultivation recipe to be followed thereby, the crop production unit can continuously offer the said growth factors to the crop completely autonomously in an intended mutual cohesion over the entire cultivation period. This makes it possible to achieve uniform, optimum crop development that is also fully reproducible in terms of the end product to be grown. Optionally, a control of the spatial carbon dioxide concentration can be added to the climate control means to also keep this parameter under complete control.
    The control device can itself be supplied on location with the cultivation recipe. In a practical embodiment, however, the production unit is characterized in that the control device is provided with telecommunication means and is capable and adapted to receive the cultivation recipe in digital form via the telecommunication means. The cultivation recipe can thus be obtained from a remote location and be obtained electronically by the control device.
    A growing recipe will often come about through trial and error and at the expense of a considerable investment in money and manpower. In order to protect this valuable information against misuse and unintended spread, a further particular embodiment of the crop production unit according to the invention is characterized in that the cultivation recipe comprises a digital data set that is encrypted. By means of suitable encryption of the cultivation data, legal use thereof can thus be prevented by selective issuance and possible periodic renewal of an associated, appropriate decryption key.
    In a special embodiment, cultivation recipes for different crops and for different crop developments of the same crop are developed and made available by a central organization for subsequent implementation in different crop production centers. In view of this, the present invention also provides a crop production system, comprising a number of crop production units according to the invention, which are coupled to a
    Crop control center, characterized in that the crop control center is provided with data storage means for keeping and offering for delivery to crop production units cultivation recipes from a collection of cultivation recipes that can be processed by the crop production units for controlling the artificial light means and the climate control means.
    The invention will now be further elucidated with reference to an exemplary embodiment and an accompanying drawing. In the drawing:
    Fig. 1 schematically shows an arrangement of an exemplary embodiment of a crop production system according to the invention;
    Figure 2 shows a series of plants of the same genotype cultivated according to the invention under different growing conditions; and figure 3 shows diagrammatically an overview of the growth factors that are imposed by the cultivation recipe in the design of figure according to the invention.
    The figure is purely schematic and not drawn to scale. In particular, for the sake of clarity, some dimensions may be exaggerated to a greater or lesser extent. Corresponding parts are designated in the figure with the same reference numeral.
    The plant (re) production system shown in Figure 1 comprises a central crop control center PRC where research is conducted into crop development and concrete cultivation recipes are developed based on the research results. These cultivation recipes include values over the entire cultivation period in which a crop develops for a number of growth factors that, in their mutual coherence, control, control and determine the development and composition of the crop during the cultivation period. These growth factors include a spectrum of actinic artificial light to which the crop is exposed, a spatial ambient temperature, a leaf evaporation, a spatial relative humidity and a spatial carbon dioxide concentration, in addition to nutrient and humidification of the crop.
    -9These growth factors that determine the final development of the crop are shown schematically in Figure 3. In the first place, this concerns the spatial climate to which the crop is exposed and which is fully controlled within practical limits in accordance with the invention. This concerns the room temperature Ia, the relative humidity Ib and the carbon dioxide concentration Ie. By continuously circulating an air flow with a controlled air velocity through the space and passing through an air treatment device outside the space, this environmental climate is kept at a desired level within acceptable limits. The specified parameters Ia, Ib, Ie, 1d are specified in the cultivation recipe.
    In addition, the cultivation recipe includes values for irrigation Ha and fertilization Ilb for selected time intervals during the development of the crop. Evaporation from the crop is a result of the previous parameters together with the root temperature lila of the root system and evaporation-controlling (infrared) radiation Illb on the leaf. Both are laid down in the cultivation recipe and are imposed on the crop with appropriate means. Moreover, the spectrum of actinic light according to the invention is also fully controlled. For this purpose cultivation is done in a daylight-free environment to counteract the otherwise intervening influence of sunlight and actinic artificial light is offered instead. This artificial light includes photosynthetically active radiation IVa (PAR) in the blue and red part of the visible light, but can also contain other actinic components such as far-red IVb and UV radiation, depending on the crop and the desired control on content. thereof. With all these values prescribed in such a cultivation recipe per time interval, it thus appears that the chemical content of the crop can be completely controlled in terms of a ratio of water to dry matter and in terms of the final dry matter composition of the crop and can be practically exact reproduced.
    The PRC crop control center has digital storage resources on which the developed cultivation recipes are stored and makes these recipes available to PPU1 crop production units affiliated with the crop control center. 4
    -10 of which four are shown in the figure. These production units can be provided at any location, for example close to an urban area SI,
    S2 or in the countryside, and both above ground PPU1 ... 3 and underground PPU4.
    The production units have a central control system for climate control of the cultivation area and artificial lighting equipment to which the crop to be grown is exposed. Daylight is kept out of the cultivation area as much as possible in order to exclude a disruptive influence of sunlight and, incidentally, an environment isolated from the environment is maintained within the production unit. To this end, each crop production unit comprises climate control means for controlling at least the aforementioned growth factors and the crop production units have artificial lighting means in the form of LED luminaires that emit a controlled light spectrum to the crop which, in addition to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in the special can also include infrared radiation to support the development of the crop.
    The PPU1 ... 4 crop production units all have telecommunication means with which a connection can be established and maintained with the crop control center PRC for the transmission of a cultivation recipe R1 ... R2.2 that is obtained from the crop control center PRC for the purpose of cultivation of a specific crop in the relevant production unit or on a specific crop of a crop. This refers to the control of a crop for ingredients as desired. Thereby, in addition to a single cultivation recipe, a production unit can also carry out more cultivation recipes, if desired, as indicated in the figure for the second production unit PPU-2. This then concerns, for example, different crops that are grown simultaneously in the production unit or different modalities of the same crop that is thus controlled on different ingredients.
    The cultivation recipe contains all parameters and values for the growth factors shown in Figure 3, which together with the climate control and artificial lighting means
    -11 effect this control in a production unit. Because this is business-sensitive and extremely valuable information, the cultivation recipe is preferably exchanged in an encrypted form, which is reflected in the figure by the key symbol. Each accredited production unit comprises telecommunication means with which the cultivation recipe can be received and has an appropriate decryption key for decoding the cultivation recipe. A central processing unit in the crop production unit translates the cultivation recipe into corresponding, corresponding control commands for the various components of the climate control means and for the artificial light means so that the crop will experience specific climatic conditions and a light spectrum as intended by the cultivation recipe.
    A textual representation of an exemplary cultivation recipe for growing basil is shown below as an illustration. The basil cultivation cycle takes 25 days from sowing to harvesting. During this cultivation cycle, all relevant growth factors are applied to the crop in a fully controlled manner according to the following recipe. It should be noted in this connection that the leaf evaporation of the crop within the scope of the present invention will usually be determined in practice by a combination of a possibly specifically imposed root temperature, the relative air humidity and the exposure of the leaf of the crop to radiation that controls evaporation, such as infrared and far-red radiation from luminaires provided for this purpose. The recipe starts on day 0 with sowing and runs until day 25 for harvesting. During this period, the growth parameters are adjusted step by step as follows:
    CULTURAL RECIPE I:
    Parameter: Day 0 · * Day 3 Day 6 Day 13 · * Day 20 Room Temperature (° C) 20 22 22 22 25 Root Temperature (° C) 19 21 21 21 24 Relative humidity (%) 99 84 78 58 50 Blue (pmol / nf.s) 0 30 60 60 60 Red (pmol / nf.s) 0 55 110 110 110
    Far-Red (qmol / nr.s) 0 25 50 50 50 Radiation duration (h) 0 16 16 16 16 CO 2 concentration (ppm) 350 350 1000 1000 1000 Air speed (m / s) L5 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 Substrate P7 P7 P7 P7 P7 Electrical Conductivity 1.0 1.0 2.0 3.5 3.5 pH 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 Feeding schedule 4 4 4 4 4
    This recipe leads to important other levels of aromas and flavorings in the basil grown in a fully controlled environment in comparison with basil from outside cultivation. Starting from the cultivation recipe shown above, the content of fragrances and flavors in the final crop can be further increased by subjecting the crop to UV radiation during one or more specific daily periods during the cycle. This period starts in the following diagram one hour before the start of photosynthesis and continues until half an hour after the crop was also subjected to the other radiation. This modification is incorporated in the following cultivation recipe and leads to a corresponding modified crop composition:
    -13 PARTICIPATION II:
    Parameter: Day 0 Day 3 · * Day 6 ♦ Day 13 Day 20 · * Room Temperature (° C) 20 22 22 22 25 Root Temperature (° C) 19 21 21 21 24 Relative humidity (%) 99 84 78 58 50 Blue (pmol / nf. S) 0 30 60 60 60 Red (pmol / m 2 .s) 0 55 110 110 110 Ver-Red (pmol / m 2 .s) 0 25 50 50 50 Radiation duration (h) 0 16 16 16 16 UV (pmol / nrs) 0 0 0 0 5-10 UV period (h) 0 0 0 0 1.5 CO 2 concentration (ppm) 350 350 1000 1000 1000 Air speed (m / s) L5 L5 1.5 1.5 1.5 Substrate P7 P7 P7 P7 P7 Electrical Conductivity 1.0 1.0 2.0 3.5 3.5 pH 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 Feeding schedule 4 4 4 4 4
    In addition to ingredients, the shape (phenotype) of the crop can also be controlled by imposing a predetermined, precisely defined cultivation recipe on it. This is illustrated in Figure 2A-H. This concerns basil with always the same genotype (species, variety) that was subjected to different cultivation recipes with regard to a radiation spectrum to which the crop was exposed, a spatial ambient temperature, a root temperature, a spatial relative humidity and a spatial carbon dioxide concentration. Within the same genotype, this leads to the indicated variation in crop construction after the same cultivation period between sowing and harvesting. In addition, it is also possible to vary with feeding schedules, air speed and root / substrate temperature of the crop. It is important that the crop development as shown in Figure 2A-H, using the present invention, is completely reproducible. This means that with the same cultivation recipe, the same crop development will always be obtained after cultivation time.
    -14For the taste of basil, roughly fifty different flavors of fragrances determine. Five of them, including eugenol, geranol and linalool, appear to be dominant. The following cultivation recipe results in a significantly increased content of these substances:
    CULTURE RECEPTION III
    Parameter: Day 0 * Day 3 · * Day 6 - ♦ Day 13 Day 20 · * Room Temperature (° C) 20 22 22 22 25 Root T temperature (° C) 19 21 21 21 24 Relative humidity (%) 99 84 80 65 65 Blue (pmol / m 2 .s) 0 15 30 30 30 Red (pmol / m 2 .s) 0 35 85 85 85 Ver-Red (pmol / m 2 .s) 0 0 25 50 50 Radiation duration (h) 0 20 20 20 20 Concentration CO, (ppm) 350 350 1000 1000 1000 Air speed (m / s) L5 L5 L5 1.5 L5 Substrate P7 P7 P7 P7 P7 Electrical Conductivity L0 1.0 2.0 3.5 3.5 pH 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 Feeding schedule 4 4 4 4 4
    It is also possible to control the composition of the dry matter according to the desired share of organic and inorganic substances therein. This is a control on the total carbon / nitrogen ratio in the crop. Even when it comes to control depending on the type or composition of organic and / or inorganic ingredients, a cultivation recipe can respond to the specific wishes and needs of the grower of the crop. Thus, a content of vitamins and / or phytodiormones and / or chlorophyll can be increased or an increase in amino acids can be stimulated, for example.
    A more specific exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention is the cultivation of canabis, or marijuana, in a conditioned, daylight-free
    -15 above-ground or underground cultivation environment, commonly referred to as city-farming.
    Canabis has a number of main components, each with its own specific effect. The eighty components found only in cannabis are known as cannabinoids. These act on the receptors in the human body and cause effects in the nervous system and the brain.
    THC is the best known and most commonly found cannabinoid in cannabis; it stands for delta-9-tetrahydiocannabinol. This cannabinoid is responsible for the most important psychoactive effect experienced after consuming cannabis, it stimulates parts of the brain and thus causes the release of dopamine - this creates a feeling of euphoria and well-being. THC also has narcotic effects and reduces the symptoms of pain and inflammation. In combination they give a great feeling of relaxation.
    Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the second most common cannabinoid in marijuana. This substance has good applications in the field of medicine and is the component that is eminently suitable for medicinal use. This non-psychotic component is thought to reduce and regulate the effects of THC. This means that species that contain relatively much CBD in addition to THC cause a much clearer psychotic experience than species that contain relatively little CBD. CBD has a long list of medicinal properties. The most important are the reduction of chronic pain, inflammation, migraine, arthritis, spasms, epilepsy and schizophrenia.
    The present invention allows, on the basis of a cultivation recipe tailored thereto, to develop and reproduce within the same genotype canabis a phenotype that has such an increased proportion of CBD. This makes it possible to provide cannabis for medicinal applications in a much more efficient manner.
    Also, with the aid of the invention, based on a cultivation recipe tailored thereto, it is always possible to achieve a desired value of a chosen mineral quality index.
    -16, such as the so-called Eric Gun Index (EGI), which represents a mineral composition in the form of a formula in which elemental concentrations of elements such as nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) have been processed. This is a measure, for example in the case of fruit, with which a predetermined resistance of the crop to certain plant diseases, a desired taste and / or a storage quality after picking is imposed and, as it were, is built in. In addition to or instead of the EGI, it is also possible, if desired, to steer to a different index as is usually used as a benchmark for a certain crop (type) in the market. A relevant parameter can also be found, for example, in the ratio between potassium and calcium in the crop. If desired, this can also be specifically controlled by applying a suitable cultivation recipe.
    Not only the content or shape (phenotype) of the crop can thus be artificially imposed and controlled within the same genotype by subjecting the crop to a specific recipe for cultivation; also a resilience or sensitivity to plant diseases, in particular as a result of infection with microorganisms such as a fungus, bacteria or virus, or to insects can be influenced by imposing a specific cultivation recipe. Increased resilience leads to a better resistance of the crop and therefore a lower susceptibility, while a standard sensitivity can serve as a normalized test platform for tests with newly to be developed biocides that can thus be carried out in a standardized manner so that a faster and more reliable test result can be achieved be obtained.
    On the other hand, on the basis of a carefully selected cultivation recipe, an increased sensitivity to fungi or viruses can be achieved. This is advantageous if the crop is used as an indicator of the presence or absence of that particular fungus or virus in a given environment. An example of this is the cultivation of the plants Nicotiana (tobacco) and Chenopodium (melganzetet) that are used in virus tests.
    -17 The sensitivity of the crop to these viruses can be controlled with various cultivation recipes. The same applies to sensitivity to fungi such as downy mildew. Here too, different crop recipes can be used to control the plant in difference in sensitivity. Not only the susceptibility to virus or fungus can thus be significantly increased or reduced; this can also be repeated in a completely reproducible manner whereby each plant with certainty develops a normalized, constant susceptibility to a certain pathogen or group of pathogens. This makes it possible to test in a reliable and standardized manner for the presence of that pathogen, such as a virus, bacterium or fungus, by exposing a cultivated indicator plant to a sample of a carrier sampled for this purpose and subsequently affecting the crop or not. to establish.
    It is also important that the cultivation recipe includes complete control of all environmental factors that determine the development and content of the crop. The only remaining factor that is not imposed by the cultivation recipe is only the genetics of the crop. However, within the limits of that genetic content of the crop, the development of the crop is completely imposed by the cultivation recipe and thus controlled. It can thus be ensured that the end product will always have at least substantially the same composition, with which a previously unparalleled reproducibility is achieved. This provides a valuable starting point for distribution studies into new plant varieties and species and for the development of new plant protection products, whereby, for example, resistance to plant diseases can thus always be evaluated on the same, normalized plant.
    Although the invention has been further elucidated on the basis of only a single exemplary embodiment, it will be apparent that the invention is by no means limited thereto. On the contrary, many variations and manifestations are possible for the average person skilled in the art within the scope of the invention. Although the examples were limited to basil, canabis, tobacco (Nicotiana) and melganic foot (Chenopodium),
    Principle every crop stands for a closed and fully controlled cultivation and cultivation system according to the invention, such as, for example, besides herbs many forms of leaf crops, in particular leafy vegetables, and other crops with a specific useful ingredient that can be isolated therefrom, such as in addition to canabis for example also stevia, with a view to extracting a sweetener for human consumption and crops with fragrances and colors for perfumes, foodstuffs and the like. In fact, the invention opens the way to a completely new form of horticulture in which it is no longer nature but man who directs the development of the crop within the limits that are only determined by the genetic content of the crop.
