Abstract

Vertical cultivation is the most important method in the future spatially in smart agriculture systems. The fourth different thickness soilless textile was used as the board to cultivate water-cress (Eruca Sativa). The vacuum pump model VRI V3 Dual Stage Vacuum Pump was constructed and used in the preliminary experimental test. It’s run to measure the water content and water absorption percentage for soilless board under lab conditions. Different tests were evaluated for the absorption sample after elapsed time 0.08, 0.17, 0.25, 5, 24 and 120 hours. Soilless board textile with thickness 32 mm, 26 mm, 21 mm and 16 mm made from the following material: woven fabric of Cotton. The four mattresses of smart textile as soilless vertical cultivation, measuring 40 cm width 60 cm length were created; it has filler from soft sawdust, a mixture of red (beech) and white (Swedish) wood. The result of preliminary test illustrated that the soilless board may be able to keep the amount of water for more than 72.3% after 5 days from edit water to soilless board. The soilless smart with 32 mm thickness gave highly growths of water-cress compared with the other smart mattress.

Summary

Introduction

The vertical cultivation soilless may be able to solve the problems of soil contamination. Vertical farming and Vertical cultivation are some of the many ideas being further developed by various re-research groups, corporations, and ordinary citizens. S. El Nashar especially in large and densely populated cities, in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner. While agricultural textiles are often used in agriculture and textile fabrics can be purchased, only a few researchers have studied the possibilities of using woven fabrics as substrates for vertical wandering so far [1]
