A Device for Growing Tree Seedlings in Arid Areas

Abstract

The paper proposes a new technology for growing tree seedlings in arid areas and degraded lands with a high difference in day and night temperatures using an autonomous plant incubator. The device allows you to reduce significantly the cost of growing a seedling due to the combination of bio-inert and biodegradable materials in the design, as well as the use of cheap recyclable materials. The paper examines the key points of the development of structural elements, justifies the choice of materials and manufacturing technologies. The article considers the results of field tests of the manufactured incubator; the work formulates the conclusions about its distinctive features, advantages over analogues and application prospects.
