Abrégé

The invention is related to a method for cleaning a water-permeable top fabric (1) which forms a top side of a cultivation floor on which plants or plant containers are placeable. The invention is further related to a cultivation floor cleaning device (5) for cleaning the water-permeable top fabric (1). The cultivation floor cleaning device (5) comprises a fluid releaser (8) for releasing a fluid to the cultivation floor, which is provided on a front end, relative to the cleaning direction, of the cleaning device, e.g. on a front end of the chassis (7), a heating device (9) for heating the fluid to be released by the fluid releaser (8), a sweeper (10) for sweeping the cultivation floor and loosening algae thereon, and a fluid extractor (11) for extracting the fluid and loosened algae from the cultivation floor, which is provided on a back end, relative to the cleaning direction, of the cleaning device (5), opposite the fluid releaser (8).

A cultivation floor system on which plants, e.g. in plant containers or soil blocks, are placeable comprises a watertight basin, a water permeable structure with at least a layer of a granular material, e.g. lava granules, filled in the basin, and a permeable top fabric which forms a top side of the floor on which the plants and/or the plant containers are placeable. An ebb/flood watering installation supplies water so that water is available for the plants in the plant containers and comprises one or more irrigation lines embedded in the water- permeable structure. The floor system further comprises a cultivation floor indentation resisting layer formed by adjoining and interconnected perforated panels that are arranged between the permeable top fabric and the water-permeable structure, wherein the perforated panels are each provided with distributed perforations that allow water supplied via the irrigation lines to pass from the water-permeable structure through the perforated panels and through the permeable top fabric to plant containers placed - in use - on the top fabric.

A cultivation floor system has a floor on which plant containers are to be placed. The system includes a watertight basin and a water-permeable structure in the basin, which structure has a permeable top cloth which forms the top side of the floor on which plant containers are placed. The structure includes one or more water-retaining layers. A watering installation supplies water so that water is available for the plants in the plant containers. A perforated film is placed between the permeable top cloth on the one hand and the one or more water-retaining layers on the other hand, which perforated film is made of impermeable film material which is provided with distributed perforations in such a manner that the film reduces the free evaporation surface for water from the one or more water-retaining layers.

The delivery of plant-holders to a cultivation floor or the removal of plant-holders from a cultivation floor, using a mobile belt transport system which is placed next to the cultivation floor with the belt conveyor in the folded state. The belt conveyor is brought into an at least partially unfolded state, wherein enough frame parts are unfolded to be able to transport the plant-holders.

A cultivation floor system (1) with a floor (2) on which plant containers (6) are placed. The cultivation floor system (1) comprises a watertight basin (4) and a water-permeable structure (5) in the basin (4). The water-permeable structure (5) is covered by a permeable top fabric (17) which forms the floor (2) onto which the plant containers (6) are placed. The structure has one or more layers of granular material, such as for example of volcanic rock, e.g. lava granules. Preferably, as is also the case in known systems, the top fabric (17) is a woven top fabric having small pores between the yarns of the top fabric. A perforated film (40) is placed between the permeable top fabric (17) on the one hand and the permeable structure (5) on the other hand. The perforated film (40) is made of impermeable film material which is provided with distributed perforations (41) in such a manner that the film (40) reduces the free evaporation surface for water from the permeable structure (5).

A cultivation floor system with a floor includes a watertight basin with a watertight groundsheet, a water-permeable structure in the basin, and a permeable top sheet which lies substantially horizontally over the water-permeable structure and forms the top side of the floor on which plant containers are optionally placed. The basin has a water-barrier structure which protrudes above the floor and delimits the compartment which is present on the floor. The water-barrier structure includes a horizontal beam with a top side, a water-barrier profile with a bottom side, and fastening means which fasten the water-barrier profile to the horizontal beam. The top side of the beam is substantially level with the top side of the floor formed by the permeable top sheet. The bottom side of the water-barrier profile is pulled onto the top side of the horizontal beam while clamping the watertight groundsheet and the permeable top sheet.
