| 254 | Aqua farm filtering | US717568 | 1996-09-23 | US5768866A | 1998-06-23 | Walter W. Minnich |
| A system for aqua farming comprises at least one land mass; typically a plurality of approximately rectangular land masses with their sides typically at least about an order of magnitude longer than their ends and defining approximately parallel channels between them in an adjacent body of water. The water moves into the channels and, in a substantial region of each land mass, also moves through it from the channel on one side to the channel on the other side thereof. Filtering means such as sand, gravel, or a mixture of sand and gravel, block the movement through the land masses of most of the pieces of solid matter that may be present in the water, whose smallest cross section is larger than a predetermined size. | ||||||
| 255 | Apparatus and process for treating soil used for cultivation | US792102 | 1985-10-28 | US4658738A | 1987-04-21 | Eugen Zinck |
| Apparatus and method for breaking up soil and introducing a substrate into the broken up soil. The substrate is contained in a reservoir. A series of pneumatic cylinders acting in timed sequence function to first open a rapid-closing valve for introducing a blast of compressed air for forcing a probe into the ground for breaking up the soil. The rapid-closing valve is then closed, a pressure drop sensed, and an injection valve opened to pressurize the reservoir to inject substrate into the fissures formed during the break up of the soil. The substrate may comprise fertilizers, curing substances or filling materials which, together with the compressed air with which they are injected, serve to better condition the soil for cultivation. If desired, additional compressed air lines may communicate with the interior of the reservoir for ensuring a positive pressure in the reservoir to carry out substrate injection. | ||||||
| 256 | Agricultural attachment | US32905 | 1979-04-24 | US4315547A | 1982-02-16 | Willy Rau; Christian Taus |
| An attachment for agricultural machines includes a frame having a leading and trailing portion, a first soil-treating unit located at the leading portion of the frame and a second soil-treating unit located at the trailing portion of the frame. Between the first unit and the second unit there is located on the frame wheels for supporting the frame when an agricultural machine provided with the attachment moves along a road. The wheels are displaceable relative to the frame between a first position in which the wheels engage the ground and a second position in which the wheels do not engage the ground. The frame is so coupled to a lifting device of the agricultural machine that, when the wheels are in the second position, the trailing portion of the frame is supported on the ground by the second soil-treating unit. | ||||||

The plowing tool includes a cylindrical rim and an array of soil digging teeth rigidly secured to the rim and projecting radially with respect thereto for moving soil laterally relative to the line of travel of the implement. Each tooth is characterized by an inclined face slanting away from the direction of rotation of the rim and converging to form a cutting edge which is canted at an oblique angle with respect to the line of travel. A plurality of the plowing tools are mounted along a rotatable shaft which extends transversely with respect to the line of travel of the carriage assembly, and the cutting edges of the teeth in adjacent pairs of the plowing tools are oppositely canted with respect to each other for lifting and laterally displacing soil toward or away from the common center line of travel of the adjacent pair of tools. A method of tilling soil for farming a row crop in a field which can be carried out by the apparatus of the invention is also disclosed. | ||||||
| 259 | Treatment of soil | US3713253D | 1972-01-24 | US3713253A | 1973-01-30 | URBAN U |
| Soil is treated prior to planting by spreading water-insoluble, polyolefin pellets having an average cross sectional dimension in the range of 1/16 in. to 3/16 in. and having an average density in the range of 30 pounds per cubic foot to 37.5 pounds per cubic foot over the surface of the soil. The amount of particulate material applied ranges from 0.010 pounds to 0.035 pounds per square foot of soil surface area, as indicated by type of soil and degree of compaction. The soil is then worked so that the polyolefin particles are distributed uniformly within the soil to a depth in the order to about 6 to 8 inches below the surface. The method promotes seed germination, allows faster plant growth, provides more efficient use of moisture and nutrients, reduces erosion and crustation, and thus improves crop yields.
