ABSTRACT:
A nutrient control system for nourishing plants. An injector provides a quantity of nourishment having individual concentrations of specific nutrients. A conduit distributes the quantity of nourishment to the plants. First storage memory stores initial data relating to the plants being nourished. A computer selects the amounts of specific nutrients and selects the quantity of nourishment to be applied to the plants based on the initial data in the first storage memory and, responsive to the selection, controls the injector to adjust the individual concentrations of the specific nutrients and the quantity of nourishment to be supplied to the plants as a function of the selected amounts of the specific nutrients and the selected quantity of nourishment.
