A method and system is disclosed for water-efficient water management for plants grown in at least one container. At least one water inlet and at least one drainage opening is provided for each of the containers, such that a drainage opening divides particulate material contained within a container into a lower saturated layer and an upper, relatively dry layer. A water level gauging means is provided in each container, to gauge the depth of the layer of water existing at the bottom, as well as a water control means to add water to each container as a result of the reading of the water level gauging means, so as to maintain a desired level of water at the bottom of the gauged container, without resulting in a deleterious rise in chloride level. Plagiotropically growing root hairs extend into, and are entwined with the saturated layer of particulate material to form a biomass.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système des gestion d'eau efficace destinés à des plantes poussant dans au moins un contenant. Chacun desdits contenants comprend au moins une entrée d'eau et au moins une ouverture de drainage, de telle manière qu'une ouverture de drainage divise la matière particulaire contenue à l'intérieur d'un contenant en une couche inférieure saturée et en une couche supérieure relativement sèche. Dans chaque contenant, se trouvent un dispositif de mesure du niveau d'eau permettant d'estimer la profondeur de la couche d'eau au fond du contenant, ainsi qu'un dispositif de régulation de l'eau permettant d'ajouter de l'eau à chaque contenant, après lecture du dispositif de mesure du niveau d'eau. On peut donc maintenir un niveau d'eau souhaité au fond du contenant mesuré, sans provoquer d'augmentation nocive du niveau de chlore. Les racines poussant en plagiotropie s'étendent dans la couche saturée de la matière particulaire et s'entremêlent à celle-ci pour former une biomasse.
