The object of the invention is to provide a process and a device for hydroponic raising of plants in a vegetal vessel filled up with a substrate, by conveying a nutrient solution into the roots feeding zone, wherein the supply of the nutrient solution is carried out by way of aerosol irrigation of the substrate surface at time intervals and with the periodicity and duration of irrigation depending on ambient air temperature. The device for the implementation of the process comprises a collector of the nutrient solution, a pump, a vegetal vessel with a drain connection, the upper portion of which accommodates a distributor of the nutrient solution made in the form of a tube which lower part is perforated, the tube being placed at a distance from the substrate surface, the total area of the openings in the distributor tube being smaller than the cross-sectional area of the drain connection. The use of the invention gives way to a 20 to 30 per cent increase of the crop capacity, compared to known processes and devices in the field of hydroponics. It also decreases the frequency of sickness and loss of plants.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour la culture hydroponique de plantes dans un contenant végétal rempli d'un substrat, par acheminement d'une solution nutritive jusqu'à la zone d'enracinement, la solution nutritive étant entraînée depuis la surface du substrat sous l'effet d'une irrigation par aérosol effectuée par intervalles, la longueur des intervalles et la durée de l'irrigation dépendant de la température de l'air ambiant. Le dispositif permettant de réaliser le procédé comprend un collecteur de solution nutritive, une pompe, un contenant végétal avec raccord d'évacuation logeant dans sa partie supérieure un distributeur de solution nutritive qui a la forme d'un tube perforé dans sa partie inférieure, ce tube étant placé à une certaine distance de la surface du substrat, et la surface totale des perforations étant moindre que celle de la section du raccord d'évacuation. Par comparaison aux procédés et dispositifs hydroponiques actuels, cette invention permet d'accroître de 20 à 30 % la production et de réduire la fréquence des maladies ainsi que les pertes de plants.
