A system for and a method of making growth and thriving conditions more favourable for grass plants in grass pitches of the type used as football pitches and for other sports, are described. The system and the method are especially intended to be put into use for treatment of grass pitches that are put partly in the shade by high, covered stands (12, 18; 14, 20; 16, 22). Another criterion for requiring additional lighting etc. is seasons with short days. This system for making growth/thriving conditions distinguishes itself by comprising and moving at least one lighting unit (24), preferably also having other functions (water/air supply, ventilation, lawn clean-up and more). so as to be able to exhibit the characteristics of a mobile greenhouse/hothouse.
A system for making the growth conditions for grass plants and similar plants more favourable, which plants form part of an outdoor/indoor grass pitch/utility lawn area of natural grass in the form of a football pitch (12) or similar sports/athletics arena formed from grass, which system comprises a travelling lighting unit (16) that in addition to light sources (15) may be equipped like a greenhouse/hothouse with a supply of water/air etc., characterised in that the lighting unit(16), the periphery of which is preferably designed and dimensioned so as to essentially correspond to the grass pitch that in addition to any other treatment is to be lit artificially, can travel in the heightwise direction between a lowermost, active position in which the grass pitch is lit and an uppermost, inactive position by means of a hoisting apparatus (10, 20, 22, 24, 28;
A method of making the growth conditions for grass plants and similar plants more favourable, which plants form part of a utility lawn of natural grass in the form of a football pitch, and where a lighting unit (16) that may be equipped with devices for other fuctions favourable to the growth of grass, such as watering, drying, ventilation etc., travels between an active position for lighting etc. and an inactive ready position relative to the grass pitch, characterised in that the lighting unit (16), which is oriented in a horizontal position and has been given a peripheral shape and size that essentially correspond to the shape and size of the grass pitch, travels in the heightwise direction between said extreme positions.
