Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for methods and devices for reducing diseases and infestation in plants. In one embodiment, a system comprises a mobile housing that defines a region that is at least partially enclosed. The mobile housing is configured to be positioned so that a plant is disposed at least partially within the enclosed region. The system further comprises a heating unit that provides heat to the enclosed region. The system further comprises a temperature control unit that controls a temperature within the enclosed region.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a mobile housing defining a region that is at least partially enclosed, wherein the mobile housing is configured to be positioned so that a plant is disposed at least partially within the region;
- a heating unit coupled to the mobile housing, the heating unit configured to provide heat to the;
- and
- a temperature control unit configured to control a temperature within the region.
A method comprising:
- enclosing and treating a plant by a mobile housing comprising a heating unit and a temperature control unit, the mobile housing defining a region that is at least partially enclosed, wherein the mobile housing is configured to be positioned so that the plant is disposed at least partially within the region;
- and maintaining a temperature within the region using the heating unit and the temperature control unit, wherein the temperature is a predetermined temperature that reduces rate of disease in the plant.
A system, comprising:
- a mobile housing defining a region that is at least partially enclosed, wherein the mobile housing is configured to be positioned so that a plant is disposed at least partially within the region;
- a heat source comprising a steam generator configured to generate steam having a temperature, the temperature being sufficient to reduce disease in the plant;
- and
- a channel configured to transport the steam from the heat source to the region within the mobile housing.
