1 COMPANY PRESENTATION The Aeroponic technology is one of the most recent and promising frontiers of research in vegetable crops, in floriculture, in biomass and production highly nutritious used to raise livestock. This works in the absence of substrate closed-cycle out of the soil. This is a very advanced farming techniques, to raise plants without soil.

2 The plants are supported by elements called Port plant, at the same time the roots are in contact only with the air and on them, is nebulized the nutrient solution that contain every macro and micro elements present in nature in the soil and necessary for the growth of the plant. AEROPONICA INDUSTRIALE Applied rationally allows to obtain: Large increase in quantities and quality of production; Significant reductions in use of labor, use of fertilizer and water; Drastic reductions about energy consumption in greenhouse cultivation; Rationally use of the surfaces cultivable. So we can regardless of soil fertility and we can prevent operations related to it. Also, we can condition every parameters of the nutrition (nutrient concentration and their reports reciprocal, PH, EC, temperature, etc.) to obtain maximum cultural results.

3 GREEN PONIC PROCESS The company has patented an Aeroponic system called GREEN PONIC PROCESS That can optimized benefits of the cultivation out of soil and at the same time, to resolve limits to obtain an extraordinary report cost-benefits. The system combines the evolution of scientific research and industrial organization, gaining an advantage, in terms of costs and benefits, without which Aeroponic would remain confined to the limbo of pure scientific dialectic. A unique feature that, in addition to increasing the economic value of this system, it makes the industry leader in terms of environmental protection, it s the implementation of "CLOSED CYCLE". It is to reuse the nutrient solution, nebulized and is not absorbed, through ducts drainage basins in the reported mixing and put back into circulation, after having carefully sterilized. Besides saving water, the "closed cycle" allows you to follow the laws already existing at EU level ban on the release of chemical pollutants in soil and satisfy the care and sensitivity of government and public opinion toward the issue of water resources. The absence of land and any other substrate drastically reduces the problems of asphyxiation andthe onset of diseases related to root systems. In addition, the high degree of aeration roots and the perfect management of irrigation shifts, (through industrial PLCs) make the system plantroot system poorly suited to the development of fungal diseases and to the formation of seaweed. This results in the reduction of pesticide treatments.

4 VANTAGES The system developed allows you to: Minimize unproductive tares in the greenhouse; Reach a constant and uniform illumination level; Product, with the same system, a lot of horticultural and floricultural variety with high quality; Reduce the use of pesticides of 100% to create a product biologically perfect; Reduce the use of chemical fertilizer of 90%; avoid any contamination of ground water and of environment through the system "closed cycle"; having the time of transplantation and change of culture unimaginable (it removes the old plant, it sanitizes and replants all within 5 minutes); eliminate the problem of algae and radical putrefaction and collar; provide extreme simplicity of installation, maintenance, automation systems; modernize and facilitate the organization of agricultural labor; increase environmental protection by avoiding the dispersal of fertilizers in the soil, herbicides and pesticides; using a nutrient solution "ad hoc" for each type of cultivation; save energy, manpower, and water up to '80%; Check th system through a computer the full cycle of climatic and nutritional production; Total absence of waste material; By making best use of the results obtained from the study "closed cycle" has been studied a structure capable of maximizing the productive yield and the quality of the final product.

5 THE SYSTEM By making best use of the results obtained from the study "closed cycle" has been studied a PVC frame that can maximize yield and quality of work. These structures are, of length, width and variable depth depending on the specific needs. PVC is an indestructible material that you buy once and do not require any type of maintenance, only the normal cleaning operations at the end of culture, also, in the case of disposal of the greenhouse, can be given to specialized companies and reused. The structure is composed of a duct covered by panels, the panels are in turn incised with holes dedicated to each type of cultivation where the plants are placed in bare root. The nutrient solution is pumped into mixing tanks and fog on the roots thanks to the passage of pipes provided with nebulizers that depart from the head to the end of duct ring. Here is located a floor drain connected to a drainage tube which shows the nutrient solution in the settling tanks and relaunched thus making the "closed cycle". To guarantee the maximum efficiency and improve the organoleptic qualities of the production, the nutrient solution, is integrated according to the needs

6 of plants and in relation to the vegetative stage. THE CONTROL SYSTEM The system of control is constituted by a digital electronic device that uses a memory programmable for storing information and instructions, designed to achieve specific functions requests to the end of the control of the plant and the process controller (PLC). The instrumentation was designed to be easy to use but at the same time technologically advanced. GREEN PONIC PROCESS is equipped with a software able to systematically control and in real time, the different climatic parameters and the nutrient solution. The program is extremely simplified and virtually "self-determined" by the processor that performs completely all the control functions of the greenhouse, the management of the plants "Monitoring it themselves" and can do a "self-correction", if necessary, thanks to its parameters control. It s customizable and comes with all the functionality needed to manage the greenhouse, including which: irrigation management (pumping, flow, drainage, conditioners, curves, tanks, etc...) fertilizer management; personalized management of alarms; the historical record of events; PC management, sms and external modules; interface "touch-screen"; Remote control and remote management by internet.

7 THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The management system is based on a PC internally developed in terms of both hardware and software. The unique features that distinguish it from all other management systems available are: the small size of the system - does not occupy any space available for growing and can be easily located in an area of unproductive or even hung from the walls of the greenhouse. The surprising thing is that the small size allows an innumerable amount of tasks that no other system at present can play as well as easy maintenance; the easy use by the operators; The system manages both the environment and tackling greenhouse environmental parameters (temperature, brightness, humidity, CO2) in both the plant by controlling the EC, the PH and the temperature of the nutrient solution and acting on the respective controls for changing the parameters. It also stores all statistical data in real time, creating graphs and tables for rapid consultation and maintaining an archive of the entire crop. This function is particularly interesting for research institutions that can, for the first time world, precisely control the mineral uptake in correlation factors environment.

8 PRODUCTION AREAS The various types cultivated in GREEN PONIC PROCESS may be: Vegetables (Tomato, Eggplant, Pepper, Cucumber, Zucchini, Lettuce, Chicory, Cauliflower,Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Melon,, Basil, Parsley, Celery, Saffron, Cabbage, Lettuce from Mowing, String Bean, Watermelon, Onion, etc ) Flower (Carnation Mediterranean, Giant Carnation, Gerbera, Chrysanthemum, Tulips, Narcissus, Rose, Iris, Gladiolus, Freesia, Lillium, etc ) Fruit (Table Grapes, Raspberries, Strawberry etc ) Biomass (Rape, etc ) ANCESTOR: THE HYDROPONIC In hydroponics, the functions that are generally carried out from the soil such as support, water supply and reserve of nutrients for the plant, are constituted by an artificial substrate and a nutrient solution that ensures availability of water and minerals salts. In general the system has revealed important limitations that can be substantially summarized as follows: 1. Economic factors - high production costs due to unproductive tares (which can reach up to 40-50% of the cultivable surface), in addition to the high cost of implementation and management. 2. Environmental Factors - The use of nutrient solutions to losing causes two types of environmental damage: in a side the release of leachate in the ground which still contains relatively high levels of chemical elements pollutants, and the other side a significant waste of water. To understand the extent of environmental damage in the soil caused by the release of nutrient solution is not reused just think that every cycle production, such as tomato, releases into the environment from 300 to 500 l/m2) of

9 nutrient solution that corresponds to 7-10 t / ha / year of fertilizers. This leads to accumulation of hazardous chemicals such as, for example nitrogen leaching from fields which causes accumulation in groundwater. In addition, in hydroponics it is still necessary to use chemical treatments because of humid environments in whose work continues and diseases that can easily grow in them. A second order of environmental problems in the disposal of material for the support of the plants used in hydroponics, in particular rock wool, which assumes at least disposal costs very high. 3. Logistical factors - Hydroponic systems have a complex level of "competition" between the supporting elements of the plants and minerals used in the nutrient solution which is retained in excessively from the first, unbalancing consequently the nutrient supply and complicating the whole phase of cultivation. Also arise in other factors about hydroponics, such as radical putrefaction due to deficiency of oxygen to the roots and the formation of algae. THE AEROPONIC HAS SOLVED ALL THIS! SYNERGY The technology can be used synergistically in other sectors such as energy renewable and livestock: Biogas - The system is suitable to be integrated with Biogas systems, from which the fumes yield at very high temperatures that would otherwise be discarded in the environment, through a dedicated pipeline system, a control and an adequate filtration, place the aeroponic system, using this resource, both for the heating of the environment and for heating the circulating nutrient solution. Photovoltaics - The proposed greenhouses are designed to be integrated with photovoltaic panels. The objective is to get the maximum state incentives, and have a technology innovative production. Biomass - The biomass production in aeroponics is certainly surprising, for small spaces, saving production costs, high productivity per square meter. and income. Breeding - The use of aeroponic technology contributes to the extraordinary quality of production of food for cattle and horses: biological products always available at competitive prices.
