AdeptAg

It crosses the walkway with the water off, then picks back up over the crop.

Left and right sides run independently, so two crops under one boom each get their own recipe.

Water goes on plants instead of concrete, which also means less humidity to vent back out and a drier aisle for the people working in it. Irrigation is programmed by crop and by zone, and extra nozzles can be targeted at the areas that dry out fastest. Nozzle options cover different watering needs, and several hose management configurations are available depending on how the house is laid out.

A thousand nursery pots an hour, pulled off the stack one at a time and tipped upright ready to fill.
1-gallon through 15-gallon, with mechanical size changes.

Loading pots by hand ties up a crew member for a whole shift. The CD-X1 separates them from horizontal stacks and tips each one upright onto your inline conveyor instead. It runs 6.5 to 15 inch diameters and needs no special tooling to change size. A 10 inch colour touchscreen shows pots dispensed, runtime and machine status, and PLC control with variable frequency drives keeps the output steady. Built to UL508a and CSA C22.2 No. 14. Put it at the head of the potting line and one person can keep the whole line fed.

Twenty-five years of flood floor design, in twenty-four seconds.

Flatter floors mean better crop uniformity and less shrink. From hydrangeas to poinsettias, it all grows here.

In the early 2000s the concrete went down on an aggressive slope, because that is what the concrete of the day required. It works, but it costs you uniformity. Slopes are gentler now and the crop shows it. Floors commonly fill in 5 to 7 minutes and drain in 5 to 8, and a full recirculation system saves water and fertilizer. AdeptAg was involved in projects totaling over 25 acres of concrete flood floors in 2025, with another 20 acres underway.

One seed, one needle, one cell.

Raw petunia and marigold are the seeds that give a vacuum plate trouble. Suction needles pick them up clean, and the excess goes back in the jar.

The ANS 750 is a needle seeder. It places seed into flats or plug trays up to 24 inches wide, programmed from a 7 inch touchscreen at 1 to 99 seeds per cell, with a saved setup for every tray and seed combination you run. Single needles are standard, and up to 4 per head when the volume calls for it. Collection mode returns whatever the machine does not use, so a jar of expensive seed does not end up on the floor.

Cultivate 2025 is over and we can hardly bear it!

We hope everyone enjoyed the show, stay tuned for a recap!
