Abstract
Devices and methods for promoting the growth of plants, which transport the plants using a conveyor belt where roots of the plants protrude into a region located below a lower surface of the conveyor belt and at least parts of leaves and/or fruits of the plants protrude into a region located above an upper surface of the conveyor belt which opposes the lower surface. The conveyor path moves along a closed circular or oval path such that a deflection occurs in the region of an upper deflection point and in the region of a lower deflection point, which interconnect vertical sections.
