The conceptual 'Agrodome' is the design work of NOS and is a seedling or sapling support solution that will help to get as much rainwater where it's needed as possible. The device works by being positioned into the soil right over plants and features a transparent design that will allow solar rays to get through, while also allowing for enhanced breathability. Water from the rain will be captured and directed downwards when in place to dispense it right into the soil around the roots to maximize moisture absorption.
The conceptual 'Agrodome' can be removed once the plant is the right size for survival on its own and can be stacked with other units to maximize portability as well as storage.
