An illustrative embodiment of an irrigation system may include a carriage that may move along a predetermined path in a reciprocal manner. The carriage may support one or more exit ports that may be fed nutrient supply by a pressurized delivery arrangement. One or more plant stands may be configured and arranged to straddle the carriage as it moves along the predetermined path. The one or more plant stands may form a chamber into which plant roots may extend, and into which the one or more exit ports may discharge their nutrient supply. The one or more plant stands may include side panels and a cap to reduce infiltration of light and contaminants and to enhance the plant root/nutrient supply interface and absorption rates. The carriage and/or the plant stand(s) may include friction reducing elements that facilitate transverse movement. The carriage and/or the plant stand(s) may be supported by framework.一灌溉系統之一說明性實施例可包含可沿著一預定路徑以一往復方式移動之一托架。該托架可支撐可藉由一經加壓遞送配置來進給營養物供應之一或多個排出口。一或多個植物攀援架可經組態及配置以在該托架沿著該預定路徑移動時橫跨該托架上。該一或多個植物攀援架可形成一室，植物根可延伸至該室中且該一或多個排出口可將其營養物供應排放至該室中。該一或多個植物攀援架可包含若干側面板及一帽蓋以減少光及污染物之滲透且增強植物根/營養物供應界面及吸收速率。該托架及/或該(等)植物攀援架可包含促進橫向移動之摩擦減少元件。該托架及/或該(等)植物攀援架可由構架支撐。
