Ultrasounds represent mechanical oscillations with frequencies between 18000....100000 Hz which have been proven in recent years to have special applications in many fields such as health, aerospace, automotive, military, engineering, consumer goods industry. For all of these, there is currently a lot of research, very well documented and substantiated. In contrast to these, one of the lesser known applications refers to the ultrasonic activation of the natural system formed by plants and the soil in which they grow and develop. By applying an ultrasonic field, in the soil in the immediate vicinity of the plant roots, there is a better homogenization of the soil, a more uniform distribution of the different types of its granulations, a better adhesion of the soil on the contact surface between it and the plant roots so that the process of nutrient absorption is made more efficient. Thus, this article presents a large part of the ensemble that takes place in this environment as well as the design of an ultrasonic system capable of influencing, when introduced into the soil, the processes that take place at the interface between the soil and plant roots.
