Abstract—In this work, an automated temporary immersion system was implemented, where blueberry and pineapple were used as test crops, achieving an economic and simple handling system compared to the existing ones. After the corresponding tests, multiplication rates of the explants between 2 and 8 were obtained, reaching a number of sprouts above 100 units, demonstrating the efficiency of the system.
