Modeling Nutrient Uptake and Prolonged Use of Nutrient Solutions in Soilless Tomato Culture

Effect of Different Nutrient Solutions on The Yield, Chemical Composition and Nitrate Accumulation of Lettuce in Soilless Culture System

An experiment was conducted to select the optimum nutrient solution for growing lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) under hydroponic conditions (open system) and Shahrekord climate, as a completely randomized design with five different nutrient solutions and three replicates, in Shahrekord University. The nutrient solutions were: 1) Research Station for Floriculture and Greenhouse Vegetables (the Nethe...

Computer Program for the Calculation of Nutrient Solutions Used in Soilless Culture

Nutrient use and uptake in Pinus taeda.

We quantified nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) content, use (nutrient amount for one growth year), retranslocation (nutrients recycled before foliage senescence), uptake (use minus retranslocation), volume production per unit of uptake and fertilizer-uptake efficiency (percent applied taken up) in a 2 x 2 (nutrient and water) factorial experiment repl...

Plant nutrient uptake in recirculation culture of tomato under growth stage based electrical conductivity adjustments

* Corresponding author ([email protected]) Abstract: Recirculation (closed) type hydroponics, despite its comparative eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness, is less popular in greenhouse agriculture due to the need for close monitoring of nutrient availability within the fertigation cycle. As a practicable and low cost measure, the uptake volume based supplementation of plant nutrients at hi...

Electrical Conductivity of Nutrient Solution, Plant Growth and Fruit Quality of Soilless Grown Tomato

Tomato plants (cv. Naomi) were grown until the 8 cluster in a greenhouse during Aug. 1998 – Jan. 1999 using a closed sub-irrigated soilless system. Plants were raised in pots (10 L) filled with peat and pomice (1:2 v:v) substrate. Forty days after transplanting 3 nutrient solutions (NS) with electrical conductivity (EC) of 2, 4, and 6 dS/m were applied to the plants. The ECs were achieved by pr...
