Mineral and organic growing media have distinct community structure, stability and functionality in soilless culture systems
The choice of soilless growing medium for plant nutrition, growth and support is crucial for improving the eco-sustainability of the production in horticultural systems. As our current understanding of the functional microbial communities inhabiting this ecosystem is still limited, we examined the microbial community development of the two most important growing media (organic and mineral) used...
متن کاملGrowing Plants in Soilless Culture: Operational Conclusions
The previous chapters present various specific facets of soilless plant production, representing the state of the art and include some perspectives on the direction in which the field is moving. In some cases, gaps in knowledge were pointed out and required future research was suggested. Generally the chapters focus on particular facets of a system whose full complexity was beyond the scope of ...
متن کاملMolecular Fingerprinting of Microbial Populations in Soilless Culture Systems
The molecular fingerprinting technique (PCR-DGGE) of microbial populations was successfully adopted for soilless culture systems. Relatively low concentrations of microorganisms in the nutrient solutions could be assessed. PCR-DGGE was applied in several experiments to compare the composition and diversity of the bacterial populations in different treatments, as well as at different locations a...
متن کاملContinuous culture used for media optimization.
A technique is described in which continuous culture is used for the optimization of media in terms of growth-supporting ability. The technique consists of identifying growth-limiting nutrients by observing the reaction of the continuous system to injection of suspected growth-limiting nutrients into the growth vessel.
متن کاملSignificance of Soilless Culture in Agriculture
Although we normally think about soilless culture as a modern practice, growing plants in containers aboveground has been tried at various times throughout the ages. The Egyptians did it almost 4000 years ago. Wall paintings found in the temple of Deir el Bahari (Naville 1913) showed what appears to be the first documented case of container-grown plants (Fig. 1.1). They were used to transfer ma...
