Performance of Greenhouse-Grown Beit Alpha Cucumber in Pine Bark and Perlite Substrates Fertigated with Biofloc Aquaculture Effluent

Biofloc Production Systems for Aquaculture

Biofloc systems were developed to improve environmental control over production. In places where water is scarce or land is expensive, more intensive forms of aquaculture must be practiced for cost-effective production. There are strong economic incentives for an aquaculture business to be more efficient with production inputs, especially the most costly (feed) and most limiting (water or land)...

Hydroponically Produced Mini-cucucmber with Improved Powdery Mildew Resistance

Additional Index Words. Cucumis sativus L., greenhouse, protected culture, beit alpha cucumber Abstract. The Beit Alpha (BA) cucumber is a new commodity for the Florida greenhouse industry. In past trials, BA cultivar production and quality were compared to traditional ‘Dutch’ or European cucumber cultivars. The cv. Sarig, a BA-type, produced three times more yield than the Dutch-type cv. Kalun...

effect of particle size distribution of perlite and its mixture with organic substrates on cucumber in hydroponics system

the selection of a growing medium is one of the most important decisions in the culture of hydroponic crops. in order to select a suitable medium for hydroponic cucumber (cucumis sativus l. cv. negin), an experiment was carried out on growing media containing different particle sizes of perlite and organic substrates in a run-to-waste system in a greenhouse experiment. the growing media tested ...
