The melon generally sells for U.S. $2 to $4 each and although Galia is currently found in some United States markets, it does not always possess the high quality consistent with that found in European markets. Achieving constant, high quality production has not been possible under normal field production in Florida, but ...

Plant physiology will probably also assume an increasingly important role in agricultural research problems. As world population increases, mankind faces enormously complex problems. One of the primary tasks of the fut and wood production substantially throughout the world. Today the application of various chemical salts to soils is a basic feature of agricultural practice. In the present work,...

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA)/greenhouse vegetable production is one of the most exacting and intense forms of all agricultural enterprises. In combination with greenhouses, hydroponics or soilless cultivation is becoming increasingly popular. It is high technology and can be capital intensive. CEA is highly productive, conservative of water and land and protective of the environment...

Soilless cultivation systems in a controlled environment are increasingly being used due to several global issues such as climate change, pest and disease problems, declining soil fertility quality limited agricultural land. Soybean is one of the potential crops that can be grown using soilless planting system environment. Therefore, study was conducted investigate effect nutrient concentration...

Growing greenhouse vegetables is one of the most exacting and intense forms of all agricultural enterprises. In combination with greenhouses, hydroponics is becoming increasingly popular, especially in the United States, Canada, western Europe, and Japan. It is high technology and capital intensive. It is highly productive, conservative of water and land and protective of the environment. For p...

Abstract The use of soilless culture in the cultivation ornamental plants is becoming widespread, especially production cut flowers. aim this review to present a brief summary both standard and new findings obtained from using techniques plant cultivation, based on detailed literature review. In researches reached for review, Calendula officinalis L., Matthiola incana Pelargonium zonale Petunia...

Based on agricultural biomass resources and utilization in Shaanxi province, this experiment used decomposing mushroom residues, pine needles, peanut shells compounded with river sand as organic cultivation substrates, compared garden soil, carried out pot experiments to study the effect of different soilless substrates tomato yield, size number. The results show that CK1 (garden soil) CK2 (dec...
