Abstract The main aim of this paper was to investigate the possibility growing basil under three soilless systems (aeroponic, hydroponic and peatmoss slab systems). A model developed predict nutrients consumption by plants. Shoot root height, fresh dry mass whole plant, uptake, oil content were studied during growth period (after 4 7 weeks from transplanting). results indicated that shoot lengt...

soilless culture of greenhouse vegetables has been a fast developing section in iran during recent years. most growers fertigate plants without enough knowledge about plant water requirements. since some soilless substrates have low water retention capacity, wasting a great amount of nutrient solution can be occurred due to poor management. in this research work, effects of hydro gel amendment ...

Cyanobacteria are found to be renewable and sustainable additives for growth improvement in crops. Extracts biomass of three nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria namely, Roholtiella sp. (QUCCCM97), Nostoc ellipsosporum (QUCCCM99), Desmonostoc danxiaense (QUCCCM112) isolated from Qatar desert environment were tested their ability enhance the bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings. Soilless cultivat...
