Sustainable agriculture relies on replacing fossil-based mineral fertilizers, which are highly cost-energetic to produce, and demand extensive use of scarce natural resources. Today, agronomic practices within the concept circular economy emerging and, as such, exploitation digestate a biofertilizer soil amender is extensively investigated. This study aimed at evaluating potential liquid sole n...

In hydroponics, the flow pattern of nutrient solution in a cultivation container affects growth plants. Even if rate is same between containers, may differ based on size and shape containers. Therefore, cannot be comprehensively described by alone. order to identify relationship plant growth, root morphology, uptake, pattern, hydroponic Swiss chard was carried out. addition, describe specific c...

ABSTRACT The slope of cultivation channels and types nutrient solutions in hydroponics aquaponics influence absorption plant production. This research aimed to evaluate lettuce production under different channel slopes hydroponic aquaponic systems using the film technique (NFT). A randomized block design was used, with three replicates, a 3 × 5 split-plot scheme, (conventional solution two wast...

Flowering Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utilis Tsen et Lee) is an original leafy vegetable from China, and it a valuable source of bioactive compounds. In the literature, there are no practical recommendations for cultivation fertilization this species. Our study aimed to investigate effect nitrogen nutrition levels (70 90 mg N per dm3) various foliar treatments (S...

There is a lot of technological buzz over the past few years regarding taking care of lettuce and hydroponic greenhouse plants and fish. We first review and discuss the recent technologies in the field of hydroponics, especially the hydroponic sensor curriculum project. The College of Engineering at The University of Akron developed a sensor that can detect hydrology, ph, electrical conductivit...

The purpose of this project was to create an educational video based upon hydroponic farming. It was created for agricultural educators, in hope high school agricultural teachers would show it in their classrooms. The goal was for students to be able to see a commercial style hydroponic system, and to understand the basic concepts of operation. The video was intended to be supplemented with add...

During the past few decades, vertical farming has attracted a lot of interest as an alternative food production method. Vertical farms use engineered growth environments and hydroponic cultivation techniques for growing plants indoors. One important factors in different is amount nutrients, which can be measured electrical conductivity (EC). Studying optimal EC avoiding nutrient loss deficiency...
