Medicinal plants are a globally important resource for the treatment of disease and improvement human health, only form healthcare used by millions people. Currently, status many medicinal species is threatened overharvesting caused increasing demand. While have been cultivated in soil, resulting material often contains lower levels compounds than that wild-harvested plants. Hydroponic cultivat...

Roots of Vetiveria zizanioides Nash (Mae Hae; Thai ecotype) planted in three different cultivation systems (normal soil, normal soil with added microbes and semi- hydroponically) were extracted using a simultaneous steam distillation and solvent extraction (SDE) apparatus. Yields of the essential oils obtained were 0.27, 0.18 and 0.06%, respectively. The separation profiles obtained by comprehe...

ABSTRACT: Acclimatization is the final phase of banana plantlet production by micropropagation. In this phase, plantlets are grown in a protected environment with high demand for water, fertilizer and labor, until reaching standard size quality required marketing. The aim study was to evaluate possibility reducing these costs duration acclimatization using hydroponic cultivation technique as co...

Conventional end‐of‐pipe solutions for wastewater treatment have been criticized from a sustainable view‐point, in particular regarding recycling of nutrients. The integration of hydroponic cultivation into a wastewater treatment system has been proposed as an ecological alternative, where nutrients can be removed from the wastewater through plant uptake; howeve...

Cultivation of vegetables with the hydroponic method is able to produce plants better quality values and efficient in land use when compared conventional ones. The comparison regarding production effectiveness nutrient uptake between two cultivation systems appears be little studied. This study aimed determine effect planting on growth romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa) pakcoy (Brassica rapa) thr...

The use of hydroponic systems for cultivation in controlled climatic conditions and the selection of suitable genotypes for the specific environment help improving crop growth and yield. We hypothesized that plant performance in hydroponics could be further maximized by exploiting the action of plant growth-promoting organisms (PGPMs). However, the effects of PGPMs on plant physiology have been...
