The objective of this work was to test a closed soilless growing system for producing bare root transplants and runner tips of two strawberry clones, using two categories of substrates. The system used corrugated roofing panels of fiber‐cement, over which a substrate layer was used as a growing bed. The nutrient solution was pumped from a reservoir toward the upper end of the roofing panels and...

The aim of this research was to evaluate butterhead lettuce quality in a soilless culture system. Butterhead lettuce cultivar “Lores” was cultivated, and two experiments were performed. In the first, floating system (FS) and soil culture (SC) were compared in fall (autumn) prduction [2002 2003], while in the second, substrate culture (PC) (plastic gutter filled with perlite) with three differen...

Lumsden, R. D., and Locke, J. C. 1989. Biological control of damping-off caused by Pythium ultimum and Rhizoctonia solani with Gliocladium virens in soilless mix. Phytopathology 79:361-366. Gliocladium virens controlled damping-off of zinnia, cotton, and Disease control efficacy lasted for at least 2 mo when G. virens was cabbage caused by Pythium ultimum or Rhizoctonia solani in nonsterile int...

The molecular fingerprinting technique (PCR-DGGE) of microbial populations was successfully adopted for soilless culture systems. Relatively low concentrations of microorganisms in the nutrient solutions could be assessed. PCR-DGGE was applied in several experiments to compare the composition and diversity of the bacterial populations in different treatments, as well as at different locations a...

Agricultural activities in Europe cover half of the total area continent and are simultaneously a cause environmental impact victims same impact. Horticultural or fruit crops considered highly intensive often employ many crop inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, various materials. Strawberry falls into this group, it has grown acreage production more than others globally. The aim study is to...
