Aquaponics is the integration of recirculating aquaculture and hydroponics in one production system. Although the production of fish and vegetables is the most visible output of aquaponic units, it is essential to understand that aquaponics is the management of a complete ecosystem that includes three major groups of organisms: fish, plants and bacteria. This document provides recommendations o...

Borage is an important medicinal plant which must be cultivated commercially in order to meet the ever-increasing demand for pharmaceutical industry. This study was done under hydroponics condition. Seeds of Borage were obtained from Neka Research Center (North of Iran). After applying Benomyl fungicide, the seeds were rinsed with distilled water and planted in vermiculite. After germination an...

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations, world population will reach nine billion people in 2050, which 75% live urban settlements. One biggest challenges be meeting demand for food, as farmland is being lost climate change, water scarcity, soil pollution, among other factors. In this context, hydroponics, an agricultural method that dispenses with soil, provides a ...

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...

Soybeans grown in controlled environments are commonly taller than field-grown plants. In controlled environments, including liquid hydroponics, height of the dwarf cultivar "Hoyt" was reduced from 46 to 33 cm when plants were grown under metal halide lamps compared to high pressure sodium lamps at the same photosynthetic photon flux. Metal halide lamps reduced total biomass 14% but did not sig...

Microfibers (MFs) are one of the most prevalent microplastic (MP) sub-groups found in aquatic environment released from many sources, including household laundry. MPs pose risks to growth rate terrestrial/aquatic biota and through biomagnification. Although MFs can be ingested by humans, their toxic effects potential impact on public health not yet clearly understood. Moreover, removal MPs, MFs...
