HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS FOR WINTER VEGETABLES |
| Author: | P. Adams |
| Abstract:
Three hydroponic systems, namely rockwool, perlite and NFT, are described. Factors affecting growth such as root temperature, water quality and aeration are discussed, together with management problems including sterilization between crops. Current sensitivity about environmental pollution is likely to cause some reduction in the use of systems that discharge nutrient solutions containing appreciable amounts of nitrate-nitrogen to waste. | |
