| Abstract:
It was studied about the distance from stem-base to nutrient solution, and the planting density for the growth of Perilla frutescens by deep flow culture in the winter season. In an experiment for the distance from stem-base to nutrient solution, leaf numbers and leaf mineral contents were not affected by the distance, but yields, root weights, stem-base circumferences, and shoot heights gave the best results in the high distance. In the planting density experiment, leaf emergence rates and shoot heights were not affected by the density. The yields per plant were much lower in 20 x 10 cm treatment, but the yields per unit area were much higher. So the cultivation brings a lot of advantage in the high density up to 20 x 10 cm. | |
