ADVANTAGES GAINED BY CONTROLLING ROOT GROWTH IN A NEWLY-DEVELOPED HYDROPONIC GROWING SYSTEM |
| Author: | J. Benton Jones Jr |
| Abstract:
A new hydroponic growing system named Aqua Nutrient Growing System is described. This system is based on the concept that constant supply of water and a low constant supply of nutrients are sufficient to sustain plant growth. In the Aqua Nutrient Growing System, plants are grown in a confined vessel with the constant maintenance of a Hoagland based nutrient solution at the bottom of the growing vessel. The container restricts root growth which may contribute to increased top growth and fruit yield. Other advantages associated with the new system are also discussed. | |
