The selection of adequate substrate for soilless culture is based on technical and economic considerations. Therefore, the search alternatives by valorization natural by-products gaining importance. main objective this study was to compare effects local farm resources, date-palm waste, as substrate, coconut fiber (CF) (commonly used in culture) melon (Cucumis melo L.) plant growth, water relati...

Farmers usually apply more chemical fertilizers to enhance the yield of strawberries in soilless culture. Humic substances and biofertilizers are now considered essential nutrient sources sustainable agriculture. The objective greenhouse experiment was observe effect humic fulvic acid (humic substances), biofertilizer on root growth, nitrogen (N) phosphor (P) growing media, populations N-fixing...

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum is considered a drought and saline stress-tolerant plant with many biological activities that has been revalued as cool flavouring plant. The objective of this work was to assess optimum mode cultivation M. produce edible parts under greenhouse conditions. Therefore, three soilless media were evaluated: peat, vermiculite hydroponic culture. Pot culture in peat did ...

One of the most important problems encountered in cultivation cut flower gladiolus is soil-borne diseases and pests. This problem substantially reduces yield quality. Soilless culture very limited for it has not been studied extensively. The characteristics growing media used soilless either directly or indirectly affect Therefore, quite essential to determine appropriate cultivation. At same t...

Soilless growing systems can improve water-use efficiency, especially in closed soilless systems. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects different transplanting conditions, and determine how supplying H2O2 as an oxygen source rhizosphere strawberry plants a system affects plant growth, fruit yield quality. Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. ‘Fortuna’ were cultivated ...

the asiatic hybrid lily, a bulbous ornamental plant, has a special position in the horticulture as cut flower. to overcome some problems in nutrition of bulb flowers, the use of hydroponic system and nutrient solution is important in the cultivation of these flowers. the asiatic hybrid lilium bulbs “tresor” cultivar, used for the current research were planted under 3 different calcium levels in...

Soilless cultivation systems were primarily developed in response to the excessive spread of soil pathogens; however, they also allow an optimal control plant grow, high productivity and product quality as well very efficiency water fertilizer use. At same time, consumers remain critical towards soilless-cultivated vegetables, mainly due perception these techniques unnatural, resulting from art...
