Aeroponics is a modern and soilless technology that used for the efficient production of pre-basic seed potatoes, namely minitubers. This study aimed to evaluate effects cultivar type planting material on minitubers in aeroponic facility Guča, Serbia, at short, 7-day harvest intervals. Although cultivation prolonged vegetative cycle all five investigated cultivars, dynamics minituber formation ...

ABSTRACT Potato seed is one of the largest costs a crop. This mostly due to incidence and spread viruses that occurs when crop grown in open field. Thus, it necessary obtain virus-free potato plantlets through meristem isolation, with subsequent cultivation protected environment, where easier control virus-spreading insects. One way increase greenhouse viability by multiplicating using high tec...

On the ever-rising urgency of global food security, efforts are required to develop a robust farming technique. This includes capability in non-agricultural land or indoor spaces. Farming air medium, i.e., aeroponic, has persistently stepped as viable solution. Aeroponic allows efficient water usage while preventing soil related diseases and pests. With assistance light emitting diodes (LEDs) p...

Aeroponic culture is an alternative method for optimizing growth of different plants in controlled conditions. Aeroponic systems are an efficient tool for the root studies and improving medicinal root production. In order to study the feasibility of valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) production in aeroponic systems and assessing the effects of different NAA concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5...

Abstract The main aim of this paper was to investigate the possibility growing basil under three soilless systems (aeroponic, hydroponic and peatmoss slab systems). A model developed predict nutrients consumption by plants. Shoot root height, fresh dry mass whole plant, uptake, oil content were studied during growth period (after 4 7 weeks from transplanting). results indicated that shoot lengt...

The therapeutic use of medicinal plants such as Echinacea, ginseng and St. John’s wort has gained widespread acceptance in North America in the last two decades. Aeroponic cultivation of medicinal plants have shown great potential for producing root yields that are cleaner, more uniform and faster maturing than can be obtained using conventional soil-based methods. Two pilot-scale commercial A-...

An experiment was conducted during 2017–18 in the aeroponic unit of ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute inShimla, Himachal Pradesh, to evaluate 3 potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivar’s, viz. Kufri Mohan, Lauvkarand Himalini growth and production behaviour under 2 different planting periods spaced 10 days apart duringthe autumnal season. The yield per plant total number mini-tubers were sho...
