the most important limiting factor for mass production of mycorrhizal fungi inoculums and subsequently their use in arable soil is obligate nature of this symbiosis. to overcome this problem, several methods such as hydroponic ,aeroponic, and root organ culture have been proposed for spore production of these fungi. each of these methods has several capabilities and limiting factors.  the goal ...

Food security is one of the key global challenges in this century. In Singapore, our research team has been using novel aeroponic technology to produce fresh vegetables since 1997. Aeroponic systems allow for year-round production not only tropical, but also sub-tropical and temperate vegetables, by simply cooling roots suspended while aerial parts grow under tropical ambient environments. It u...

In an aeroponic system, nutrients are directly delivered to the plant roots, which results in faster growth of crops. Furthermore, aeroponics has been extensively used as a research tool for many difficult-to-propagate species. The present investigation shows that plants grown under system were recorded maximum all parameters except leaf area was found nursery conditions. Among treatments, T3 (...

Aeroponic planting is proved to be the one of the most efficient growing environments for many vegetable crops. In this technique, plants are cultivated in absence of soil and the required nutrients are directly supplied to the roots through a fogging system. In modern sprayers, water is atomized by means of ultrasound waves. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ultraso...
