One of the major challenges that global society is facing nowadays finding sustainable and safe methods for crop growth development. Besides traditional crops cultivated worldwide (tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, strawberries, etc.), there a general trend in exploitation polyvalent plants. Mulberry (Morus spp.) faced no exception; with its undeniable proprieties, it became suitable not only to be ...

High electrical conductivity (EC) in cultivation systems with the recirculating nutrient solutions can affect plant growth and development. This study aimed to investigate effect of salicylic acid (SA) on selected physiological biochemical parameters sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) growing aeroponically at standard high concentrations nutritive solutions. Four experimental variants were tested...

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...

The aeroponic production of certified seed potatoes is a booming alternative for arid and semi-arid areas where fresh water scarce soil-borne diseases nematodes preclude field production. Although widely used in aeroponics, nutrient-solution salinity effects have not been evaluated potatoes. This study aimed to (1) establish the best two nutrient solutions (Otazú vs. modified Furlani) at 20, 50...

The atomized nutrient solution droplet sizes and spraying intervals can impact the chemical properties of solution, biomass yield, root-to-shoot ratio uptake aeroponically cultivated plants. In this study, four different nozzles having N1 = 11.24, N2 26.35, N3 17.38 N4 4.89 µm were selected misted at three 30, 45 60 min, with a 5 min time. measured parameters power hydrogen (pH) electrical cond...

Aeroponics is a soilless cultivation technology integrating plant nutrition, physiology, ecological environment, agricultural automation and horticulture. One of the advantages that non-invasive observation root system growth development possible. This paper presents vegetative evaluation lettuce plants in an aeroponic chamber, where leaf parameters were measured three crops through images capt...
