Use of Coco peat for soilless cultivation of tomato

South Asian Journal of Experimental Biology, 2020
Soilless cultivation of tomato has been attempted with different growing media in a hydroponic system as roof-top gardening which is very important component of increasing peri urban agriculture. Tomato seedlings were grown under soilless culture supported with various growing media namely- Soil, Vermiculite, Vermicompost, Coco-peat, Perlite, Peat and ...

CLOSING THE WATER AND NUTRIENT CYCLES IN SOILLESS CULTIVATION SYSTEMS

Acta Horticulturae, 2014
Soilless cultivation systems are common in Dutch greenhouse horticulture, i.e., less than 20% of the greenhouse area is still soil grown. For long, it was assumed that in these so-called closed systems the emission of nutrients and plant protection products (PPPs) was close to zero.

MICROBIAL OPTIMISATION IN SOILLESS CULTIVATION, A REPLACEMENT FOR METHYL BROMIDE

Acta Horticulturae, 2004
In Europe the soil fumigant methyl bromide is still in use to control soil-borne diseases in greenhouses and open air vegetables. Methyl bromide is extremely toxic and environmental harmful. Countries under the Montreal protocol are demanded to reduce the use of methyl bromide with respect to the average use between 1991 and 1994 resulting in a total ...

COMPARISON OF SOIL AND SOILLESS CULTIVATION OF CARNATION IN ISPARTA PROVINCE

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
This study was carried out to compare crop yield and produce quality in soil and soilless culture of carnation conducted in Isparta Province, where summer season carnation has been cultivated in Turkey since 2000. Standard carnation varieties (‘Turbo’ and ‘Oasis’) were grown on beds containing pumice and the production of flowers and their quality ...

The Cultivation of Roses on Soilless Culture

2014
Soilless culture is a plant growing techniques without traditional agricultural soil. In the early 1960s it was used in Europe for the first time. Soil salinity, poor soil, soil-borne diseases and pests, water shortage, etc. are reasons for making the soilless culture. This technique can be divided in two main groups: Substrate culture and Hydroponics (

Lignite as a new medium in soilless cultivation of tomato

Journal of Elementology, 2015
Thus far, lignite has not been used as a growing medium in soilless cultivation. The aim of the research conducted in 2011-2013 was to develop a new growing medium made of lignite, and to determine the suitability of such a medium to prolonged soilless cultivation of tomato under greenhouse conditions. Lumps of lignite were crashed and sifted to obtain

Nutrient uptake of pepino plants in soilless cultivation

The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, 2001
This study addresses vegetative growth and the uptake of nutrients and their accumulation in the vegetative and reproductive tissues of pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.). The study was conducted in soilless plastic house conditions, with a planting density equivalent to 25 000 plants ha(-1) during two seasons (1997-98 and 1998-99).
