Use of Compost in Soilless Cultivation

Compost Science & Utilization, 1997
An experiment was performed with compost prepared from bark and sewage sludge to evaluate its suitability for amending growing media used in the soilless cultivation of cucumber (Cucumuis sativus), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), strawberry (Fragaria vesca) and Gerbera daisy (Gerbera jamesonii).

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 ...

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 (
