Design and evaluation of slow sand and UV filters for effective nutrient recycling in closed soilless cultivation

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Nutrient and water use efficiency can be improved in soilless cultivation systems by recirculating the leachate. However, untreated leachate contains particulate matter that may clog drip emitters and root pathogens which can pose a threat to the crop ...

Enzymatic activity of anthropogenic proto-organic soils in soilless farming [PDF]

, 2017
In soilless agriculture and horticulture coir is the more used substratum to grow plants because it is widely available and more environmentally friendly than sphagnum or peat.

A Prototype Sensor for Estimating Light Interception by Plants in a Greenhouse [PDF]

, 2008
Light interception is one of the most important factors for plant growth. The intercepted amount depends on the incoming radiation in the greenhouse and the percentage of interception by the crop and is directly related to the leaf area.

Tree Cultivation in Hydroponic Systems: Effects of Substrate Type and Electrical Conductivity on Nutrient Status and Growth in Soilless Fig Tree

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
The fig tree has traditionally been cultivated in open fields for its fruit. However, recent advancements have enabled the cultivation of fruit trees in greenhouses. This study investigates the effects of hydroponic cultivation of fig trees, focusing on growth parameters and nutritional status under two substrates, coconut coir and pumice, and three ...

Landless peasants, soilless cultivation: British agricultural experimentation and intervention in post‐independence Iraq (1932–1958)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 603-610, March 2026.
‘Greening’ is often depicted as an inherently benevolent practice, turning arid stretches of land into arable and fertile plots. However, by considering a longer history of place and taking archival records into account, such transformations are rendered more complex and, often, more fraught.

Sustainable Substrate Management in Soilless Tomato Cultivation: Combined Effects of Biochar and Wood Distillate on Plant Growth and Fruit Mechanical Properties

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Tomato production increasingly requires high‐yield plants and fruits with enhanced firmness and resistance to mechanical damage in order to reduce post‐harvest losses. Pre‐harvest treatments‐ may play a key role in modulating these quality attributes.
