Nutrient uptake of pepino plants in soilless cultivation
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).

ABSTRACT Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) establish beneficial associations with plants, enhancing nutrient uptake, growth, and stress tolerance. Cannabis sativa L., a medicinal plant producing over 300 specialized metabolites with relevant medicinal properties, remains underexplored for PGPR influence on its metabolism.

Development of an NFT system of soilless culture for the tropics [PDF]
The development of a soilless crop culture system based upon the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) was studied. The conventional polythene gullies used for the NFT in temperate regions were found not suitable for the hot tropical climate.

Economic Viability of Aquaponics Across Global Climate Zones: A Meta‐Analytical Assessment
ABSTRACT Aquaponic systems are emerging as sustainable agricultural solutions that conserve water and recycle waste, enabling food cultivation in urban, rural, and arid regions. They are increasingly advocated across diverse contexts, yet adoption remains limited due to concerns about economic viability stemming from huge capital investment and low ...

Water salinity is a major challenge for Jordanian farmers in the Jordan Valley negatively impacting crop yield and soil health. One potential solution to this issue is electronic water treatment (EWT): a novel technology that uses radio wave transmissions to alter the electric charge of dissolved ions and prevent the build‐up of salt compounds.

Hydroponics or Soilless Culture [PDF]
Historically, hydroponics is not a new field; plant physiologists have known and used it for some 100 years. Inevitably, some enthusiasts got carried away.Claims were made of enormous potential yields; skyscraper tops were said to be capable of producing
