Effect of soilless media on nutrient uptake and yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020 Soilless culture provides an alternative to soil culture when serious soil problems (i.e. soil borne pests, soil salinity, chemical residues in soil, lack of fertile soil) create difficulties in traditional soil-based production.

Advances in soilless culture of ornamentals
, 2021 In the production of cut flowers and pot plants there are slow developments towards closed growing systems with recirculation of the surplus nutrient solution. In some countries, such as in The Netherlands, legislation to reduce discharges is a steering factor, as well as the advantages of a disease free start, higher potential production and quality ...
