Decision support for optimised irrigation scheduling [PDF]
The system, developed under the FLOW-AID (an FP6 project), is a farm level water management system of special value in situations where the water availability and quality is limited.

Abstract Urban agriculture has emerged as a practical strategy to strengthen local food systems in cities with limited land availability. Rooftop gardening, in particular, offers opportunities for fresh vegetable production, but the sustainability of this practice depends heavily on soil media preparation.

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

Epidemiological Insights Into Water and Soil‐Mediated Transmission of Tomato Mottle Mosaic Virus
Water and growing substrate can serve as reservoirs for tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) inoculum. ToMMV can survive in water for up to 27 weeks. ToMMV infects bait plants through roots within 5–17 weeks, depending on the severity of root damage. A rapid, field‐deployable RPA test—requiring no RNA extraction—offers sensitivity comparable to RT‐qPCR ...

The effects of Fe-chelate type and PH on substrate grown roses [PDF]
Substrate grown roses appear to be susceptible to chlorosis, which indicates problems with Fe or Mn uptake and hence yield reduction. In common practice this problem is often treated by the addition of extra Fe-chelate, or the use of Fe-EDDHA instead of ...

L‐Glutamine Modulates Root Architecture and Hormonal Balance in Arabidopsis
ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) availability is a key determinant of plant growth and development. Here, we investigate how different N sources shape Arabidopsis thaliana root system architecture, metabolism and hormone dynamics. L‐glutamine (L‐GLN) significantly enhances root biomass compared to nitrate (KNO3) without compromising shoot growth.

Advances in soilless culture of ornamentals
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 ...

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.
