Nutrient Solution Culture for Crop Cultivation

    The development of an ideal nutrient solution culture technique for crop production requires a greenhouse equipped with well-designed facilities, including hardware, solution-delivery pipelines and software. Knowledge of crops, crop variety, growth stages and climatic needs are important for the successful development of appropriate nutrient solution recipes for the production of greenhouse crops. In addition, it also requires the application of techniques for the use of nutrient solutions, and the ability to monitor the varied problems associated with the production of many different crops. Thus, the successful application of nutrient solution techniques for crop production requires the close cooperation of specialists, including horticulturists, plant pathologists, entomologists, agricultural engineers and others.

  • Tissue cultured seedlings are grown in an automated rock-wool nutrient solution system.
    Tissue cultured seedlings of Calla lilies grown in a rock-wool nutrient solution in a greenhouse. This culturing method significantly shortens the time required for the production of first generation bulbs (insert photo) for use in the cut flower industry.
    Seedlings of <i>Anthurium andrenum</i> in a rock-wool nutrient solution cultured for 6 months showing lavish plant growth and good root development (insert photo). The liquid culture technique significantly reduced the time required for the production of this crop.
  • Nutrient solution culture in peat moss enabled year-round production of high quality oriental lilies for the cut flower industry.
    Nutrient solution application (drip-pipeline vs. conventional spraying) methods affected the growth of <i>Phalaenopsis</i> orchids, with drip-pipeline applications providing greater uniformity of growth and synchronization of floral stalk appearance.
    A sophisticated technique for management of liquid fertilizer, developed for the cultivation of roses for the cut flower industry. This technique effectively prevents nutrient disorders that are so commonplace in conventional rose cultivation methods. The liquid fertilizer can be applied to soil or medium culture for growing roses with high yield and good quality.
