2021年2月1日 · Through this post, I will talk about how resistive sensors work, how you can identify them and why you should never use them to measure water content in your hydroponic crop. A typical resistivity sensor for measuring moisture content in soil/media

A guide to optimal water alkalinity, pH levels for certain plants in hydroponics and the difference between soil and soilless culture.

2022年8月17日 · Many hydroponic growers dump and replace nutrient solution at weekly intervals; growers using soilless media apply excess water and leach nutrients from containers, all in an effort to maintain optimal nutrition. In hydroponic systems, water removed during transpiration is often replaced with deionized water without replacing the nutrients.

The combination of Hydroponics with smart technology in farming is novel and has promise as a method for effective and environmentally friendly crop production. This technology eliminates the need for soil and reduces water usage by providing nutrients straight to the plant's roots.

2023年6月1日 · The sweet potato cultivar tolerates salt and water stress resistance in hydroponic nutrient solution supplemented 125-20-200 mg/L NPK, 2, 3, 3.5 ds/m NaCl and proline. The translocation of proline and potassium increases water and salt resistance in the plant.

2024年2月9日 · Below are the ‘typical’ resistivity values for different bodies of water, measured at 20°C (68°F). While conductivity meters are effective in assessing water quality, resistivity meters serve as reliable tools for water testing.

2024年10月31日 · Hydroponic greenhouses and vertical farms provide an alternative crop production strategy in regions that experience low temperatures, suboptimal sunlight, or inadequate soil quality. However, hydroponic systems are soilless and, therefore, have vastly different bacterial microbiota than plants grown in soil.

2023年5月22日 · By reducing water consumption, hydroponics offers resilience in regions where water scarcity is a pressing issue. Additionally, hydroponics can be implemented in urban areas or arid regions with limited access to water resources, allowing for localized food production and reducing dependence on long-distance transportation.

2024年11月8日 · Hydroponics, a soil-independent cultivation technique that uses nutrient solutions for plant growth, offers several advantages, including higher yield, lower water consumption, and reduced risks of pest attacks and diseases (Jana and Jeong 2014).

2023年12月29日 · Learn the importance of water quality in hydroponic systems. Understand how it affects plant growth, nutrient uptake, and disease prevention. Find out how to measure and maintain optimal water quality for successful hydroponic gardening.
