Abstract:
Hydroponics is a method of cultivating plants without the use of soil. Soil acts as a growth medium which gives plants stability, provides nutrients and allows roots to be kept wet without drowning. In hydroponics the soil’s functions are replaced by synthesized methods. Stability comes from a substrate (i.e. LECA, rockwool perlite).The 16 essential nutrients are solved in water which are distributed to plants’ roots by different techniques. To generate photosynthesis natural light is replaced by artificial light, especially red light in the proximity of 660 nm. Hydroponics has been used as a

Abstract:
Research in the field of hydroponics from the second half of 20th century and 21st century described how the components of hydroponic systems are related to each other and established a basis for construction and operation of complex and reliable systems of hydroponic agriculture. These systems are predominantly constructed as means for mass production in agriculture or are built by individuals to be used in their garden or greenhouse. The role of design in production of these devices is rather limited. The goal of this work is to introduce hydroponics as a complex system of many interconnecte

Projektet gick ut på att skapa ett system för att automatisera en hydroponisk odling, ta fram vilka storheter som är intressanta att mäta och sedan skapa elektronik för det. Det var snabbt tydligt att det är elektrisk konduktivitet (EC), pH och temperatur som är intressant att mäta. EC är ett estimat över näringsinnehållet i vattnet, pH i vattnet måste vara i rätt nivå för att växterna ska kunna ta upp näringen och temperaturen måste vara inom rätt område för att växterna ska växa. Sensorerna som valdes fungerar väldigt olika och därför skapades olika kretsar för vardera sensor. EC och tempera

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Horticultural Science))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.<br>This aim of this study was to investigate the viability of growing P. tomentosum in deep water culture (DWC) hydroponics and to assess the effects of various methods of oxygenating the nutrient solution with regards to growth, development and chlorophyll responses. The experiment was conducted over a period of 74 days. In chapter 3, 16 different methods of oxygenation were applied to 9 replicates. The control had passive aeration. The treatments were made up of air-pumps, vortex oxygenators and the applic

Abstract:
Selenium (Se) is an essential element for human and livestock with antioxidant and anticancer characteristics. Although Se is not an essential element for plants, it has been reported that it can improve plant growth. This experiment was conducted at the Isfahan University of Technology in winter 2010. The experiment was factorial based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 replications. Se was added to nutrient solution in 4 concentrations 2, 4, and 6 mg/l sodium selenite (Na2SeO3). Root volume, fresh and dry weights of shoots and roots, number and weight of fruits, chlorophyll conte

Abstract:
With a continued worldwide trend in population shift from rural to urban areas predicted to increase, new approaches to agricultural production must be considered and implemented. Little academic interest has been applied to determining economically viable urban agriculture crop production sites for business investment. A feasibility model to aid investors in selecting appropriate sites for the development of urban agriculture food production within population centers was created. Lettuce crop trials were performed from August 2015 to December 2015 at the University of Arizona Controlled Envir
