Description
A comprehensive, practical text which covers a diverse range of hydroponic and protected cropping techniques, systems, greenhouse types and environments. It also covers related subjects such as the use of indoor plant factories, vertical systems, organic hydroponics, aquaponics and other systems.
There is detailed technical information on hydroponic and greenhouse production to help growers and students to design and run their own hydroponic operations. More advanced research is included to explain the factors which influence plant growth, produce quality, post harvest life and advanced hydroponic plant nutrition. What makes this book unique is the additional information on new advances in hydroponic cultivation such as the use of organic nutrients and substrates, the growing trend in the use of completely enclosed indoor plant factories and the growing number of small-scale, non-commercial applications. The book is fully illustrated with color images and photographs to illustrate key topics and help identify problem areas.
