GROWING ORNAMENTAL PLANTS IN HYDROCULTURE

Abstract

Closed, circulation system hydroponics satisfies the strictest environmental protection regulations, environmentally friendly, nutriments do not contaminate soil water and there is no need for soil sterilization, no chemicals pollutes environment. It is well mechanised and controlled and optimal conditions for the plant are provided. Thus, yield increases. It is saving nutriment and water. By considering these facts we can say that there is a better timing, better programmed then chemo culture.

As for the cut flowers we found that stem yield in hydroponics is about the same than that is in traditional soil mix and chemo culture. Flower quality is however better due to the more balanced nutriment supply. This is especially true for the vase-endurance

Processing data by phytomonitor enables to develop an optimal nutriment supply, a cost saving and environmentally friendly technology.
