The nutrient solution is a key tool in intensive crop production, providing the plant with essential nutrients under strictly controlled conditions. Working with it requires a deep understanding of agrochemistry: from substrate analysis and accurate calculation of fertilizer application rates to maintaining the optimal salt balance in hydroponic systems. Proper management of plant nutrition is the basis for producing viable transplants, forming a healthy root system, and achieving high crop yields in protected soil.
This selection gathers materials covering a wide range of practical and research aspects of agronomy. The reader will find information on the specifics of water and sand culture methods, soilless cultivation technologies, and low-volume hydroponics. The articles also address issues of substrate preparation, phytosanitary protection of greenhouse soils, and fumigation. The presented materials will help professionals and passionate gardeners master modern nutrition control technologies that promote effective plant development at all stages of the life cycle.
