Description
Plant production in hydroponics and soilless culture is rapidly expanding throughout the world, raising a great interest in the scientific
community. For the first time in an authoritative reference book, authors cover both theoretical and practical aspects of hydroponics
(growing plants without the use of soil). This reference book covers the state-of-the-art in this area, while offering a clear view of
supplying plants with nutrients other than soil.
Soilless Culture provides the reader with an understanding of the properties
of the various soiless media and how these properties affect plant performance in relation to basic horticultural operations, such as
irrigation and fertilization. This book is ideal for agronomists, horticulturalists, greenhouse and nursery managers, extension specialists,
and people involved with the production of plants.
Audience:
Agronomists, horticulturalists, farmers, practitioners confronting problems
