RESEARCH: HYDROPONICS |

|
OVERVIEW
The Crop Physiology Laboratory has
used hydroponic plant culture for over two decades to precisely
control the root-zone environment. Our work includes the development
of unique nutrient solution recipes for specific crops; the
development of procedures to control nutrients in recirculating
hydroponic culture; the effect of ammonium/nitrate ratios on growth
and yield; and the testing of organic buffers to stabilize pH. In
February 2003, Bruce Bugbee will travel to New Zealand to present a
keynote address on hydroponics at an International Conference on
Soil-less culture
http://www.spscc.org/. His talk is entitled “Principles of
Nutrient Maintenance in Recirculating Hydroponic Culture.”
