Download or read book Hydroponics written by J. Benton Jones, Jr. and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-06-09 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 45,000 acres of greenhouse vegetation currently being grown hydroponically throughout the world, hydroponics has become one of the most rapidly expanding new areas of plant research. Although growing plants without soil has been practiced since ancient times, hydroponics-the growing of plants specifically in water or nutrient solutions-has shown itself to be the most cost-effective way of maximizing yield, eliminating plant disease, minimizing labor costs and getting the most out of limited land resources. It's both an economically and ecologically sound approach to field-crop production and soil management. Successfully practicing hydroponics, however, requires a working knowledge of the mechanics of plant growth and a firm grasp of the hydroponics process. Hydroponics: A Practical Guide for the Soilless Grower clearly explains the basics of plant growth and development, the different methods of preparing and using hydroponic nutrient solutions, and hydroponic options for various environmental conditions. It gives the reader instructions for simple experiments and a number of helpful charts, tables and illustrations. Completely up-to-date, the book also describes, in detail, all the latest techniques for hydroponic growing. It addresses new challenges in the field such as growing food for astronauts, practicing hydroponics in inhospitable environments and updating nutrient element supplies for the demands of the next century. It's an ideal guide for anyone interested in plants and how they grow-from casual hobbyists and students to commercial growers and professional plant researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simple explanations about how to add biology to any plant growing system makes this book easy-to-read for the general public. Guidelines for conventional, sustainable and organic applications -- whether you are growing indoor in controlled environments and soilless media or outdoors in open fields of soil, this book helps you design your growing systems and incorporate biology into your programs. Basic biology and chemistry of nutrient-cycling and plant growing environments are given, so the mystery is taken out of plant growing. Chapters include: Introduction, Synthetic or Inorganic Systems, Biological/Organic Systems, Plant Growing Systems Out of Balance, Roots Interface Biology and Plants, Types of Microorganisms, Types of Beneficial Aerobic Microorganisms, Environments for Maintaining Microorganisms, Microbes and Plants Form a Symbiotic Relationship, Integrating Biology into Plant Growing Systems, Sources of Beneficial Microorganisms, Apply Microorganisms, Testing for Biologicals, Research on MicroorganismsThere are many types of biological products for soil and soilless media enhancement available on the commercial market today and more entering daily. New research, new formulations, new stabilization techniques are enabling the expansion of these product to fill the increasing demand from consumers wanting alternatives to toxic chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.This notebook is an attempt to provide basic information about adding biology to soil and soilless media whether in outdoor fields or indoor controlled environment hydroponics systems. Whether we are using synthetic fertilizers/nutrients or sustainable practices, or have converted to organic systems, there is a way to add biology to enhance production, yield and quality.
