Greenhouse
food crops, including tomato, lettuce, and pepper have been grown in a
CEAC-University of Arizona enhanced research greenhouse facility. An
addition of Hydromax in a standard hydroponic nutrient solution is being
tested compared to the standard hydroponics. Results will be
compared with various aspects of plant physiology, growth and
development. Harvested produce quality will be also evaluated.
Through evaluation of various aspects, the project intends to obtain
general understanding on plant responses to Hydromax in
hydroponics.
