Sawdust Culture Of Soilless Culture
Nature Hydroponic
by allifemats
2y ago
Sawdust culture is popular in areas with large forest industries, such as the west coast of Canada and the Northwest Pacific coast of the United States. There is an agricultural research sub station in British Columbia, Canada, which has studied the sawdust culture of greenhouse crops for many years. Due to the increasing of native nematodes and diseases and the deterioration of soil structure, the income of soil planting in greenhouse is less and less. Therefore, different forms of soilless cultivation are implemented in Greenhouse in many places. Sawdust culture is generally used to produce ..read more

2y ago
One:Pre-soaking in water Soak seeds overnight in a glass of water.Make sure seeds  get good and wet so growth is activated.Do not let seeds soak more than 24 hours,or they might get too wet,suffer oxygen deprivation,and rot.Once soaked,seeds are ready to be placed between moist paper towels to sprout or to be planted in a root cube or fine,light soilless mix. In a warm location(21-32 ℃),place seeds in a moist paper towel or cheesecloth,making sure they are in darkness.Set the moist cloth or paper towel on a grate (for drainage) on a dinner plate. Water the cloth daily,and keep it moist.Le ..read more

Some varieties can take high doses of nutrients,and other varieties grow best with a minimum of supplemental fertilizer.Many fertilizer programs are augmented with different additives that expedite nutrient uptake. Determine if plants need to be fertilized:make a visual inspection,take an N-P-K soil test,or experiment on test plants.No matter which method is used,remember that plants in small containers use available nutrients quickly and need frequent fertilizing,while plants in large planters have more soil,supply more nutrients,and can go longer between fertilizer applications.

Replicate the movement of the sun through the sky with a motorized light mover.A light mover is a device that moves lamps back and forth or in circles across the ceiling of an indoor garden.The linear or circular path distributes light evenly.Use a light mover to get lights closer to plants.Keep plants at least 12 inches away from a lamp on a light mover.The closer a lamp is to plants without burning them,the more light plants receive! Light movers take bright light distribution more even.Uniform light distribution makes plants grow evenly.Plants placed directly under the ce ..read more

In addition to the most basic greenhouse, hole tray seedling raising facilities are mainly composed of matrix crushing mixer, planter, germination chamber, mobile sprinkler, etc.   1. Matrix crushing mixer and planter  The matrix crushing mixer and planter are used to realize the precision sowing for the hole plate. They can complete tens of millions of sowing work in the centralized sowing season. At the same time, they rely on mechanized operation to improve the sowing accuracy and reduce the waste of seeds and other materials. The function of the mixer is to m ..read more

Characteristics of micro sprinkler irrigation
Nature Hydroponic
by allifemats
2y ago
Micro sprinkler irrigation is usually referred to as micro sprinkler irrigation. It is a form of micro irrigation that uses micro sprinkler to spray pressure water and soluble chemical fertilizer or chemicals on the fire ground of crop branches and leaves with micro flow. The difference between micro sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation is that the emitter has a dripper (drip irrigation belt) instead of a micro nozzle. The dripper consumes the residual pressure of the water supply pipe by its own structure, while the micro nozzle consumes energy by spraying. Advantages of micro sprinkler i ..read more

Fresh air is easy to obtain and inexpensive to maintain-ad simple as hooking up and placing the proper-sized exhaust fan in the most efficient location.An intake vent may be necessary to create a flow of fresh air in the room. A 10-foot square (0.92 ㎡) garden will use from 10 to 50 gallons (38 to 190L) or more of water every week.Plants transpire (similar to evaporation) most of this water into the air.Every day and night,rapidly growing plants transpire more moisture into the air.If this moisture is left in the indoor garden,humidity increases to 100 percent,which stifles stomata and cause ..read more

Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil,most often in a soiless mix.In fact,many gardeners are already cultivating hydroponically.Cultivating cuttings in rockwool,peat moss,and coconut fiber is growing hydroponically.Growing mature plants in soiless Sunshine Mix or Terra-Lite,even when watered by hand,is hydroponic gardening.With hydroponics,nutrient uptake and grow medium oxygen content can be controlled easily.Manage these two factors,along with a few other requirements,to grow a bumper crop with every harvest hydroponic nft. The inert soilless hydroponic medium contains ..read more
