With the continued implementation of new equipment and new concepts and
methods, such as hydroponics and soilless practices, crop growth has
improved and become more efficient. Focusing on the basic principles and
practical growth requirements, the Complete Guide for Growing Plants
Hydroponically offers valuable information for the commercial grower,
the researcher, the hobbyist, and the student interested in hydroponics.
It provides details on methods of growing that are applicable to a
range of environmental growing systems.
The author begins with an
introduction that covers the past, present, and future of hydroponics.
He also describes the basic concepts behind how plants grow, followed by
several chapters that present in-depth practical details for hydroponic

These
chapters cover the nutritional requirements of plants and how to best
prepare and use nutrient solutions to satisfy plant requirements, with
different growing systems and rooting media, under a variety of
conditions. The book gives many nutrient solution formulas and discusses
the advantages and disadvantages of various hydroponic systems. It also
contains a chapter that describes a school project, which students can
follow to generate nutrient element deficiency symptoms and monitor
