Aeroponic System Optimization for Butterhead Lettuce Growth and Future Sustainability Using Flow Blurring Atomization
… and the subsequent increase in water usage. Aeroponic technology is a water-efficient vertical farming technology that can reduce water usage by 90% by suspending plant roots in air within a controlled chamber and supplying atomized droplets of a water-nutrient solution directly to the …

EFFECTS OF PLANT GROWTH-PROMOTING MICROORGANISMS ON MICROBIAL COMMUNITY DYNAMICS AND PLANT GROWTH RESPONSES OF AEROPONICALLY CULTIVATED SPINACH
… year-round. Shifting from a soil-based system to aeroponics can increase yields, as aeroponic systems are not weather-reliant and can operate year-round. Aeroponics, a subgroup of hydroponics, induces growth by misting nutrient-rich solutions onto the plant roots. These systems use space and water …

An investigation into sustainable strawberry production using alternative growing systems
… growth and development of strawberry runners in aeroponic towers and the effect of different concentrations of nutrients (A and B) on the growth and yield of strawberry plants. Tower 1 (50% nutrient A and B) showed the survival of three plants out of seven, tower 2 (70%nutrient A and 30% nutrient …

Molecular and Functional Characterization of Terpene Chemical Defense in Arabidopsis Roots in Interaction with the Herbivore Bradysia spp. (fungus gnat)
… herbivores. We have developed an Arabidopsis aeroponic culture system based on clay granulate, which provides access to root tissue and accommodates subterranean insect herbivores. Using this system, feeding performance and plant tissue damage by the root herbivore Bradysia (fungus gnat) were …

Variation for root and shoot growth among wheat cultivars and the effects of barley yellow dwarf virus on growth
… growth were conducted in the greenhouse in an aeroponic mist box. Differences in root growth were found for root dry weight, root length, numbers of seminal and adventitious roots, and root to shoot ratio. Infection with BYDV caused noticeable symptoms in the roots prior to the shoots. Root …

Root responses to soil physical conditions and the role of root-particle contact
… in different portions to the mist produced in an aeroponic system. In another experiment roots were placed above a water surface and supplied at different parts with water through cotton wool. Different portions of the total surface of the root were in contact with liquid or solid phase. Root and …

GROWTH, NODULATION AND NITROGEN FIXATION OF ALFALFA (MEDICAGO SATIVA L) AND RED CLOVER (TRIFOLIUM PRATENSE L) AS INFLUENCED BY SOIL ACIDITY AND LIMING
… dispersive analysis by X-ray.</p><p>Using an aeroponic culture, nitrogen fixation by red clover was more tolerant than alfalfa to Al stress at pH 5.0. The addition of nitrogen, however, reduced nitrogen fixation in both legumes by over 90 percent after four weeks. Nitrate reductase activity in …
