Soilless Substrate Hydrology and Subsequent Impacts on Plant-Water Relations of Containerized Crops
… order to continue to stay economically viable. Soilless substrates were initially developed to have increased porosity and relatively low water holding capacity to ensure container crops would not remain overhydrated after irrigations or rain events. As a result, substrates were selected that …

Hydroponic and Soilless Culture Systems and Transplant Practices Influence Production of Basil (Omicum basilicum L.)
… L.) grown in three different hydroponic and soilless substrate systems and (2) seedling tray cell-count and transplant date into hydroponic culture effects on basil growth and yield at harvest. For the first experiment, four basil cultivars (‘Genovese’, ‘Mrs. Burns Lemon’, ‘Sweet Thai’, and …

Quantifying the effects of fertilizer type, source, and concentration on the post-production growth of containerized culinary herbs
… containers filled with certified organic substrate and irrigated with solutions containing 100, 200, or 300 mg∙L–1 N from a conventional or organic water-soluble fertilizer (WSF); or were transplanted into the same organic substrate amended with 0.25, 0.5 or 0.75 kg N∙m –3 from …

Nitrogen Fate and Transformations in the Production of Containerized Specialty Crops
… with individual N sources, and the influence of substrate texture on losses of aqueous and gaseous N species. The first study conducted a mass balance looking at the four major avenues of N fate in an open-air container production setting (plant uptake, immobilized or bound N in a pine bark …

Characterizing the physical and hydraulic properties of pine bark soilless substrates
Soilless substrates, such as peat, pine bark, and coir, are widely used as growing media in containerized crops for their favorable characteristics, including low bulk density, balanced air exchange and water retention, disease resistance, and low pH and salinity. However, improper irrigation of …
