Description
Zebro and co-authors tune nutrient strength for strawberries grown in a recycling hydroponic system. Finding the right feed strength is critical for sustainable output in soilless farming. Too weak a solution starves plants, while too strong a mix wastes inputs and can stress roots.
The test crop was the Korean strawberry cultivar Kuemsil, grown with recirculated solution. The team varied solution strength and tracked growth, physiology, and biochemical traits. Fruit quality measures, from sweetness to firmness, were also scored at harvest. Results point to a strength that balances plant vigor, antioxidant activity, and eating quality.
