Mehwish Liaquat^1*, Arshad Mahmood Malik¹, Muhammad Ishaq¹, Hafiz Muhammad Qasim Ashraf² and Ismara Naseem¹

....) varieties grown under hydroponic conditions. Five different tomato varieties (Berberana F1, Lezaforta F1, Elipida F1, Premium Ruby and Cherry Tomato) were used for the experiment. Growth related parameters such as shoot length, root length; stem diameter and number of leaves were observed at 30 days aged seedlings in coco peat media. The experiment was executed according to completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications. Analysis of variance (ANO...

Comparative Assessment of Hydroponic and Geoponic Cultivation Systems for Sustainable Spinach Cultivation

Ain-ul-Abad Syed¹*, Zaheer Ahmed Khan¹, Shakeel Hussain Chattha¹, Irfan Ahmed Shaikh², Mian Noor Hussain Asghar Ali¹, Zohaib ur Rehman Bughio³, Shahzad Hussain Dahri² and Ghous Bakhsh Buriro⁴

... The treatments included hydroponic (soil-less) and geoponic (soil) spinach seed cultivation. The seed was initially grown in a seedling tray before being transferred onto a prepared plot and a hydroponic model, respectively. All the standard materials (made of plastic) needed for a perfect low-cost hydroponic model, obtained from local markets, were combined accordingly to achieve the res...

Amongst the five rice cultivars, DR-92 performed better in terms of survival percentage, average plant height, shoot dry weight, percent reduction over control (PROC) for plant height and shoot dry weight, the accumulation of less Na+ and more K+ as well as the higher K+/Na+ ratio in shoot dry matter, than rest of th...

Pest Recognition and Cloud Monitoring in Aeroponic System

Ehtesham Khan, Talha Ahmed, M. Irfan Anis* and Syed Ahsan Rehman

...fy;">An advanced form of hydroponics, aeroponics farming is the procedure of plant cultivation in a mist environment by spraying micro droplets of nutrient solution on the roots of plant in a closed habitat in order to procure fast and healthy plant growth. It is a soil-less culture as soil is just the medium for the plant for nutrients ingestion. As nutrients are supplied in an air water culture in the form of mist directly to the roots. This type of farming ...
