Nutrient Management For Growing Dandelion (Taraxacum Officinale L.) In Nutrient Film And Deep Flow Hydroponics, Reetinder Gill

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This research study was conducted to determine an optimal nutrient strategy for dandelion production in nutrient film technique (NFT) and deep flow technique (DFT) systems of hydroponics. It was achieved by growing dandelion at varying levels of nutrient solution concentration and pH in both NFT and DFT systems. Additionally, an optimal nutrient solution concentration and timing of application for dandelion seedling production was also determined.
