Emerging problems of food security, urbanisation, farmland shortages, food miles increased
greenhouse gas emissions focuses on the need for vertical farming. An increasing global …

Soilless cultivation systems were primarily developed in response to the excessive spread of
soil pathogens; however, they also allow an optimal control of plant grow, high productivity …

The expansion of the earth's population has led to the overuse of land and water resources,
which has ultimately resulted in their scarcity. Changing climatic conditions and erratic …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biostimulant action (hormone like activity, nitrogen
uptake, and growth stimulation) of a plant-derived protein hydrolysate by means of two …

Plant-derived protein hydrolysates represent new biostimulant products able to improve crop
tolerance to abiotic stresses. The aim of the study was to determine growth, root morphology …

Aquaponics is known to be one of the most efficient agriculture production systems by far;
however, limited quantitative data are available on the level of efficiency, particularly in …

BACKGROUND The application of beneficial microorganisms at transplanting can promote
rapid transplant establishment (starter effect) for achieving early and high yields. The aim of …

In the horticulture industry, the focus has traditionally been on yield. However, consumers'
interest worldwide in the quality of horticultural products has increased in the recent past …

Physiological, biochemical, metabolite changes, and gene expression analysis of
greenhouse tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were investigated in two grafting …

Zucchini plants (Cucurbita pepo L.) were grown in closed soilless systems to analyze the
effects of two of the most promising and used irrigation systems (drip and subirrigation) and …
