"This book provides an informative global perspective on soilless
culture systems (SCS) around the world...the book promises to bring
together the current best practice in SCS horticulture to create an
important industry reference for all participants." ISHS - Chronica
Horticulturae Soilless cultivation techniques (including hydroponic
systems) have attracted growing attention as a way of growing
horticultural crops more efficiently without taking up more land.
These controlled environment systems are also less vulnerable to
climate change and are particularly suited to urban farming as part
of the shift to more localised, circular food systems. Advances in
horticultural soilless culture provides a comprehensive assessment
of recent research in this important area, paying close attention
to the advances in optimising substrates for soilless cultivation,
as well as the developments in solid and liquid-medium container
systems, fertigation systems, modelling and process control. The
collection includes case studies on horticultural crops such as
tomatoes, strawberries and ornamentals. With its distinguished
editor and international range of expert authors, Advances in
horticultural soilless culture will be a standard reference for
university and other researchers involved in horticultural science,
hydroponics and soilless cultivation. It will also be a valuable
resource for government and other agencies supporting vertical and
urban farming systems, as well as companies involved in this
sector.
