Plant production in hydroponics and soilless culture is rapidly expanding throughout the world, raising a great interest in the scientific community. For the first time in an authoritative reference book, authors cover both theoretical and practical aspects of hydroponics (growing plants without the use of soil). This reference book covers the state-of-the-art in this area, while offering a clear view of supplying plants with nutrients other than soil. Soilless Culture provides the reader with an understanding of the properties of the various soiless media and how these properties affect plant performance in relation to basic horticultural operations, such as irrigation and fertilization. This book is ideal for agronomists, horticulturalists, greenhouse and nursery managers, extension specialists, and people involved with the production of plants.

* Comprehensive discussion of hydroponic systems, irrigation, and control measures allows readers to achieve optimal performance
* State-of-the-art book on all theoretical aspects of hydroponics and soilless culture including a thorough description of the root system, its functions and limitation posed by restricted root volume
* Critical and updated reviews of current analytical methods and how to translate their results to irrigation and fertilization practices
* Definitive chapters on recycled, no-discharge systems including salinity and nutrition management and pathogen eradication
* Up-to-date description of all important types of growing media

Better to buy the e version of it

October 7, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Needless to say, the contents of the book are complete and well written. Nevertheless, the hardcover version that I received has an awful bookbinding: the book opens fifteen degrees at most, being necessary to apply constant pressure to keep it open... which makes reading very uncomfortably. Better to buy the e version of it. Shame on you Elsevier!

Finally what I've been looking for!

This book has it all, as a aeroponics and greenhouse enthusiast I've benefited greatly from the information in this book. It coveres everything I've always wanted to know, answered all my questions and helped me really understand the mechanic of soiless culture.

Not many people would pay almost $90 for a Kindle book on anything, much less on hydroponic gardening, but the money is not an obstacle for me. I am starting a major research project on hydroponic growing. I started with a kit from Amazon. Then I bought a set of three bottles of nutrients. Next I started a "forum" on the kit to elicit comments and questions on the Kit.

I believe that "food" now bought in stores is very sadly deficient in nutrient values and freshness. I consider almost all "fresh" food has been trucked or shipped thousands of miles from a farm to my table, that many of these fresh foods were covered with pesticides, herbicides, grown with artificial fertilizer or are in some way very harmful to health.

It is my practice to find a book like this one and review it before I read it, then I come back and adjust my review as per my opinion after some study. I don't mind how much a research resource costs me. I value Amazon's have a valuable selection of resources (books for instance) to look through. I don't need to take long, just buy and then study and revise, if necessary, my review of this Book after reading it. I will be doing videos and images of my hydroponic garden.

I'll be back. I have bought this Book.

I'm back after reading only 6 - 10 pages. I've increased the rating to five stars. This book may be too much for me, but it is certainly NOT inadequate. I often buy a book to review and review it before reading. I also often buy a book, read some and then review it on Amazon.

This the first book in a long while that I eagerly look forward to "studying" since I want to APPLY the information not just get glib to repeat it.

I already know that this Book cover issues that are important to me.

I don't expect to add to this review, but I do have a web site where I am presenting the results of my research and application. I understand that I won't promote that web site on Amazon, but I am content with leaving off here now and continuing my writing on my own web site.
