Water and Nutrient Management Guidelines for Greenhouse Hydroponic Vegetable Production in Florida: HS1274/HS1274, 12/2015

Abstract

Many small farms are implementing greenhouse hydroponic systems. Perhaps the most challenging aspect of crop management for smaller growers is the control of water and nutrient delivery in a soilless media system. This 7-page fact sheet focuses on relatively inexpensive strategies to help small growers know both when to start irrigation events and how long to run a single event when growing in soilless media.
