A simple method of hydroponic cultivation of vegetables

Hydroponic vegetable is a kind of vegetable planting technology rising in recent years, and it can also be called soilless cultivation technology. Especially in cities, land resources are basically very scarce, so the planting method of hydroponic vegetables is also very popular in cities. Many people find it difficult to grow hydroponic vegetables, so today the editor will ask you for a simple method of growing hydroponic vegetables. Let's take a look at it.

1. Construction of hydroponic box

When preparing for hydroponic cultivation, we first need to build a hydroponic box, which is the most basic equipment for hydroponic vegetable cultivation. A hydroponic tank is an opaque water tank. We can use pots, cans, wood boxes, styrofoam boxes and so on. One of the best materials is the foam box, and then build the same or length foam on the foam box, and then drill holes according to a certain distance to place small bowls or cups for growing vegetables.

2. Configuration of nutrient solution

The allocation of nutrient solution for hydroponic vegetable cultivation is the key to the growth and survival of vegetables. Now there are special nutrient solutions on the market, but if you grow vegetables in a large area, you need more nutrient solution, so it will increase the cost of planting, so we need to configure it ourselves. And there are many formulations of nutrient solution, generally, the most field use is according to the proportion of 0.568 grams of potassium nitrate, 0.710 grams of calcium nitrate, 0.142 grams of ammonium phosphate, 0.284 grams of magnesium sulfate, 0.112 grams of ferric chloride, 0.00284 grams of potassium iodide, boric acid, zinc sulfate and manganese sulfate in 1 liter of water.

3. Raising seedlings with substrate

We can raise seedlings with nutritious soil, and when the seedlings grow two or three true leaves, they can be transferred and planted. The substrate for raising seedlings is generally made of peat and furnace ash in a ratio of one to one. Then Ajing substrate was scattered on the seedling bed to raise seedlings, and when the seedlings grew to a certain size, an appropriate amount of matrix was put into the planting cup, the seedlings were moved into the planting cup, and the seedlings were planted in the appropriate amount of substrate.

4. Seedling planting

After the seedlings are like the planting cup, we need to add the right amount of nutrient solution to the water culture box, and then put the Ajing planting cup on the floating board of the foam to cultivate. Each hole pair with a planting cup, and then adjust the height of the liquid level of the nutrient solution, usually just touching the bottom of the planting cup as the standard. Nutrient solution can not be too much nor too little, too much will lead to the death of vegetables, while too few vegetables can not be absorbed, will also lead to death.

5. Post-management

The late management of hydroponic vegetables directly determines the yield and quality of vegetables. In fact, the management of hydroponic vegetables is relatively simple, because it does not require intertillage, weeding, watering or fertilization. It only needs to reasonably control the concentration of the nutrient solution, as well as the temperature and light of the planting. Therefore, we only need to reduce the concentration of the nutrient solution when the temperature is high, and ensure that the liquid level of the nutrient solution is kept at the bottom of the planting cup.

The above is the simple method of hydroponic vegetables brought to you by the editor. I hope it can be helpful to you. At the same time, if you want to know more about the planting techniques of hydroponic vegetables, remember to leave a message for the editor.
