Opis

This book consists of the data of Soilless culture, Microgreens in which authors tried to focus on Swiss chard and Green Mustard. This research work specifically emphasized on the effect of different nutrient combinations, pH and EC on the growth of Swiss chard and Green Mustard. - This study has shown the production of only 2 microgreen species, but earlier studies have shown that all microgreens do not contain all vitamins and minerals and hence, it is advisable to consume multiple microgreens as a balanced diet.-Production of microgreens in soilless culture has been proven to be time-saving, energy-efficient and water-efficient.-On the basis of the results obtained from this study, it can be said that nutrient treatment enhances the quality and quantity of microgreens. -This study provides a clear idea of the potential benefits of microgreens. Microgreens can be grown in very limited space and they don't need any pesticides or insecticides. Hence, they can be grown and consumed at home also.
