Nitric acid has HNO3 as its formula, when you add this to your hydroponic solution it reacts with water and dissociates into H3O+ and NO3- ions (nitrate ions), so if you add nitric acid you are adding nitrate. It is one of the most popular solution compositions for growing plants (in the scientific world at least) with more than 16,000 citations listed by Google Scholar. Effects of hydroponic solution composition, electrical conductivity and plant spacing on yield and quality of strawberries . We thank all the members of the Committee on Hydroponic Solution Control (chairperson, Yutaka Shinohara). (New South Wales Agriculture, Rydalmere (Australia). The Hoagland solution is a hydroponic nutrient solution that was developed by Hoagland and Snyder in 1933, refined by Hoagland and Arnon in 1938 and revised by Arnon in 1950. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil in nutrient solutions. The composition of the nutrient solution. After a solution of known composition which supports plant growth is found, how would you go about testing whether… Dozens of different nutrient solution compositions have been suggested over the years, but most resemble each other fairly closely. Horticultural Research and Advisory Station) Cresswell, G.C. I am trying to make Hogland solution and search for the method but i am getting confused .. so please if anyone have an good protocol for HOAGLAND nutrient solution provide me. In the particular case of lettuce, different nutrient solution compositions have varying effects on the plant, this, of course, because the particular chemistry of your nutrient solution must be fitted for your plant in order to achieve optimum results. v4 Author: tillb Created Date: 2/13/2012 5:31:06 PM Solution for What is a hydroponic solution?
