The interacted effects of photoperiod and nutrient solution concentrations (NSCs) on nutritional quality and antioxidant and mineral content in lettuce were investigated in this study. There were a total of nine treatments by three photoperiods (12 h/12 h, 15 h/9 h, and 18 h/6 h), with a combination of three NSCs (1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 NSC). The contents of photosynthetic pigment, mineral element, and nutritional quality were markedly affected by the combination of photoperiod and NSC. The highest leaf number and plant weight were found in lettuce under the combination of 18–0.25X. There was a higher content of photosynthetic pigment in treatment of 15-0.25X. Shorter photoperiod (12 h/12 h and 15 h/9 h) and NSC (1/4 and 1/2 NSC) contributed to reduced nitrate contents and higher contents of free amino acid, soluble protein, and vitamin C. Longer photoperiod and lower NSC could increase soluble sugar content. The content of total P, K, and Ca exhibited a similar trend under the combination of photoperiod and NSC, with a higher content at 3/4 NSC under different photoperiods. Lower contents of total Zn and N were found under longer photoperiod. Moreover, higher antioxidant contents, including 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), value of ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), flavonoid, polyphenol, and anthocyanin were observed under shorter photoperiod, with the peak under 12-0.50X. Generally, 12-0.50X might be the optimal treatment for the improvement of the nutritional quality of lettuce in a plant factory that produced high-quality vegetables.

A sand culture greenhouse experiment was conducted with papaya, Carica papaya L., variety Blue Solo, to determine the effects of four levels of Bin the nutrient solution (0.01, 0.05, 0.1 (control), and 1.5 p/m) on growth, fruiting and mineral content. B deficiency and B excess symptoms are described for leaves, petioles, central stems, and fruit. Mineral contents of leaves, petioles, and fruits are presented and discussed. Fruits receiving 0.05 p/m B in the nutrient solution were preferred. The critical level of B appears to be about 20 p/m in the petioles and leaves, whereas excess B occurred at about 70 and 300 p/m, respectively, for petioles and leaves. Quality components of the fruits are based on taste panel evaluation.

Melon plants development are determined by nutrient availability in the nutrient solution which is markedly influenced by the solution pH. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of hydroponic nutrient solution pH on growth and mineral content of melon plants. The plants were growth in nutrient solution at five pH levels (4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) in a completely randomized design with three replicates. At 40 days after transplanting were evaluated shoot and roots fresh and dry weight as well as the root volume. Leaf nutrients contents was also determined. It was concluded that it is essential to keep the nutrient solution pH at 6.0 in order to obtain plants with high leaf number, fresh and dry root mass, root volume and iron and zinc contents in the leaves.

Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Mangaba tree) is a fruit tree belonging to the Apocynaceae family and is native to Brazil. The production of seedlings of this species is limited by a lack of technical and nutritional expertise. To address this deficiency, this study aimed to characterize the visual symptoms of micronutrient deficiency and to assess growth and leaf nutrient accumulation in H. speciosa seedlings supplied with nutrient solutions that lack individual micronutrients. H. speciosa plants were grown in nutrient solution in a greenhouse according to a randomized block design, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of a group receiving complete nutrient solution and groups treated with a nutrient solution lacking one of the following micronutrients: boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and molybdenum (Mo). The visual symptoms of nutrient deficiency were generally easy to characterize. Dry matter production was affected by the omission of micronutrients, and the treatment lacking Fe most limited the stem length, stem diameter, root length, and number of leaves in H. speciosa seedlings as well as the dry weight of leaves, the total dry weight, and the relative growth in H. speciosa plants. The micronutrient contents of H. speciosa leaves from plants receiving the complete nutrient solution treatment were, in decreasing order, Fe>Mn>Cu>Zn>B.

Abstract This study was carried out in lath house of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering - College of Agriculture - Tikrit University, during the season 2020-2021, as a factorial experiment by spraying with three levels of the growth regulator Brassinolide (BL) which are 0.00, 0.015, 0.025 Mg.L−1 and spraying with nutrient solution PRO-SOL (M) at three concentrations of.000, 200,400. Mg.L−1 to determine the effect of the growth regulator Brassinolide and the nutrient solution PRO-SOL in increasing the chemical content of some nutrients for the two types of navel orange V1 and blood orange V2. The results showed that blood orange V2 was significantly superior to the cultivar Navel V1 in the leaf area amounted to 2991 cm2, the percentage of dry matter in the leaves was 35.39% and the percentage of mineral elements in the leaves was %N, 1.619 %K, 1.37%P, 0.204,. And the best concentration Of Brassinolide 0.025 Mg.L−1 with a concentration of PRO-SOL400 Mg.L−1 has increased the dry matter percentage, leaf area and chemical content of elements for the navel orange variety V1, and the concentration of Brassinolide 0.015 Mg.L−1 with a concentration of PRO-SOL 400 mg.L-1 has increased the dry matter percentage, leaf area and chemical content of elements for blood orange variety V2.
