METHOD FOR HYDROPONIC RAISING OF GROWN UP PEPPER PLANTS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves planting seedlings of 38-42 days age into pots and placing pots on upper shelf of narrow multiple-shelf hydroponic unit, with n being number of shelves; moving pots on lower shelf of unit in each 59-60 days during caring period; reducing temperature and irradiation intensity from apex to base of hydroponic unit by 1.1-1.2 times and 1.5-2.0 times, respectively; increasing moisture content and carbon dioxide concentration from apex to base of hydroponic unit by 1.1-1.2 times and 1.2-1.3 times, respectively; performing harvesting from lower shelf of hydroponic unit. EFFECT: increased efficiency, simplified method, improved quality and yield. 1 dwg
