Nutrient Use in Vertical Farming: Optimal Electrical Conductivity of Nutrient Solution for Growth of Lettuce and Basil in Hydroponic Cultivation (2021, unknown): “This ﬁnding is in line with studies done by Fallovo et al. [31] and Rouphael et al. [32], which have indicated that a very low amount of EC levels that resulted from a low concentration of nutrient elements can reduce the growth rate of various plants [31,32].”
Yield and quality of basil, Swiss chard, and rocket microgreens grown in a hydroponic system (2017, background): “According to root and shoot DWwe observed, microgreens accumulated a higher portion of plant total dry matter in shoot compared to vegetables grown hydroponically to an adult stage, that usually show root to shoot ratios of about 0.15–0.20 (Fallovo et al. 2009; Bernstein et al. 2010).”
