“…Landgraf et al (2015) also found that the initial development of calla lily was not affected by the solution in their NFT system (Landgraf et al, 2015), indicating that in this initial phase, the formulations used were equally efficient. However, in the production phase, the specific formulation is relevant (Landgraf et al, 2017). The different systems tested here, semihydroponic and ebb-and-flow, were efficient for the initial development of the calla lily.…”

“…The authors used similar solutions as there were tested in this studyboth "Fruit" and "Leaf" solutions (Landgraf et al, 2015). In order study, Landgraf et al, 2017 identified that the "Fruit Solution" provided better results for calla lily production. Due to that e in order to improve and aiming for a better result, the compositions of the nutrient solutions used in that study were adapted from those previously tested.…”

“…In the cited NFT system, in which water circulation is constant, the development of calla lily plants was favored by the use of larger phenolic foam (PF2, 5.0×5.0×3.8 cm), providing greater dry matter accumulation in the shoots and rhizome, as well as higher photosynthetic rates, regardless of the nutrient solution used (Landgraf et al, 2015). However, when different profile sizes of an NFT system were used, there was an effect of the nutrient solution used, with production being favored by the use of the leaf solution in a larger profile (Landgraf et al, 2017).…”

“…The fertilization of the calla lily in both systems was performed by applying a nutrient solution prepared with water-soluble fertilizers, according to the solutions recommended for the production of fruit and leafy vegetables (Landgraf et al, 2015(Landgraf et al, , 2017. These solutions (Table 1) had been already tested for calla lily.…”

The soilless cultivation of plants is an alternative for the production of flowers with high quality. Calla lily is normally produced on soil benches, but have shown some limitations as bacterial infections occur. One alternative may be a soilless cultivation. Hence, experiments were conducted with the objective to evaluate the development of calla lily in two types of hydroponic production systems. The semihydroponic system was tested using as substrates or growing media such as, coconut fiber, sand, vermiculite, and phenolic foam sheets. For the other system, ebb-and-flow, the substrates tested were vermiculite, coconut fiber, and expanded clay. Two different nutritional solutions were tested in both systems. in the semihydroponic system. In general, calla lily was adapted and showed a good development in a soilless cultivation. The best initial development of the calla lily was provided using vermiculite and sand as substrates on semihydroponic. And for the ebb-and-flow system, coconut fiber induced better development. As conclusion, hydroponic cultivation systems are efficient for the initial development of calla lily. The recommended substrates are those with lower porosity, such as sand, vermiculite, and coconut fiber.
