“…This would explain the fact that in the control substrate (experiment 1) phenols were found at a toxic level. From previous studies it is also known that growing sweet pepper after cucumber leads to a significant decline in substrate phytotoxicity (Politycka et al, 1991;Pudelski, 1983;Pudelski and W6jcik-Wojtkowiak, 1984). In our search for an effective method of biological substrate regeneration, compost manuring proved successful (Politycka and W6jcik-Wojtkowiak, 1988).…”

Prolonged cucumber cultivation in the same substrates leads to accumulation of phytotoxic phenolic compounds. Introduction of sweet pepper as an aftercrop eliminates substrate phytotoxicity.The aim of the study was to examine whether in sweet pepper detoxication of substrate phenols occurs by means of the glucosylation process. The examined materials were substrates differing in phytotoxicity level, and sweet pepper plants grown on these substrates. Substrate phytotoxicity was obtained by means of either repeated cucumber cultivation or by phenolic acid addition. During the vegetative growth phase of sweet pepper, the phytotoxicity and phenolic compound levels in the substrate, and the glucosylated phenol contents in above-ground plant parts were determined.Results showed that sweet pepper responds to an increased presence of phenols in the substrate by an intensified glucosylation.

“…In horticultural practice in recent times, there has been a proliferation of farming systems in which conventional substrates are not used. These include the aeroponic systems, the nutrient film technique (NFT), and the static hydroponic system (Pudelski, 1998;Komosa et al, 2014. In the hydroponics system, plants are grown without soil.…”

The rising demand for tomatoes and tomato-based foods in Nigeria owing to its numerous health benefits calls for a comprehensive and economically viable farming system to replace or complement traditional farming systems for tomato production. This study therefore assessed the level of awareness of tomato farmers and their readiness to adopt the hydroponics farming system. The sociodemographic determinants of their readiness to adopt hydroponic farming were also identified. Measures of central tendency and the logistic regression model were employed in the analysis of data. Knowledge of hydroponic farming was low among the farmers. Key positive determinants of awareness include distance to market, having governmentsupport and access to social media. More than three-fifths of the farmers were willing to adopt the hydroponics farming system. Such farmers had tertiary education, access to extension agents and relatively small farm sizes. High initial capital for adoption was the most critical limitation to the readiness of adoption of the system. Enhanced tomato output from this system may be a cause for its advocacy. Awareness and adoption of hydroponic farming can be increased if extension services are intensified. This will ensure food security and sustainable economic development.
