Abstract:The effect of long chain fatty alcohol (LCFA) in a nutrient solution on the growth of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seedlings was investigated under various controlled environmental conditions in a closed transplant production system. In 128-cell trays with LCFA solution, root dry weight increased by 18 to 30% compared to the control. This indicated that treating the LCFA solution in the closed transplant production system could promote root growth. With continuous application of LCFA solution, the dr… Show more
