“…The hydroponic growing method allows plants to obtain all the necessary micro-and macroelements from a nutrient solution. The basis of the hydroponic installation was the NFT method, consisting of 3 levels [26]. This installation was chosen as optimal, taking into account the distances from the radiation sources to the plants, the size of the pallets and the space for equipment under the installation racks.…”

Precise adaptation of the greenhouse lighting spectrum to basic photophysiological processes can effectively and directionally stimulate plant growth and development. The optimal spectrum depends on the plant species and the stage of development and could be assessed empirically. The aim of this study is to determine the LED illumination spectrum that provides a significant improvement in the growth rate and accumulation of biologically active compounds for basil plants (Ocimum basilicum L.) under hydroponic cultivation compared to more traditional lighting sources. The following light sources with various emission spectra were used: an LED lamp within a spectral range of 400–800 nm (B:G:R 15%:5%:80%); a high-pressure sodium lamp (HPS) (B:G:R 5%:45%:50%); a compact fluorescent lamp (B:G:R 20%:40%:40%); a grow LED strip (B:G:R 15%:40%:45%); a white LED lamp (B:G:R 30%:45%:25%); a customized LED lighting setup in color ratios 100%B, 75%B + 25%R, 50%B + 50%R, 25%B + 75%R, 100%R, and natural lighting. A photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 150 μmol∙m−2∙s−1 was provided with all the sources. It was demonstrated reliably that employing the LED strip as an illumination device gives a 112% increase in basil plant yield compared to the HPS; the transpiration coefficient for the LED strip is six times lower than for the HPS. The content of flavonoids in the basil aerial parts on the 30th, 50th, and 70th days of development is 3.2 times higher than for the HPS; the metabolite composition is also more uniform for LED strip lighting.

This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing saline water as a nutrient solution in hydroponic systems to grow salt-tolerant plants. We evaluate crop production, nutrient uptake, and plant growth using a range of hydroponic techniques, such as aeroponics, deep water culture, and nutrient film, in comparison to conventional soil-based procedures. While examining the effects of different salinity levels on plant physiology, the study focuses on optimizing important characteristics in the hydroponic solution, such as pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrient concentration. According to preliminary research, some salt-tolerant plant species grow and adapt better in hydroponic systems, which presents a viable method for saline-tolerant sustainable agriculture. This study adds important knowledge for creating effective and sustainable solutions to problems with food production in areas where soil salinity is a problem.
