Comparative Growth Analysis of Onion in Deep Water Culture and Soil Based Systems: Enhancing Medicinal Plant Cultivation in Urbanized Environments

“…It comprises different setups to adapt to various types of plants. Some of the most popular types are nutrient film technique (NFT), ebb and flow, deep water culture (DWC), drip system, and wick system [21][22][23][24][25][26]. Thus, smart precision farming in hydroponics is the key solution to all the issues of urban farming, including increased year-round qualitative and quantitative food demand.…”

“…The highest growth was recorded using 200 ppm NO 3--N. The authors of [36] have cultivated legumes called Serra Della in aluminum-toxic soil to conclude that AI tolerance varies among various cultivars. In [24], a certain variety of lily is cultivated in an ebb-and-flow system of hydroponic cultivation where statistical analyses showed no correlation between the weights of the initial and the final bulblets. Elongation of roots and growth and survival of bulblets were dependent upon the hydroponic setup, the substrate type, and the composition of the nutrients in the solution medium.…”

“…Thus, the need of the hour is to enhance the cultivation and yield of medicinal plants.  In the existing research works, either the root [24,[35][36][37] or the shoot growth responses are monitored [25,28,[38][39][40] not both.  The comparative growth responses of any plant are carried out only in any one medium, growth responses in multiple mediums are not analyzed for a single plant [24,28,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

“… In the existing research works, either the root [24,[35][36][37] or the shoot growth responses are monitored [25,28,[38][39][40] not both.  The comparative growth responses of any plant are carried out only in any one medium, growth responses in multiple mediums are not analyzed for a single plant [24,28,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36].  Either the growth responses of a plant are analyzed in actual cultivation [27-32, 35, 36, 42] or the analysis is done using the simulator, the incorporation of both methods in a single experiment is not found [26,41,42].…”

“…Very few works have focused on the better qualitative and quantitative yield of the root as well as the shoot of any medicinal plant [27-32, 35, 36]. Some of the research works focus on only the root [24,[35][36][37] or only the shoot of any plant [25,28,[38][39][40]. This work demonstrates the root and shoot growth responses of a medicinal plant (onion) having abundant medicinal properties in its shoot as well as its root.…”
