Recirculation intervals of nutrient solution in hydroponic acclimatization of banana seedlings by Iumi da S. Toyosumi (16477335)

“…However, the use of shorter intervals after this period is needed because the use of intervals equal to or higher than 0.75 hour decreased plant growth in both seasons. Thus, the use of a 23.75-hour interval in the first 15 days and a 0.25-hour interval after this period allows a decrease in energy consumption, compared to the use of a 0.25-hour interval during the whole plant cycle.…”
