“…Consequently, solubility was therefore reduced on day 9. The appropriate EC for melon production under a hydroponic system is about 2.5 mS/cm [23]. Higher EC dues to adding BCSP at day 5 may affect unbalance of the nutrient requirement of vegetative growth.…”

Seedling is the most important starting material for muskmelon production. Healthy seedling production can be addressed by finding appropriate seedling substrates. Blue crab shell powder (BCSP) has been used as a substrate additive to increase the growth and yield of agricultural produce. This research aimed to investigate the impact of using BCSP on the alteration of EC, pH, leaf greenness, and growth of Cucumis melo var. Hamigua TA215 seedlings. The substrates making up the treatments were 5, 10, and 15% BCSP, and peat moss was used as a control. Four treatments replicated three times were laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The results showed that increasing EC and pH were attributed by increasing the BCSP. After 9 days of watering, a reduction of EC was found. On the contrary, pH in 15% BCSP adding treatment was gradually increased and reached the highest point at day 9. Alteration of EC and pH affected leaf greenness. The highest point of leaf greenness was found on day 1, consistent with increasing EC. Final growth was most significant for seedlings grown in peat moss (control) and tended to decrease as the percent BCSP increased. These are indicative that essential elements in BCSP resulted in leaf greenness appearance. It was growing of pH impact growths of seedlings. Reduction of the amount of BCSP might provide favorable conditions around root environments for the seedling development of muskmelon with healthy growth.

“…Different container systems were employed for melon production in greenhouse settings, including fertigation systems using polybags and cocopeat, U-shaped troughs made of PVC tubes, double U-shaped troughs, and triangular containers constructed from polyethylene sheets. While melon production was observed in all containers, the fruit quality was found to be superior in the U-shaped troughs . Plastic pots filled with perlite and cocopeat were utilized for cucumber cultivation in a polyhouse .…”

“…90 The best seedling germination in green gram was obtained with poultry dung suspension + sodium arsenite/arsenic at room temperature. 91 The yield and silicone content in green bean were improved in pots containing perlite with discharge of nutrient solutions (rainwater + 0.15 mg Ca + 0.04 mg K + 0.02 mg Mg + 0.21 mg Na + Si and 13.8 mg N + 5.5 mg K + 1.3 mg P + 3.7 mg Ca + 1.8 mg S) through a drip system in a polyhouse. 92 The qualitative and quantitative characteristics of cucumber were evaluated when grown in rockwool slabs with application of 1.3 MJ/m 2 high irrigation frequency (HIF), 1.9 MJ/m 2 medium irrigation frequency (MIF), 3.0 MJ/m 2 low irrigation frequency (LIF) in a polyhouse.…”

Soilless culture is emerging as a popular tool to grow agricultural and horticultural crops in open systems, closed systems, protected cultivation, vertical farming, and soil affected or stress-affected areas. The climatic factors and biometabolism are integrated in stimulating quality phenological growth and biochemical and physiological processes in soilless crop production. Soilless crop production (SCP) has immense potential to build a soilless green revolution and for sustaining crop production. Information on substrate and water based culture collected for the period from 1996 to 2022 is reviewed and analyzed in this work. The performance of crops in soilless culture improves morphological and physiological parameters compared with soil based cultivation. The distinct environmental factors positively influence soilless culture to exhibit cellular processes, biological processes, molecular processes, and the ecosystem in the crop. The impacts of ecological factors are more efficient in closed systems compared with open systems. The salient features of metabolites and biometabolism in substrate based media were identified with transcriptome analysis and found to be different compared with soil based cultivation. Developing simple nutrient formulations suited for soilless culture is essential to popularize this technology among marginal farmers.
