“…For corns, a modified half-strength Hoagland's nutrient solution was used consisting of (in mM) the following: Ca, 2.0; K, 3.0; N, 8.0; P, 1.0; Mg, 0.5; S, 0.5; Na, 0.05; Cl, 0.05; B, 0.025; Zn, 0.002; Cu, 0.0005; Mn, 0.002; and Mo, 0.0005 (Kane et al 2006). The two-leaf seedlings were grown in a nutrient solution with ventilator system at two Fe levels including 5 and 50 µM Fe-EDTA (Fe-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid).…”

“…Each particular nutrient has its own effects on the plant and their individual activities can have a very strong influence on plant growth and health. If a particular nutrient is deficient, plant yields can be negatively affected [4,27–29]. A similar reduction in plant growth can arise when a particular nutrient is present at a concentration that is too high.…”

“…Further reasoning for the criticality of ion-selective sensors includes: Nutrient requirements vary among crops [2,27,29,30]Nutrient requirements change over the lifetime/growth phase of a given plant [4,30–35]Nutrient requirements fluctuate with changing environmental conditions [30,33,36]There exist several key nutrient ion ratios that must be maintained within the nutrient solution [29,30]. …”

The ability to monitor and control plant nutrient ions in fertigation solutions, on an ion-specific basis, is critical to the future of controlled environment agriculture crop production, be it in traditional terrestrial settings (e.g., greenhouse crop production) or as a component of bioregenerative life support systems for long duration space exploration. Several technologies are currently available that can provide the required measurement of ion-specific activities in solution. The greenhouse sector has invested in research examining the potential of a number of these technologies to meet the industry's demanding requirements, and although no ideal solution yet exists for on-line measurement, growers do utilize technologies such as high-performance liquid chromatography to provide off-line measurements. An analogous situation exists on the International Space Station where, technological solutions are sought, but currently on-orbit water quality monitoring is considerably restricted. This paper examines the specific advantages that on-line ion-selective sensors could provide to plant production systems both terrestrially and when utilized in space-based biological life support systems and how similar technologies could be applied to nominal on-orbit water quality monitoring. A historical development and technical review of the various ion-selective monitoring technologies is provided.

“…Numerous studies confirmed the effect of different nutrient regimes on important onion traits, such as postharvest attributes (Kumar et al, 2007), all in content (Bloem et al, 2004), growth and mineral content (Kane et al, 2006), pungency and yield (Guo et al, 2006). Examining winter garlic rust (Puccinia spp.)…”
