“…Porous ceramics have been utilized for plant cultivation and soilless culture. [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] The soilless growing media adopted in agriculture and horticulture are used to provide oxygen and water to the roots at simultaneously sufficient levels, in which the used inorganic substrates can be classified as natural unmodified materials or processed ones, and typically include glass or Rockwool, perlite, vermiculite, zeolite, baked clay, sand, tuff, pumice, and others. 61 These commercial plant growth materials have been widely used in soilless culture because of their structural and chemical stabilities and ease of use.…”

“…They found that the condition of optimal plant growth could be optimized by adjusting interspace of granules so that the water retention was kept 45%. Nimura et al 62 investigated the growth of roses in porous ceramic balls with sizes of three ranges, 4.5-7.0, 1.5-4.5, and .5-1.5 mm, pore size around 5 μm, and water retention ability of 46%. Because a nutrient solution can easily penetrate porosity in the porous balls, the roots were well distributed throughout the porous balls.…”

The sustainable development goals (SDGs), including 17 goals and 169 targets, were adopted unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015.The aims are to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace, health, and prosperity of all people over the world. Toward the SDGs, human beings must effectively utilize the global resources, such as (1) oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and so forth that supply us with water and aquatic resources; (2) land, ground, and soil where we can raise agricultural crops and livestock; (3) forests and woods that provide us with lumber and paper and convert carbon dioxide to oxygen; and (4) fossil fuel and mineral resources, which are essential to our modern lives. The use of macroporous ceramics is definitely conducive to the solutions to achieve the SDGs, because it can help solve many of the related technical issues. This review addresses macroporous ceramics primarily for filtration and purification, agriculture and fisheries industry, thermal managements, sensing devices, and constructions, which contribute to achieving SDGs.

The effects of using media hardened by heat fusion of polyester fibers on yields and quality of cut flower stems 'Asami ・Red' (syn. 'Rote Rose') rose and on the composition of nutrient solutions for a year under closed hydroponic culture were investigated. The yields of cut flower stems grown in vermiculite medium (grain diameter: 6-7 mm) and coconut coir medium (fiber length: 3 mm) were remarkably higher than those grown in rockwool and perlite medium (grain diameter: 0.6-1.5 mm or 2.5 mm). The weight of a cut flower stem did not differ among the media, however stem lengths from both grain perlite media were shorter than those from other media. Eighteen months after transplanting, the length and width of each medium were the same as those just after planting, and the thickness in rockwool and coconut coir media decreased slightly. The solidity of each medium remained almost the same at the termination of the project. The pH of the nutrient solution in the rockwool medium changed the most, becoming higher than that of the other media for most of the time. The EC in coconut coir medium tended to be high throughout the project. The concentration of NH 4 -N decreased, while other inorganic components increased gradually. In conclusion, the vermiculite or coconut coir media hardened by heat fusion of polyester fibers is the most favorable of alternative media tested in comparisons with rockwool medium under closed hydroponic culture.
