Nutrients that are contained in aquaculture effluent may not supply sufficient levels of nutrients for proper plant development and growth hydroponics; therefore, they need to be supplemented. To determine the required level supplementation, three identical aquaponic systems (A, B, C) one hydroponic system (D) were stocked with lettuce, mint, mushroom herbs. The Nile tilapia. System A only received derived from fish feed; B feed as well weekly supplements micronutrients Fe; C same...
Aquaponics (AP) is a food production system that combines hydroponic (HP) crop with recirculating aquaculture. Different types of systems have been used for growing crops in aquaponics. However, very few studies compared their suitability and efficiency an aquaponic context. The study presented here compares tomato yield, morphological (external) biochemical (internal) fruit quality, overall plant vitality from three different HP (nutrient film technique, drip irrigation system, floating...
One of the main challenges in aquaponics is disease control. possible solution for this biological control with organisms exerting inhibitory effects on fish and plant pathogens. The aim study was to examine potential isolating microorganisms that exert an effect both pathogens from established aquaponic system. We obtained 924 isolates selective King’s B agar 101 MRS different compartments a model system tested them antagonism against pathogen Pythium ultimum Saprolegnia parasitica....
Trickling filters were used to treat wash water from a wood gasifier. This contained toxic substances such as ammonium, cyanide, phenols, and PAH. The goal was develop system that degraded substances, achieved full nitrification of ammonia. A 1 kW model gasifier plant delivered for the experiments, which standardised conductivity 3 mS/cm by dilution. Toxicity assessed bacterial luminescence detection, germination test with cress (Lepidium sativum), pot plants cultivated in hydroponic setup...
