OPTIMIZE THE PROCESS OF HYDROPONIC CULTIVATION OF BEETROOT

Abstract

Hydroponic cultivation is considered one of the popular cultivation methods for leafy vegetables, tubers, to increase the cultivated area, shorten the cultivation time, increase the crop, and diversify the area planted vegetables. The paper aims to optimize the non-soil cultivation method, bring good cultivation efficiency to farmers, increase productivity and ensure public health. Beetroot plants grown in a hydroponic environment have better growth and development when growing using a farming method. In the hydroponic environment with three plants: carrot, hoagland, beetroot, beetroot gave good results on all monitoring indicators: new rooting rate (more than 5-7%), root length (1-1.6 times higher), stem height, tuber formation rate, harvested bulb weight are all higher. Under two conditions with and without aeration in the hydroponic cultivation with carrot, the aeration condition has better results, bringing high efficiency in a stationary hydroponic environment
