After 28 days of culture, most of the growth parameters such as fresh weight and dry weight, shoot/root dry weight ratio, and leaf area ratio were highest in wasabi plantlets grown in 50% or 100% nutrient solution, and this enhancement was greater in vermiculite than in rockwool. Dissolved...
The growth of wasabi plantlets is depressed through a decrease in root water and nutrient uptake caused by low dissolved oxygen concentrations. These findings clearly demonstrate that a hydroponic system that incorporates a 50% or 100% nutrient solution concentration and vermiculite will allow high-...
