Abstract
"Integrated IonAdjuster System" (IIA System) integrated an ion concentration control method with an EC control method for controlling nutrient solution in hydroponics was developed. The IIA System adopted the EC control method for real-time control of total ion concentrations, and adopted the ion concentration control system for preparation of the stock solutions which could adjust ion composition of nutrient solutions. Cultivation of cucumber using the IIA System led to laborsavings, sustained good condition of rhizosphere, and increased yields. Moreover saving initial and running cost should be possible in the IIA System, and consequently the IIA System may contribute to promotion of closed hydroponic system.
