Abstract
This chapter focuses on plant nutrition and nutrient formulation. Water quality and sources for hydroponic production, reclaimed water sources, water testing, water analysis reports, water treatment options, water usage and supply requirements, plant nutrition in hydroponic systems, essential elements and its function in plants and deficiency symptoms, beneficial elements, nutrient formulation, hydroponic nutrient formulation - nitrogen sources, common hydroponic fertilizers, fertilizer composition and grades, chelation of trace elements, foliar fertilizers, electrical conductivity, pH, conditions which affect nutrient uptake rates, automation and testing equipment, plant tissue analysis, fertilizer and environmental concerns, water and nutrient solution treatment methods, and surfactants are the topics discussed in this chapter.
