HYDROPONICS GROWTH: LABORATORY TRIAL
Hydroponic grow bed:• 1 Liter of nutrient solution• (3) 3” diameter net cups with hydroton media• 6” aeration stone• Additional nutrient solution: pH adjusted
permeate (nitric acid added: pH=6.5)

Deficiency Symptoms Plants grown in pure
permeate solution (NG) experienced scorching of older leaves
Potentially attributable to ammonia-induced deficiency of another nutritive cation

CONCLUSIONS AnMBR permeate supported supports
hydroponic cultivation but with less than optimal performance resulting from: Lower concentrations of phosphorus
High NH4+:NO3
- Ratio
Inhibits uptake of other cations causing deficiencies of K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+
Additional permeate polishing processes could improve growth performance Promote nitrification
Increase micronutrient concentrations
Ensure safety
