Manufacturer: Casper Publications
Availability: In stock

Price £18.99

The hydroponic production of lettuce has revolutionised the salad industry worldwide. Crops can be produced year round, with the benefits of faster, cleaner production and a premium quality end-product. At the same time, newer varieties of lettuce, with improved colours and leaf shapes, have seen the market expand dramatically.

This book is designed to provide essential information of a practical and scientific nature for current and prospective hydroponic lettuce growers. While hydroponic salad crops are often seen as being easier to produce than fruiting crops, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, the degree of skill required to produce a quality product and effectively utilise hydroponic technology is still high. The text explores everything from the background physiology of the lettuce plant, to the details of growing systems and management, raising seedlings, selecting cultivars, nutrition, pests and diseases, and harvesting.

Hydroponic Lettuce Production represents an essential handbook for salad production in the 21st Century.
