Abstract

The fact that agricultural activity is dependent on the availability of land makes matters even more complicated when the climate is shifting dramatically. In this perspective, soilless system production is an appealing choice since it offers the possibility of reusing land that has been unproductive as a result of pollution or illness for agricultural uses while simultaneously reducing the amount of water that is consumed. According to the findings presented in the accompanying discussion and conclusions, the light intensities that are received in treatments consisting of one, two, and three layers all have an impact on the growth and development of Brassica rapa. The covered group with three layers of the net gave the best results in terms of both growth and development when compared to the control group, which only had one layer of net covering. The levels of light and nutrient solutions had a significant impact, respectively, on the expansion and maturation of the Brassica rapa plant. As the number of Brassica rapa layers increases, the output of the Brassica rapa yield has been shown to have better growth and development responses, most notably in plant yield. The effects of nutritional solutions on plant production, fresh weight, water consumption, and nutrient content in leaf tissue showed that there were no significant differences in the interactions between these variables. According to the findings of the study, gathered nutrients have the potential to be used as fertilizer, which will cut down on the need for mineral fertilizer in hydroponic systems. The temperature of the environment is one of the most important abiotic factors that might impede the process of development, production, and dissemination. It is possible to draw the conclusion from the results that the cultivar has a greater capacity to react to the effects of cold stress.
