This book is divided into five sections. Topics covered in these sections include: an introduction to aquaponics; grow beds, fish tanks, plumbing, grow media, water; fish, plants, bacteria and worms; cycling fish, and system maintenance. At the end of the book is an Appendices that covers a range of “Rules of Thumb” suggestions, and a list of suggested reading. The book is illustrated with numerous black and white photographs, charts, and graphs. The book gives examples of apartment and home hydroponics setups and commercial-type greenhouse setups.

A resource for teachers, researchers, commercial growers, and advanced students of plant biological science. The book’s eight chapters cover the production of (poly)phenols and medicinal plants; use of light emitting diodes; hydroponic systems and medicinal plants; application of Brassinosteroids; priming with S-Methylmethionine; nitrogen levels and genotype affect, and fruits and vegetables grown hydroponically. Most chapters contain tables, figures, a chapter abstract and introduction, a conclusion, and multiple pages of references.

This book shows home DIYers how to build over a dozen hydroponics growing systems.

This book focuses on commercial scale hydroponic systems. The book would most likely be useful for those responsible for building or operating a commercial hydroponics set-up, which the authors refer to as PFAL (Plant Factory with artificial lighting). The book is divided into four parts. The first section covers the role of PFAL in urban areas, the benefits of a resource-efficient closed plant production system, and rooftop PFALs. The second section covers the physics and physiology that effects a PFAL and the produce that grows in this system. The third part covers system design, construction, cultivation and management. The last section covers the PFALs in operation. The book contains lots of colored graphs, charts, illustrations and lots of colored and black and white photographs. It also has many equations, lists of abbreviations, variable and coefficient names, units and equation numbers, and technical descriptions. At the end of each chapter is a conclusion and a detailed reference list; some of the reference lists.
