The structure was made up of mild steel hollow pipes of size mm which were bended and welded together to form a Quonset-type structure. Cultivation of spinach by using two different hydroponic methods was carried out under controlled atmosphere and on the open field. Solid media culture and liquid hydroponics were used and in solid media three different types of media were used on cocopeat, soil rite and 50% cocopeat and 50% soil rite. | Effect of different colour of shadenet and growing media on the quality parameters and yield of spinach cultivated by hydroponics
