The soilless culture system is a promising and sustainable approach for plant production, and research on its interaction with environmental factors, nutrient solution, and substrates is important.
The soilless culture system is a promising, intensive, and sustainable approach with various advantages for plant production. The Special Issue Soilless Culture, Growing Media, and Horticultural Plants includes 22 original papers and 1 review written by 84 authors from 15 countries. The purpose of this Special Issue was to publish high-quality research articles that address the recent developments in the cultivation of horticultural plants in soilless culture systems and solid growing media. The published articles investigated new developments in simplified and advanced systems; the interaction between soilless and environmental factors with their effects on plant growth and photosynthesis, and the accumulation of secondary metabolites; the analyses of nutrient solution and hydraulic properties of substrates and mixtures; and the microbe-plant growing media interactions. Climate change and environmental and ecological issues will determine and drive the development of soilless culture systems and the choice of growing media constituents in the near future. Bioresources and renewable raw materials have great potential for use as growing medium constituents.
