By: V. Lam*, J. Choi*, S. Kim*, J. Park* & R. Hernandez n

author keywords: days after transplanting; deep flow technique; greenhouse; shoot fresh and dry weight; unit area
TL;DR: It is suggested that watercress yield could be optimized by growing plants under 14-cm spacing and harvesting at 35 DAT, whereasgrowing plants under 20-cm spaced and harvested at 56 DAT would be an optimal method for increasing glucosinolate content without negatively affecting the growth of plants grown under a hydroponic culture system in a greenhouse.

MeSH headings : Agriculture / instrumentation; Agriculture / methods; Environment, Controlled; Light; Spectrum Analysis
TL;DR: It is suggested that the type of spectral characterization that is performed is required to fully interpret the results of research examining plant responses to different types of screen and net, and would benefit material manufacturers, researchers, growers, and horticultural consultants, enabling material selection to better match the solutions sought by growers and their desired outcomes regarding plant performance.
