  Hydroponics

  `A technique of growing plants in nutrient solution”. Hydroponics literally means water-working or water-activation. It is a cultivation technique for growing plants in highly oxygenated, nutrient enriched water, rather than soil. The nutrient solution and its management are the cornerstone for a successful hydroponics system. The function of a hydroponics nutrient solution is to supply the plant roots with water, oxygen and essential mineral elements in soluble form. In soil, biological decomposition breaks down organic matter into basic nutrients that plants feed on. Water dissolves these nutrients which allows uptake by the roots. For a plant to receive a well balanced diet, everything in the soil must be in perfect balance.

  Measuring Ion Concentrations in Hydroponics Samples

  Required Apparatus:

  • Aptisens Digital or Mobile Multiple Ion Kit

  Required chemicals:

  • Aptisens multiple ion conditioning solution
  • Aptisens multiple ion HORTICULTURE calibration solutions
  • Deionised water

  Sample Preparation:
  Typically, it is not a requirement to filter a hydroponics sample.

  Calibration:
  Before use the multiple ion probe must be conditioned in Aptisens multiple ion conditioning solution. Ensure the correct calibration solutions for a three-point calibration are set up on the Mobile meter or MeterLink. Follow the instructions for calibration and proceed to take a sample reading when the calibration data is ‘very good’ or ‘good’ for all ions.

  Sample Reading:
  Place the probe in the aqueous extract and ‘Take a Sample’ reading. The concentrations for each ion will be displayed in ppm or mmol / L.

  Probe Care:
  After taking your reading be sure to remove the sensors from the solution as quickly as possible, rinse with deionised water and replace the cap of the probe.
