Abstract

Recent agricultural technology advancements have introduced innovative techniques like vertical farming and plant factories, offering precision agriculture. However, leafy green vegetables are dominantly grown in vertical farms with high-tech hydroponics, and fruit crops with relatively large plant sizes are neglected in vertical farming. To broaden the range of crops suitable for vertical farming, it is crucial to not only explore and develop novel varieties but also establish tailored cultivation systems. We cultivated the diminutive "Micro-Tom" tomato variety using two different hydroponic systems and assessed its productivity. After conducting four cultivation cycles and three yield trials, we verified the viability of hydroponic cultivation for mini-tomato plants. Our results suggest that enclosed vertical farms, where the external environment is strictly controlled, are more suitable for cultivating small fruit crops. These findings offer promising insights for the future application of hydroponics and vertical farming to various crops.

微型番茄栽培品种在两种水培系统中的产量比较评估
最近的农业技术进步引入了垂直耕作和植物工厂等创新技术,提供了精准农业。然而,在采用高科技水培技术的垂直农业中,绿叶蔬菜的种植占主导地位,而植株相对较大的水果作物在垂直农业中受到忽视。要扩大适合垂直耕作的作物范围,关键是不仅要探索和开发新品种,还要建立量身定制的栽培系统。我们使用两种不同的水培系统栽培了 "Micro-Tom "小型番茄品种,并对其产量进行了评估。在进行了四个栽培周期和三次产量试验后,我们验证了微型番茄水培的可行性。我们的研究结果表明,外部环境受到严格控制的封闭式垂直农场更适合栽培小型水果作物。这些研究结果为今后将水培法和垂直耕作应用于各种作物提供了很好的启示。
