Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the purpose of improving the productivity of the plant factory, hydroponic solution was monitored. Major nutrients, K, Ca, Mg, Na, ammonium ion, nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, were analyzed by CE with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (C4D). The major nutrients of NFT (nutrient film technique) hydroponic solution of spinach cultivation, were successfully measured. Among the trace elements, the need for monitoring of copper ion has been suggested. It has been also suggested that fluorescent substances in the hydroponic solution have the potential as stress markers of plants.
