Open hydroponic systems are widely present in the European modern agriculture. However, in open hydroponic systems drainages are released into the environment. The drainages are composed by 31% of nitrates, and 48% of potassium applied as fertilizers, with the concomitant pollution and eutrophication of land and water. As an alternative to open hydroponic systems, a full re-circulation system , also known as closed system, have been developed in The Netherlands, but the percentage of producers that use it i
- To demonstrate through the design, construction and set up of a full re-circulation pilot system the technological possibility for Euro-Mediterranean regions of drainage reuse. The pilot system will be assayed in tomato plants, one of the most economically important and extended crop in south Europe. The pilot system proposed here will be able to collect the drainages coming from the normal irrigation of the tomato plantation, to disinfect them and to adjust the nutrient concentration, pH and electrical c
