CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Nutrient solutions are liquid mixtures that contain water and essential plant
nutrients. Nutrient solution temperatures may reach injuriously high levels during
summers, or damaging low levels in winters, which strongly influence growth and
survival of the whole plant. Nutrient solution can be prepared from various sources, such
as chemical fertilizers, organic materials, or wastewater.
The composition and concentration of nutrient solution depend on the type and
stage of the plant, the environmental conditions, and the system design. Nutrient solution
must be monitored and adjusted regularly to maintain the optimal pH, electrical
conductivity, and oxygen level for plant health and productivity. Nutrient
solution temperatures may reach injuriously high levels during summers, or damaging
low levels in winters, which strongly influence growth and survival of the whole plant.
This parameter not only depends on solar radiation and aerial temperature but also on the
characteristics of the system. In general, soilless systems are exposed to larger daily
variations in root temperatures than soil systems (Kafkafi, 2001)
Generally, the study will be conducted to help farmers have knowledge on what nutrient
solution is the best for crops.
Scope
This study focuses on the effect of different nutrient solution on the growth of an
Eggplant (Solanum Melongena L.). This research is all about looking for a nutrient
solution suitable for soil based plants. We will be Experimenting by using different kinds
of nutrient solution on Eggplants (Solanum Melongena L.)
Limitation
This study will not cover the other problems that are not necessarily connected on
identifying the nutrient solution suitable for soil based plants. We will not exceed on our
purpose.
