The Crop Physiology Laboratory has used hydroponic plant culture for over two decades to precisely control the rootzone environment. Our work includes the development of unique nutrient solution recipes for specific crops; the development of procedures to control nutrients in recirculating hydroponic culture; the effect of ammoniumnitrate ratios on growth and yield; and the testing of organic buffers to stabilize pH. In February 2003, Bruce Bugbee traveled to New Zealand to present a keynote address on hydroponics at the South Pacific Soilless Culture Conference.
