Substrate Culture Abstract   

Substrate cultivation is the largest method in soilless cultivation. It fixes crop in organic or inorganic substrate, by method of dripping or trickle irrigation, and supplies crops nutrient solution. Culture substrate can be filled into a plastic bag, or laid in the cultivation channels or grooves. Substrate culture nutrient solution is not circulating, known as opening system, which can avoid the spread of disease through the circulation of nutrient solution.

Substrate culture has strong buffer ability, so there is no contradiction of moisture, nutrients and O2, and the equipment is more simple than hydroponics and aeroponics, even without the need of power, so less investment, low cost. This culture method is widely used in production.

The advantage of substrate culture

Our company is located in Qingzhou City, Shandong province, cover an area of 7000 square meters, which possesses register capital RMB3,000,000.00, more than 50 stuffs, and which is a high-tech enterprise in the integration of product research and development, process design, manufacturing, installation, sales and after-sales. The company study and introduce domestic and foreign advanced scientific and technological achievements continuously to supply high-efficiency, save-energy and environmental products and solution.
The company’s main scope of business includes: building and installation of glass greenhouse, PC greenhouse, film greenhouse, solar energy greenhouse, sunlight greenhouse; production and sales of greenhouse parts and hydroponics, soilless system; building light steel structure; design, plan and building of garden and park and inner greenhouse; research and promotion of hydroponic vegetable; research and promotion of other agricultural technology and eco-agriculture.

Coco nut Coir Cultivation System:

1.The soilless system is used coconut coir as substrate. There is nutrient solution supply machine, which can control the EC value and PH value automatically. Inside installs hanging pipe and hanging line.

2.Substrate: coconut coir

The parameter of coconut coir: biological and environmental, plenty of organic nutrients, retaining water and ventilating.

PH value: 5.5-6.5, EC value≤600μs/cm

3. PVC planting trough

The planting trough is made of PVC pipe, thickness 3-4mm, the top width 180mm, bottom width 120mm and height 160mm. The planting trough can be put on shelves, and also can be put on the ground or under ground. The PVC trough has many sizes, customized by the buyer.

4. Planting arrangement

Install 8-9 rows in the greenhouse with 12m span, evenly distributed; Install 5-6 rows in the greenhouse with 8m span, evenly distributed. One side is a little high, and the other side is a little low for drainage of the wast nutrient solution. Install track between the two rows for daily management and picking.

5. Irrigation and fertilization

The irrigation system is including nutrient solution supply machine, water pipe, branch pipe and drip nozzle.

 The machine can be controlled EC value and PH value automatically. The main water pipe is PVC pipe.
