Abstract:

In order to select suitable nutrient solution formulas for hydroponic cultivation of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. seedlings, a floating cultivation model was used to study the effects of different nutrient solution formulas on biomass and morphological indicators of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum seedlings. The results showed that in terms of biomass and morphological indicators of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, formula A had the most lateral branches, large and numerous leaves, large crown width, long root system, and growth, followed by Japanese horticultural universal formula and formula B. Formula C had the worst growth of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum and was not suitable for hydroponic seedling growth. The ice crystal grains on the leaves and stem segments of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum seedlings grown with formulas A and B containing 2 000 mg·L-1 NaCl were larger. In conclusion, formula A is most suitable for the growth of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum seedlings in hydroponics. Under this salt concentration, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum grows well, the ice crystal grains on the stem and leaves are large, and the marketability is good. This article provides a reference for nutrient solution formulation for the large-scale hydroponics production of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
