HORTICULTURE IDROPON

Hydroponics is a technology aimed the cultivation of plants in a nutrient solution (water containing nutrients), with or without the support of an inert medium (perlite, rock wool, etc.).. Hydroponics is made mostly in greenhouses to , requires considerable initial investment and high proficiency.
is still very productive and ergonomic use water efficiently, fertile izzanti and space, and (potentially) reduce pollution. To enhance this potential in such production systems is preferred affect the environment by acting, for example, the air temperature and / or the growth medium, the availability of light and the relative humidity of air.
Hydroponics has been used in the past mainly on studies of plant physiology.
Around 1860, Sachs and Knop, two German plant physiologists, recognizing how difficult it is to study qualitatively and quantitatively the essential nutrients in plants grown in a complex medium such as soil, grow plants with roots immersed in a solution of salts minerals, whose chemical composition was controlled within the limits set by the purity of pr Oducts chemicals available at that time.
Only since 1929, thanks to the genius of William F. Gericke, plant physiologist at the University of California (Berkeley), hydroponics has also been used to grow plants on a commercial scale (Santamaria, 2001).
addition to these two uses now traditional, hydroponics is proposed for other uses, some quite bizarre, other pioneering.
Biocompatibilità e autotossicità
Uno dei problemi che è stato affrontato negli studi finalizzati breeding of plants in extreme conditions is that the biocompatibility of the species when they are kept at the same time, and maybe even using the same solution and nutritious. For example, Mortley et al. (1998), peanut and sweet potato breeding in NFT, in monoculture or in intercoltura (in separate channels in which a nutrient solution was distributed shared), have shown that intercoltura of these two species reduces the production of peanut due to allelopathic exudates released from roots of sweet potato.
Thanks to a hydroponic system, Asao et al. (2003) have shown that the reduction of plant growth taro (Colocasia esculenta Schott) in monoculture can be attributed to aromatic acids such as benzoic acid, and aliphatic acids such as adipic acid, which is emitted from the roots of plants.
In nursery
To obtain material asexual propagation of artichoke high quality and affordable Temperini et al. (2000) have developed a hydroponic cultivation technique that allows to obtain certificates rooted shoots. The technique involves the cultivation of mother plants hailing from Roman artichoke micropropagation and recovered by telluric pathogens and viruses, and grown without soil in a protected environment; cycle crop plants are regularly treated with a plant growth regulator and pollarded to promote the release of offshoots from the rhizome. Subsequently, the offshoots are removed and cold stored until May when they are made to embed in alveolar containers for rooted shoots are capable of being transplanted in summer. Another application involves the use
dell'aeroponica to produce spores of AM fungi effectively free of substrate. The colonized root material can be sheared and to give an inoculum density of propagules very high. To produce saplings of acacia (Acacia mangium Willd.) Associated with mycorrhizae, the aeroponics has proved more effective than ground. In addition, beyond faster micorrizzazione mushrooms, this technique allows an increase in content of phosphorus and chlorophyll in plant tissues. For this reason, aeroponics is considered an innovative and appropriate technology to produce large quantities of saplings associated with soil micro-organisms such as mycorrhizal fungi, for reforestation of degraded lands in the humid tropics (Martin-Laurent et al., 1999).
hydroponics principles can be applied to in vitro, under aseptic conditions, in miniature greenhouses, the technique is called microponica. Through appropriate conditions, it seeks to stimulate fotoautotrofia of seedlings in vitro, and the change in the heterotrophic metabolism in autotrophic metabolism to make the plant closer to in vivo conditions.
For example, to facilitate the achievement of good levels of autonomy in autotrophic cultures of Passiflora incarnata L. was used a liquid culture medium of LS half-strength with reduced level of sucrose (1.5%), perlite and has been used as artificial substrate alternative to traditional gelling agents (Lucchesini et al., 2003).
healthy dietary and medicinal products
hydroponic cultivation also gives the possibility to produce vegetables with some aspects of quality have definitely improved, and sometimes special requirements dietetici (Santamaria e Valenzano, 2001). L’impiego di soluzioni nutritive con concentrazioni note, e quindi la possibilità di controllo quantitativo e qualitativo del processo di alimentazione idrica e minerale della pianta, rende l’idroponica particolarmente interessante per l’arricchimento minerale o la riduzione del contenuto di nitrati degli ortaggi da foglia (Charfeddine, 2004).
Un altro impiego dell’idroponica che suscita interesse è la coltivazione di piante medicinali quali echinacea (Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, bardana (Arctium lappa L.), ginseng (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), gingko (Gingko biloba L.), ecc. (Hayden et al., 2004).
Più in particolare, l’aeroponica is a system that shows great potential for the production of clean roots, and more uniform ripening faster than the conventional technique of cultivation on soil (Table 1).

HORTICULTURE IDROPON
For hydroponic mean one of the soilless cultivation techniques: the mineral nutrition is replaced by an inert substrate (expanded clay, perlite, vermiculite, coconut fiber, rock wool, zeolite , etc.).. The plant is watered with a nutrient solution composed of water and compounds (mostly inorganic) needed to make all the necessary elements normally recruited by mineral nutrition. The technique is also known by the term hydroponics.

in space or in Antarctica
The use of biological systems to support life in space has been studied since the beginning of anni ‘50, puntando sulla produzione di alghe (ad esempio clorella) per rigenerare l’ossigeno attraverso la fotosintesi (Golueke e Oswald, 1964). La ricerca ha poi interessato le piante superiori.
La Nasa (National aeronautics and space administration) conduce da quasi 30 anni ricerche sui supporti alla vita utilizzando specie quali batata e arachide come potenziali fonti alimentari per il pe rsonale impegnato nelle missioni spaziali. Le piante sono allevate in idroponica per valutare le loro risposte colturali, nutrizionali e fisiologiche in ambienti controllati. Recentemente, nel corso di una missione di ricerca sullo Space Shuttle Atlantis, è stato realizzato un ciclo completo di coltivazione soybeans in space, from sowing to
production of new seeds (Anonymous, 2002).
Even under extreme conditions such as those of the South Pole is proposed the use of hydroponics, to ensure the psychological and physiological well-being and maintain the eating habits of the personnel involved. On the other hand, high transport costs and long periods of isolation have led RESPONSIBLE ili research programs to evaluate and test the ability to produce directly in Antarctica edible plants in greenhouses with hydroponic systems (Campiotti et al., 1999).
To further improve le condizioni di vita in situazioni estreme, il gruppo di ricerca del Centro di agricoltura in ambiente controllato dell’Università dell’Arizona (Ua-ceac) sta sviluppando una camera di crescita che si compone per un terzo di una “sitting room” dove il personale in missione può entrare, e vedere le colture in produzione attraverso un muro di vetro.
Al momento, comunque, non è stata ancora condotta alcuna ricerca sui benefici psicologici di questa nuova proposta(Giacomelli, comunicazione personale).

Why Is There Red Dots In My Poo
horticulture APPLICATION OF THERAPEUTIC PATIENTS FOR POST-comatose ®
History
The beneficial effects of human contact with nature are already dating at the time of the ancient Egypt. And 'in fact documented the effect of "calming" of a garden on people with mental disorders (Lewis, 1976). But only in the period between the beginning and the end del'700 800 in some clinics in the United States of America, United Kingdom and Spain is rediscovered the relationship between man and plants and begins to be framed as a real therapeutic tool.
In 1798, Benjamin Rush, considered one of the founders of psychiatry, announced that it had found a positive effect resulting from work done with plants at a farm, for people with mental disorders (Tereshkovich, 1975). The results favored a similar number of new trials in both the U.S. and Europe.
This line of thinking has led to build institutions for mental disorders in rural areas in order to actively involve patients in their farming activities to obtain, thus, further evidence of the beneficial effect of tillage on the part of patients with mental disorders.
Only in the twentieth century the therapeutic horticulture (OFFT) begins to be regarded as real and widespread means of therapy. This
especially after the world wars, which caused a high number of injuries and disabilities. In 1917, the Department for Employment of Women Bloomingdale Hospital in White Plains, New York, offered an opportunity for education in horticulture.
This is the first occasion when it was available in a preparation course for horticulture professionals for health care (Tereshkovich, 1975).
The advent of the Second World War marked a decisive step in the development of OFFT.
therapists introduced the cultivation of plants and gardening among Activity of the rehabilitation programs (Lewis, 1976). An important result achieved by the use of OFFT was a decrease of the average period of hospitalization for individuals with physical problems for those with mental disorders (McDonald, 1995).
In 1959, the Rusk Institute for Rehabilitative Medicine in New York started a program OFFT in a greenhouse attached to the Institute.
This program promoted the development of OFFT and moving into new frontiers, making the therapist OFFT part of a response team along with doctors and psychologists and using the OFFT for both diagnostic and for rehabilitation (Lewis, 1976). Since its inception, the program was an important example of the effectiveness of OFFT in treating patients with physical and psychological problems.
Recent years have witnessed the passage of a series of isolated initiatives to an organization and unification of the same notes with the formation of associations like the American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA) and the Canadian Horticultural Therapy Association (CHTA).
THE USE OF OFFT as a therapeutic tool
horticultural therapy is a process in which a restructured system, the identity of the plant and gardening and horticultural activities closely related to it, are used to motivate people to achieve a therapeutic and rehabilitative promoting their psychological well-being and their social integration. The uniqueness of the therapy lies in its concreteness and simplicity, flexibility and diversity of application, satisfaction of time and space.
Horticulture provides the ideal environment to provide incentives and to achieve personal satisfaction.
The people involved in treatment programs can learn new skills to achieve a particular objective linked to development, or they can recover the lost capacity by improving their quality of life.
The potential benefits of this activity are:
Incremento dell’autostima:
la cura di una pianta richiede un impegno che spesso è alla portata di tutti, ed i risultati conseguiti sono facilmente visibili ed in grado di dare soddisfazione al paziente, permettendogli di acquisire fiducia e stima;
Interazione con gli altri:
queste attività servono ai pazienti per socializzare ed interagire tra loro,infatti, durante il lavoro, sono molteplici le circostanze che favoriscono l’interazione;
Aumento delle capacità di controllo:
con queste attività, il paziente può apprendere metodi appropriati per affrontare situazioni di conflitto e sviluppare comportamenti migliori di self-control;
Involvement physical
based on residual capacity of the patient, the level of difficulty of the task performed can be increased, and the constant motion of the body allows the coordination of muscular activity, training of unused muscles, increasing strength muscle, improving balance;
Developing knowledge:
the patient may be motivated to acquire new knowledge, such as the propagation of plants, repotting and preparation of soils;
Development Work attitudes: the
OFFT helps the patient to the development of the attitude and work skills that will help you to become a person capable of moving with ease, in any work environment
OBJECTIVES OF TERAPIA_ORTIcolturale
The goal of therapy is to build an experimental new to the area, but note participants, in an exclusive and protected, under the guidance of professionals more aware and careful.
ortocolturale appearance was viewed by an engineer but, clearly, the primary aim was the observation of behavior and reactions of the participants.
to get to know you better in active situations perceive and evaluate different types character and behavior of individual participants, while the "modularity" of horticulture, broken down into sub-tasks with different levels of difficulty and involvement, allows you to find a suitable job for each and the rest is done by the familiarity with the activities of this green the participants and the opportunity to enjoy a tangible results of their work.
