    particularly sensitive to soil activity. They require a lower quantity of SOIL ACTIVITY fertilizer because they utilize the reserve of nutrients in the seed. This is true even for resistant species such as sugar beet and alfalfa.

    IRRIGATION WATER WATER CONDUCTIVITY The irrigation water must be checked regularly, especially in the hydro- ponics industry. Conductivity is the most important parameter to check NUTRITIVE SOLUTIONS since plants can be seriously damaged by too high EC value. The nutritive solutions constitute one of the most important factors in Water used for irrigation has been classified in four classes, depending on determining the plant’s growth and yield.
