The Plant Nutrition from the Gas Medium in Greenhouses: Multilevel Simulation and Experimental Investigation

It is extremely important to reduce the action of man-made factors on the environment and vegetables and crops grown in greenhouses. On the one hand, the whole year round, greenhouse technologies provide the production of vegetables and other crops, which contain microand macroelements necessary for the vital activity of human being. On the other hand, the use of the technologies implies the use of mineral fertilizers for extra root and foliar nutrition in order to intensify the production. However, despite the use of drop irrigation and small doses of mineral feeding, the concentrations of various heavy metal compounds, radioactive and poisonous substances in the soil of greenhouses reach the limit values after 2–3 years of its service. Then the exhausted soil should be disposed and replaced by new soil, and this is hundreds and thousands of tons.
