Russian scientists develop crop system for the Arctic

Moscow, Apr 27 (Prensas Latina) Russian scientists from the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technologies reported that they have developed a hydroponics crop system for the Arctic.

The initiative will be an important element of national security and will make it possible to supply food to the population of territories with an extreme climate, particularly in the Arctic.

The hydroponic system is similar to the General Hydroponics Europe nutrient but contains more nitrogen, and a broader range of microelements, with added organometallic compounds that are used for the recovery of contaminated land.

The results of the studies showed a greater increase in biomass of agricultural products compared to a similar nutrient solution of an international brand.

A 30 percent greater growth of biomass, 65 percent of root mass and 16 percent of leaf blade area was also observed, the information specifies.
