Optimal Plant Density, Nutrient Concentration and Rootzone Temperature for Higher Growth and Yield of Brassica rapa L. ‘Curly Dwarf Pak Choy’ in Raft Hydroponic System Under Tropical Climate

Little is known on the optimal plant densities, nutrient concentrations, and rootzone temperatures for Curly Dwarf Pak Choy’ (CDP) production in raft hydroponic system in tropical climate. In this study, five experiments were carried out to assess the growth and yield of CDP at 40, 50 and 61 plants/...
