Agronomic traits of hydroponically grown nettle under conditions of two irrigation intervals

The ebb and flow system is a hydroponic technique for growing plants that allows rational water use and management of water stress to obtain plant material rich in bioactive compounds. The risk with this technique is the lower yield and the deterioration of the morphological characteristics of the cultivated plants that can occur. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 2 intervals of irrigation intervals on the agronomic traits of stinging nettle in 2 harvest periods. The combination of 48 hours of water stress and the 2nd harvest period gave the highest yield (1.21 kg m-2), while the combination of 72 hours of water stress and the 1st harvest period resulted with the lowest nettle yield (0.65 kg m-2).
