The Water-Culture Method for Growing Plants without Soil. Hoagland, D., R. & Arnon, D., I. California Agricultural Experiment Station, 347(347):1-32, 1950.
abstract   bibtex   
This is a revised edition of a popular account issued in 1938 H.A., 10: 28 based on the investigations of the two authors. Since then, experience in the U.S.A. and elsewhere has failed, in the authors' opinion, to support the early exaggerated claims for the value of the technique. Their experience leads to the conclusion that for its successful operation a knowledge of plant physiology is essential, that its commercial application is only likely to be successful under limited conditions and expert supervision, and that its results are rarely superior to those of soil culture. If, despite this, the would-be "nutriculturist" persists, he will find much to encourage and enlighten him on pp. 23-32, which contain directions on type of container, nature of bed, aeration of root system, planting procedures, the management of solutions, selection and preparation of solution, and the use of nutrient solutions for demonstrating mineral deficiencies.
