Abstract

The growth of microorganisms in the nutrient solution of a circulating hydroponic system was suppressed by ultra-violet radiation. Applied for three hours daily (572 Jm^-2 h^-1) throughout experiments in which tomato and corn were grown, it was effective in reducing the population of microorganisms from between 500-800·10³ to 10-50·10³ cells per ml.
