“Sowing Ideas Is How We Grow Knowledge Together”
– Joe Pate
As part of our Core Values, we have created a blog to exchange inspiring new ideas and collaborate with anyone who believes in a future with an abundance of fresh food, water, and air for generations to come.
pH During Cycling in Aquaponics
The pH level is one of the essential factors in aquaponics. pH stands for potential hydrogen, a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the water. It has a significant effect on the growth and health of both the plants and fish in the system. The acceptable pH range...
Guide To Choosing a Water Quality Lab for Your Aquaponics Operation
Choosing a Qualified Laboratory for Macro and Micro Mineral Testing of Water Quality What to Look for in a Qualified Water Quality Laboratory When selecting a qualified laboratory for macro and micro mineral testing of water quality, it is important to take into...
Potassium in Aquaponic Systems
Potassium is an essential element for higher plants. This element plays a vital role in many important biological processes. For instance, in aquaponic systems, it is important to carefully manage potassium levels to ensure optimal plant growth and yield. In this...
Synergy Between Ammonium & Nitrate
💡Protein synthesis is fundamental in all living organisms, including plants. It involves the construction of proteins from amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The synthesis of proteins is essential for the proper functioning of plants and is...
Transpiration Rate and Nutrient Uptake
💡 In plants, transpiration, along with root pressure, affects the rate of water flux across both the root and xylem vessels. Increasing the rate of transpiration can sometimes enhance the uptake and placements of elements in the xylem. This enhancement depends on...
Why Nitrogen Is Important to Plants
💡 About 1-5% of total plant dry matter consists on nitrogen, which is the second highest required element in plants, second only to carbon. Nitrogen is essential for plant metabolism as a constituent of proteins, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, co-enzymes, phytohormones...
Profitability of Small-scale Aquaponics
💡 A recent study was conducted to determine the profitability of a commercial-scale aquaponics farm dedicated to tilapia and lettuce production. By integrating design and operational data into a techno-economic analysis(TEA), parameters such as initial investment...
Free Best Practices Guides for Download
💡 In early November 2022, Resource Innovation Institute(RII) has released three free horticulture best practices guides for CEA operations. Each guide is available for individual download at absolutely no cost. These guides provide in-depth description of three...
Plant Extracts as Insecticides
💡As agriculture's role in sustaining human life has become burdened with demand, the use of harmful chemicals has also risen to allow abundant, pest-free crops. Synthetic insecticides offer quick, effective mitigation strategies, but their increased use has led to...
Medicinal Plants Grown in Aquaponics
💡 Aquaponics and hydroponics both are used primarily to cultivate vegetables and leafy greens. The prospect of cultivating medicinal plants using aquaponics and hydroponics to optimize secondary metabolites in medicinal plants is an exciting venture....
Aquaculture Conditions on Oysters
💡 Bivalve mollusks (clams, oysters, mussels, scallops) are high in both animal protein and consumer demand. The Portuguese oyster, Crassostrea angulata, is one of the highest in-demand species among warm-water farmed bivalve mollusks. To increase the yield of this...
Essential Elements for Plant Life
💡 The presence or concentration of an element in a plant does not signify that elements essentiality to the plant. Plants are limited in which elements they are able to absorb, regardless of its essentiality or toxicity to its growth. Their selective uptake of...
Why Do Most Fish Farms Fail?
💡 Aquaculture, the practice of farm raising fish, is positioned as the most probable and feasible response to providing responsibly-raised seafood to a market disadvantaged with dwindling supplies and unreliable sources. Although a seemingly attractive and...
Oral Vaccination in Aquaculture
💡 Fish oral vaccines have increased in both use and availability in recent years, but their efficacy on a fish's immune system is under studied. Before reaching the immunological site, gastric acids and enzymes degrade the effectiveness of oral vaccinations. 📌...
Controlling Powdery Mildew Using Fungi
💡 Entomopathogenic fungi are typically soil-dwelling microorganisms that infect and kill insects and other arthropods( spiders, mites, centipedes). Being more tolerant to changing environmental conditions than other microbial biocontrols, fungal biological control...
Collagen from Aquaponic Tilapia Skin
💡 Collagen, a protein found in skin and connective tissues, used in biomedical applications is normally derived from the tissue of animals such as cattle, pigs, horses, and sheep. However, disease transmission risks, immune reactions, and cultural and religious...
Using AR in Aquaponics for Reality-Based Education
💡 Researchers developed an educational augmented reality(AR) program centered on aquaponics to identify the impact AR has on students' learning gains, motivation of students to learn about aquaponics, and student's overall satisfaction using AR. The experiment...
Does the Rainbow Trout Need Aquaponics?
💡 A rapidly changing climate in open-loop aquaculture systems is leading to increased aquatic mortalities and lower productivity. Although rainbow trout is one of the major freshwater fish cultured globally, it is commercially under-developed in aquaponics. 📌...
Short-cycle Harvesting to Avoid Tip Burn in Indoor Growing
💡 Tip burn is an environmental nutrient disorder that appears in the later weeks of the production cycle, between weeks 5-6. Tip burn occurs when there is a calcium deficiency at the edges of the inner leaves due to the plant's growth ability to outpace the calcium...
Overfishing and Aquaculture’s Needed Response
Using fish in an aquaponics system feeds two sources: plants and humans. The fish provide the bacterial-rich effluent that converts into plant food, and humans consume a hearty diet of fish for a protein-rich diet. A small cohort of fish grown aquaponically could be...
