Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to see if aeroponics farming might be used as an alternative to greenhouse soil-based production in temperate India. In the aeroponics system, most photosynthetic parameters had higher values, resulting in a better yield per plant for the system. Crop quality improved as well under the aeroponics system, as evidenced by higher values of quality parameters such as chlorophyll, protein content, catalase, and peroxidase activity. The study's findings validated aeroponics chrysanthemum production as a viable and long-term alternative to traditional soil-based chrysanthemum production.
