Experimental design for hydroponic netted melon cultivation showing the combinations of substrate volume and planting density.
| Substrate volume (L)z | Plants/slab | Planting distance (cm) | Plant density (plants/m²) | Projected of plants per 10 ay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 3 | 30.0 × 150 | 2.2 | 2222 |
| 4 | 22.5 × 150 | 3.0 | 2963 | |
| 20 | 3 | 33.3 × 150 | 2.0 | 2000 |
| 4 | 25.0 × 150 | 2.7 | 2667 |
z Dimensions of 10 L slab: 60 × 15 × 7.5 cm; 20 L slab: 100 × 20 × 10 cm.
y 10 a is equivalent to 1.00.
