Impact of Microplastic-Amended Soil on Seed Germination of Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i>) in a Controlled Environment by Abigail Tatum, Victoria Martin, Vanaja Kankarla

“…The experiments were conducted in the germination chamber for 30 days at optimum germination temperatures of 25/18 °C day/night, with a 12-h photoperiod. The physical (texture, structure), chemical (pH, EC, moisture content (MC), and biological (microorganisms count) properties of the soil were analyzed in the laboratory to understand the impact of MPs on soil properties. …”

Potassium Sulfate Supplementation with Elevated Electrical Conductivity Was Unproductive for Hydroponic Strawberry at the Original Yamazaki Nutrient Solution Nitrogen Level by Jonathan Ries, Qingwu Meng, Yujin Park

“…The experiment was conducted inside an indoor vertical farm at a 23 °C air temperature with an extended photon flux density (400–750 nm) of 350 µmol·m−2·s−1 under an 18-hour photoperiod. Increasing the K concentration from 117 to 348 mg·L−1 had minimal effects on plant growth characteristics of both cultivars, although root dry mass of ‘Monterey’ increased linearly with increasing K. …”
