چکیده
The development of aeroponic cultivation technology has led to more efficient use of water and plant nutrients for producing high quality agricultural commodities. In this research, cucumbers were grown in columnar aeroponic systems for nine weeks and the effect of spraying rate and spraying duration on the cucumber average yield and water usage efficiency were investigated. The experiments were performed using factorial experiment based on completely randomized designs. The spraying rate had three levels of ۱۲۵, ۲۵۰ and ۳۷۵ mL/min, and the spraying durations were ۱۰, ۱۵ and ۲۰ min. During the experiment, the spraying pumps were turned off for ۱۵ min between each spraying time. Then, the two factors were simultaneously optimized using response surface methodology to maximize fruit yield and water usage efficiency. The ANOVA results showed that both responses were significantly affected by the main effects of the factors (α = ۰.۰۱) and by their interaction effects (α = ۰.۰۵). The comparison of first and second-order models to show the average yield and water usage efficiency as functions of sparing rate and sparing time indicated that the second-order models fitted with higher accuracies (R۲> ۸۰%) to the experimental data than the first-order model. Simultaneous optimization showed that the most suitable spraying rate was ۲۳۳.۳۷ mL/min and for the spraying duration, it was ۱۶.۰۶ min. At the optimum conditions, the average yield per plant yield was ۲.۹۶ kg and the water usage efficiency was ۱۱۰.۳۷ kg/m۳.کلیدواژه ها
