Study: Effects of different straw breeding substrates on tomato growth

Traditional substrate cultivation is now a routine practice in vegetable facility breeding. However, finding renewable substrates that can replace traditional substrates is urgent in today’s production. In this study, the researchers used the ‘Pindstrup’ substrate as a control and two types of composite substrates made from fermented corn straw (i.e. 0–3 and 3–5 mm) to identify appropriate substrate conditions for tomato seedling growth under winter greenhouse conditions.
