This resarch aims to to evaluate the possibility to cultivate plants in artificial bioregenerative systems in Space, to regenerate resources and produce food. Space-oriented experiments are carried out in closed growth chamber under controlled environment to evaluate the adaptation of soybean plants to soilless culture (hydroponics), and the plant response to changing cultural parameters, in order to identify the best cultivation protocol for BLSS. Treatments are evaluated in terms of agronomic and physiological traits, seed quality and technical parameters. |
