Abstract
In the context of the growing shortage of water and land resources, aquaponics technologies represent a promising alternative for highly productive food production. Through the use of nutrient waste from aquaculture, hydroponics receives organic fertilizer, which eliminates the use of (synthetic) nutrients and neutralizer conditioners for water purification. One of the most important tasks for producers is to optimize the use of water resources. This study shows the effect of the aquaponic system on the content of hydrobiont metabolism products in water – phosphates, nitrites, and nitrates. A comparative analysis of the growth and average daily growth of microgreens with control plants was also carried out.
