Absorption of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under a hydroponic system
In Mexico, cucumber is cultivated in greenhouses with a supply of nutriments using a hydroponic system with different nutrient solutions and variable concentrations. However, the absorption of nutrients for optimum growth and yield is not exactly known. Therefore, this research was conducted at the...

| description | In Mexico, cucumber is cultivated in greenhouses with a supply of nutriments using a hydroponic system with different nutrient solutions and variable concentrations. However, the absorption of nutrients for optimum growth and yield is not exactly known. Therefore, this research was conducted at the Universidad Autónoma Chapingo (Mexico) in order to quantify the amount of macro nutriments absorbed by the crops. Four concentrations of the universal Steiner nutriment solution (25, 75, 125 and 175%) in a complete randomized block design were used. The contents of N, P, K, Ca and Mg were measured in the whole plant dry matter; then, the absorption was calculated. Yield was also evaluated.It was found that the highest nutrient absorption occurred with the nutrient solution at 175% of concentration: N 13,055; P 5,730; K 15,143; Ca 37,281 and Mg 9,750 g/plant. |

En México se cultiva pepino en invernadero con sistema hidropónico de suministro de nutrimentos, mediante diferentes soluciones nutritivas, con concentraciones variables, sin embargo, no se conoce con exactitud la absorción de nutrimentos del cultivo para que el crecimiento y producción sean óptimos. Por lo anterior, se hizo una investigación en la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo (México), con el objetivo de cuantificar la cantidad de macro nutrimentos que absorbe el cultivo. Se utilizó diseño en bloques completos al azar y se evaluaron cuatro concentraciones de la solución nutritiva universal de Steiner: 25, 75, 125 y 175%. Se cuantificaron los contenidos de N, P, K, Ca y Mg en la materia seca total de plantas y a partir de estos datos se calculó la absorción. Se encontró que la mayor absorción de nutrimentos ocurrió con la solución nutritiva al 175% de concentración: N 13,055; P 5,730; K 15,143; Ca 37,281 y Mg 9,750 g/planta.
