Abstract

Nowadays, vertical multilayer placement of plants on racks is rapidly gaining popularity alongside the classic horizontal cultivation practice. Comparison between plant cultivation methods in functioning units constitutes the basis of the present research. The work has revealed that plants undergo different development stages in accordance with their biological and genetic characteristics and practically do not differ as for time spent in growing compartments. In general, over the entire cycle of leaf vegetables production, it can be noticed that lettuce needs from 30 to 33 days for harvesting in horizontal units and about 27 days in vertical ones. As regards dill, its cultivation does not significantly differ in relation to the unit type and amounts to 34-41 days, while basil revealed quite a wide specter of cultivation both in different units and within complexes ranging from 32 to 48 days, which indicates the reaction of plants to the influence of changes in microclimate and nutrient solution. When analyzing the development stages of arugula and parsley, it should be noticed that harvesting occurs 6-9 days faster in a vertical unit in an experimental container, which allows adding one or two more complete cycles over the year. Thanks to the multilayer placement of plants and subsequently the sufficient lighting of each tier, the Cerera 1.0 container system has reduced the area occupied by 1 plant and increased the number of net pots; as a result, the yielding capacity has increased by 2–3 times per unit area.
