An Improved Method for Growing Mature Corn (Zea Mays L.) by Solution Culture1

C. A. Osmond and R. B. Clark2

A method for growing corn (Zea mays L.) plants to maturity in nutrient solutions is described. Plants were grown in 18-liter polyethylene containers, and held upright by wires extending from a center dowel which was securely fastened to the tight-fitting container lid. Ease, simplicity, and flexibility made it convenient to use. No special equipment was required. The method overcame many of the problems inherent with sand and gravel cultures.

Key Words: Nutrient solutions • Water culture
