- Intervention effect Nutrient solution composition did not affect marketable yield, shoot biomass or leaf area index.
- Intervention effect A high calcium proportion increased leaf calcium and chlorophyll concentrations.
- Intervention effect Spring plants had lower yield, total dry biomass and leaf area index than summer plants.
- Intervention effect Spring plants had lower leaf N, K and Mg content than summer plants.
- Intervention effect Spring plants had lower total carotenoids and water use efficiency than summer plants.
- Intervention effect Spring plants had higher glucose and fructose content than summer plants.
- Intervention effect Spring plants had lower nitrate content than summer plants.
- Association Growing season had a more pronounced effect on performance than nutrient solution composition.
