Abstract
Nowadays, hydroponics is an advanced method for plant production in agriculture. The optimal balance of nutrients in the nutrient solution is crucial to enhance plant performance in this method. To investigate the effect of potassium to calcium (K:Ca) ratio change in nutrient solution on quantitative and qualitative yield of lilies in hydroponic culture, a randomized complete block design with nine treatments and three replications was designed and carried out in 30% perlite and 70% sand. The treatments included different concentrations of calcium (Ca) at three levels of 0, 3, and 6 mM and different concentrations of potassium (K) at three levels of 0, 3, and 6 mM in the Hoagland nutrient solution, with K:Ca ratios of 0:0, 0:3, 0:6, 3:0, 3:3, 3:6, 6:0, 6:3, and 6:6. Results showed that the presence of different levels of potassium and calcium was found to enhance the quality of lilies by influencing nutrient uptake. The results indicated that nutrient solutions containing different ratios of K:Ca had a significant effect on reproductive height, the number of aborted buds, stem diameter at the 5% level and the number of flowers, the number of leaves, the fresh weight of shoots, the dry weight of shoots, and the longevity at the 1% level. The highest yield in terms of longevity (17 days), the number of flowers, the number of leaves, and absorption of potassium and calcium were observed in the nutrient solution with a 3:3 K:Ca ratio.
