What is Aeroponics for High-Value Root Crops about?
An aeroponic system was developed to grow burdock, an herbal root crop, with more consistent quality and yields than soil-based systems. Burdock was grown for 10 weeks in an A-frame aeroponic system and in a greenhouse soil mix as a control. Plants in the aeroponic system had significantly higher aerial biomass but similar root biomass compared to the control. While chlorogenic acid concentrations in roots were not significantly different, variability was lower in aeroponically grown plants, indicating more
