Influencing factors for the plant growth patterns in hydroponic and aquaponic environments: A subgroup analysis for sustainable agricultural production
Hydroponic and aquaponic agricultural methods have gained popularity in recent years due to their potential for resource-efficient and sustainable production. Yet, a research gap exists concerning the comprehensive understanding of the various factors influencing plant growth and nutrient dynamics within these methods. This study aimed to analyze the key growth parameters like plant height, width, and chlorophyll content in hydroponic and aquaponic environments. The study particularly delved into assessing the influence of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), environmental factors, and location on aquaponic plant growth. Statistical approaches such as one-way ANOVA tests, normality tests, individual value plots, and box plots were utilized to investigate the hypothesis of the study. Hydroponic plant growth outperformed their aquaponic counterparts, exhibiting a remarkable growth pattern with a mean height difference of 3 inches, width of 2 inches, and chlorophyll of 24 μg/cm2 during the fifth week of observation. Moreover, the data adhered to a normal distribution, reinforcing its statistical robustness. Outcomes of the ANOVA test with F-Value (6.09) and p-value (0.015) indicate that BSFL had a statistically significant influence on aquaponic plant growth. Furthermore, environmental factors were identified as significant influencers of plant growth, and the location displayed a strong influence within the same feeding method including the use of BSFL. The overall findings underscore the superior efficacy of the hydroponic method for promoting plant growth and highlight the importance of BSFL, environmental factors, and location for designing and optimizing aquaponic setups.
