They propose to improve production of poblano peppers grown in Atoyac, Mexico with hydroponics

Researchers from the Postgraduate College (Colpos) developed a proposal to improve the production of poblano peppers, a key ingredient for the traditional seasonal dish known as "chile en nogada", based on the use of hydroponics in greenhouses. Hydroponics is a system used to cultivate in which mineral compounds are used instead of agricultural soil. The crops receive a nutrient solution dissolved in water with the essential elements for their development. According to the research called "Growth, yield and quality of poblano peppers grown in hydroponics under a greenhouse", developed by Brenda Nataly Hernández Hernández, Mario Alberto Tornero Campante, Engelberto Sandoval Castro, María de las Nieves Rodríguez Mendoza, Oswaldo Rey Taboada Gaytán and Benjamín Peña Olvera, members of Colpos Puebla, the strategy is an alternative solution to the risk of diseases that can affect crops. The study reveals that the cultivation of poblano peppers planted in the soil in Alto Atoyac in ...
