北海道水耕番茄

水耕栽培 一顆種子年產2萬顆番茄 TVBS – 2011年7月20日 日本北海道有一座利用水耕栽培,種植出來的番茄森林,在這個地方,一個番茄種子,一年就能長出2萬顆左右的番茄,水耕栽種方式產量相當驚人,帶您到日本看看這個農業新技術。 導覽員:「我們要過馬路了,請拿起笛子。」 鴨嘴笛尖銳的聲響,在遼闊的草原上傳遞開來,有人戲稱,在北海道,牛的數量可能比人還多,得天獨厚的自然環境,是他們推展環境教育的最大幫手。 在台灣被稱為「草泥馬」的羊駝,是這座牧場的人氣動物,來到這邊,不只可以餵羊駝吃草,還可以看羊駝表演;其實不只羊駝,這座牧場裡的動物,還包括迷你馬、綿羊、乳牛、甚至是少見的駱馬;透過耕耘機拉動的遊園列車,近距離觀察野生動物,這只是牧場裡環境教育的一部分,因為牧場裡真正特別的,其實不是動物,而是植物。 TVBS記者郭展毓:「紅澄澄的番茄長在我的頭頂上,事實上我現在所在的位置,就是在一整座的番茄森林當中,這座番茄森林很特別的是,是用水耕栽培的方式培育出來的。」 盤根錯節的番茄樹,全從底下這個大水槽裡長出來,抬頭一瞧,一顆顆鮮紅的番茄,看起來讓人口水直流,不說大家恐怕很難想像,這棵巨大的番茄樹,可是由一顆種子發展出來的。 Ecorin村大森泰明:「要在土裡扎根,(對植物來說)會造成壓力,所以(水耕)可以減少這困擾,在水中有著讓根繁殖成長的環境,透過這種方式,根會不斷成長,從根部可以得到很多水分和營養,才會長得這麼大。」 所謂水耕栽培,就是不用土壤,只用加了肥料的水來栽種植物,這株番茄樹,一年下來,預估可以收穫將近2萬顆番茄,而且為了促進成長,番茄樹在每天早晚,還得聽音樂才行。Ecorin村大森泰明:「我們認為音樂,可以為植物成長帶來好的影響,所以每天早晚都會放音樂。」 這座番茄森林的意義,不只在種出多少的番茄,展示水耕栽培的農業技術,讓番茄森林多了一層教育意義。

荷蘭的養耕共生

Aquaponic systems are being increasingly recognised as having potential for solving some of the many problems facing modern agriculture and aquaculture. MIKE NICHOLS profiles two very different commercial aquaponic systems that embrace new ideas and innovations. Deep flow system showing aeration. I recently stopped off for a few days in Alberta, Canada, to meet up with Dr Nick Savidov, the Greenhouse Team Leader of the Crops Diversification Research Centre, Brooks, where I was briefed about their $15 million investment in state-of-the-art research greenhouses to be built in the next 12 months. I also learnt that he has greatly improved his aquaponic project with a few minor ‘tweaks’, which now make it significantly more productive and sustainable than the model developed by Jim Rekocy (US Virgin Islands) on which the original Brooks project was based. Nick has made more efficient use of expensive greenhouse floor spac...

綠化的一角來養魚

Fish Farms, With a Side of Greens 綠色的一角來養魚 Jeff Redmon 報導 Sweet Water Organics, a company in Milwaukee, raises perch and grows leafy green vegetables in a former factory. Sweet Water Organics, Genevieve Roberts攝影 Aquaponics-a combination of aquaculture, or fish cultivation, and hydroponics, or water-based planting -utilizes a symbiotic relationship between fish and plants. Fish waste provides nutrients for the plants, which in turn filter the water in which the fish live. Cuttings from plant are composted to create food for worms, which provide food for the fish, completing the cycle. “Aquaponics is a method of delivering multiple crops with minimum input, through a closed-loop method of farming,” said Charlie Price, founder of Aquaponics UK, the nonprofit organization that runs the farm. A kilogram, or 2.2 pounds, of fish food, produces at least 50 kilograms of vegetables and 0.8 kilogram of fish, he said. “As the ecosystem becomes self-sustainable, the fish food come...
