This research demonstrates improved biomass production in hydroponically grown medicinal plants, indicating potential benefits for herbal medicine cultivation.
As a controlled growing condition, hydroponic cultivation offers high yield, yet its application to medicinal plants remains limited. This paper highlights the advantages of hydroponic systems for root drugs crops, in particular for the cultivation of Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) and Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea). Valerian grown hydroponically produced higher root biomass than soilgrown plants, and Rhodiola rhizome showed stable growth and development. These results indicate that hydroponics is a promising approach for producing high-quality medicinal plant raw materials.
