Control of mineral nutrition of higher plants is one of the problems involved in the development of life support systems. The experiments on carrots cultivated aeroponically have demonstrated that mineral nutrition of plants can be controlled by means of a correction solution applied in accordance with the protocols derived from experimental studies of increase in the plant dry biomass.
