| Popis: | 105 In response to the global warming caused by climate changes in recent years, frequent drought and floods, lace of crop production, food security and food safety problems in Taiwan could form a considerable crisis. And in recent years, people living in urban environments use the surroundings, roofs and terraces to produce crops and integrate fish and aquaculture cultivation to form aquaponic system. It has become a trend to achieve bilateral productions to provide for people's lives. The purposes of the study were to develop a new plant wall structure system with designed circulating the water supply system, regardless whether it was hydroponic or soil cultivation. This study was based on the literature review, the current patented planted wall and my personal experiences to modify and transform the existing pots into a new pot form. The experimental site was situated on the east-side terrace of the 8th floor of Chung-chin Building in FCU. For conducting the action research in summer water spinach and Fuzhou lettuce test, in winter Hongyan red tip lettuce and golden cabbage and in spring red crepe lettuce, ice-berg lettuce combining with fishes growing were used to test the system in order to obtain the best combination of the whole system. According to the experimental results lettuce, water spinach and other leafy crops could be harvested in 3 to 4 weeks, but the golden cabbage due to lack of nutrients leading to poor growth and resulted in not being able to form a ball. Through the action research to adjust the system it finally reach a near perfect condition. According to the research results there was no limit on plants growth during the winter but the high nutrient demanding crops was not suitable for using in aquaponic system. In conclusion for equipping an auqaponic system to cultivate crops it needs to calculate the size of the pool, number of fishes, filter equipment and motor specifications depending on the extent of site and the crop plant numbers in order to have the best harvest of crops and fishes. |
