أنواع الأنظمة المائية لزراعة الطماطم تُوفّر متاجر المواد الزراعية المواد اللازمة لبناء أنظمة الزراعة المائية؛ مثل: نظام المد والجزر الذي يُعرف بنظام الغمر والتّصريف لأنه يتم غمر النباتات بالمحلول الغذائي، ثم يتم تصريفه قبل أن يمتلئ الوعاء تماماََ، ونظام الزراعة في المياه العميقة، ونظام الغمر المتعدّد، وتقنية الغشاء المغذّي، ويمكن أن تنمو الطّماطم بشكل جيد في جميع الأنظمة السّابقة، إلا أنّ نظام المد والجزر يتميّز بأنّه أقلها تكلفة كما أنّه سهل التّركيب إذا ما توفرت المكونات اللازمة، وهي:[٢][٣] وعاء بلاستيكي يُستخدم كمخزن للماء، على أن يتسع لضعف كمية الماء التي تحتاجها نباتات الطّماطم، حيث تحتاج كل نبتة إلى 9 لتر تقريباً من المحلول الغذائي. صينية بلاستيكية توضع فوق الخزان بطريقة تسمح بتصريف الماء الزّائد إلى الخزان. مضخة مياه يتم تركيبها داخل الخزان، وغالباََ ما تكون المضخات مزوّدة بمُؤقّت خاص بها، يعمل بأوقات منتظمة. أنابيب مياه بلاستيكية يتم تركيبها لتصل بين مضخة الماء والصّينية، ويُراعى تركيب أنبوب في طرف الصّينية لتزويدها بالماء، وأنبوب على الطّرف الآخر من الصّينيّة للسماح بدوران الماء، على أن يكون قُطر أنبوب التصريف أوسع من قُطر أنبوب التزويد بالماء لتجنّب غمر النباتات بالماء. مميزات زراعة الطماطم بدون تربة فيما يأتي أهم مميزات استخدام الأنظمة المائيّة في زراعة نباتات الطّماطم:[٤] تنمو النّباتات التي تُزرع بدون تربة بسرعة أكبر من تلك التي تُزرع في التّربة. تنتج النّباتات ثماراََ أكثر بنسبة تتراوح بين 20-25%. تتيح إمكانيّة زراعة النّباتات في الأماكن التي تكون تربتها فقيرة، أو داخل الشّقق السّكنية. تحتاج إلى مساحة أقل؛ لأنّ النّبات لا يحتاج لتكوين جذور كبيرة الحجم للحصول على حاجته من الماء والعناصر الغذائية، مما يمكّن المزارع من زراعة عدداََ أكبر من النّباتات في مساحة قليلة. تُوفّر الماء، لأنّ الماء يكون داخل حاويات مغلقة لا تسمح بتبخّر الماء.
Types of Hydroponic Systems for Growing Tomatoes Agricultural supply stores provide the materials needed to build hydroponic systems; Such as: the tidal system, which is known as the flooding and draining system because the plants are immersed in the nutrient solution, then drained before the pot is completely filled, the deep water cultivation system, the multiple immersion system, and the nutrient membrane technology, and tomatoes can grow well in all previous systems However, the tidal system is characterized by being the least expensive and easy to install if the necessary components are available, namely: [2] [3] A plastic container used as a water store, provided that it accommodates twice the amount of water needed by tomato plants, as each plant needs to Approximately 9 liters of nutrient solution. A plastic tray placed above the tank in a way that allows excess water to drain into the tank. A water pump that is installed inside the tank, and the pumps are often equipped with a timer of its own, which works at regular times. Plastic water pipes are installed to connect the water pump and the tray, and a pipe is installed at one end of the tray to supply it with water, and a pipe at the other end of the tray to allow water to circulate, provided that the diameter of the drainage pipe is wider than the diameter of the water supply pipe to avoid submerging the plants with water. Advantages of growing tomatoes without soil The most important advantages of using hydroponic systems in growing tomato plants come: [4] Plants grown without soil grow more quickly than those grown in the soil. The plants produce 20-25% more fruits. It provides the possibility of growing plants in places where the soil is poor, or inside residential apartments. need less space; Because the plant does not need to form large roots to obtain its need for water and nutrients, which enables the farmer to grow a larger number of plants in a small space. Water is available, because the water is inside closed containers that do not allow the water to evaporate.
