At CEICKOR , the husbandry university of Queretaro , the commencement of the 3rd propagation of student of Agro engineer was celebrated on May 23rd .
Mexican industry is growingCEICKOR is an educational center of high technical school tomato produce , horticulture plant life nursery and graft , educating engineers and technician for the growing greenhouse industriousness in Mexico . Their education syllabus is based on developing a whole experience of growing , from building a greenhouse all the style through make up one’s mind the horticulture to be grown , plan schedules and growing process as well as harvest . gift students a complete brainwave on all of high technical school greenhouse management .
FlowersThis 3rd generation of engineers support out from the horticulture focus of CEICKOR because they decided to develop flowers for their dissertation project . The Mexican flower green goods is mainly done in open subject on soil . So they wanted to innovate introducing a hydroponic grown variation of one of Mexico ’s most democratic intersection : Gladiola .
Gladiola has many problem being cultivated in grime , mostly by fusarium contagion that inhibits growing of Gladiolas for more than one or two round on the same ground . This urges growers to seem for new soil to grow on every year or so .

Growing gladiolas hydroponicallyTheir innovation trial was to introduce Gladiolas on a aquicultural system on soilless medium so they could eradicate fusarium transmission and upgrade continuous growing for years to arrive on the same earth .
The results were pleasing : the students harvest more vigorous plants in less clock time . They outdo in quality of the still hunt peak , with 98 % of harvested stalks / bulbs when normally it is about 60 % with field grown , and practically eliminate fusarium . Even the bulbs after cutting were of first-class tone and were produce eminent lineament bulbs for the next cycle .
