The basic formula for the preliminary growth study was composed of the following nutrients in ppm: 225 N, 7.74 P, 29.32 K, 175 Ca, 40 Mg, 56 S, 2.8 Fe, 0.7 B, 0.2 Cu, 0.8 Mn, 0.2 Zn, and 0.05 Mo. The formula supplied 0.25 mM P and 0.75 mM K. For the nutrient treatment solutions, P and K was increased by adding phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide. The fertilizer sources used for the preliminary growth experiment were calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2, ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), potassium hydroxide (KOH), magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) (MgSO4), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), iron chelate (FeEDTA), Boric Acid (H3BO3), copper sulphate (CuSO4), manganese sulphate (MnSO4), zinc sulphate (ZnSO4), and ammonium molibdate ((NH4)Mo7O24). For the plant growth and fruit quality experiments, the basic formula was composed of the following nutrients in ppm: 225 N, 7.74 P, 9.77 K, 175 Ca, 40 Mg, 56 S, 2.8 Fe, 0.7 B, 0.2 Cu, 0.8 Mn, 0.2 Zn, and 0.05 Mo.
