Abstract:
The requirement for better yielding with inexpensive capitals will become progressively significant in the agronomic ecosystem. Many researches have been validated the water management hydroponic system if appropriate organization is conserved, thus preservation and checking of water characteristic factors are critical for effective plants development. There are many in-house experiments on sprouting peas but the published articles are very limited. As the result of their palatability and nutritional properties, the interest in pea sprouts as a super food is growing rapidly. The potential microbiological risks however, are challenging producers in finding innovative ways to ensure the safety of the product without compromising the quality. One of the ways to achieve this is to employ water rich in minerals for sprout production process. The aim of this work was to evaluate the growth and its characteristics and yield of peas plant. Pea seeds were chosen to soak and sprout in various types of water in laboratory environment for 7 days. The results established that, seeds irrigated with mineral rich water was longer, healthier and produces more yield compared to the seeds with other waters. It proves irrigating water is essential for growth of plants with complete minerals and exclusive of organisms.
