Valerianella locusta (L.) Laterr.

An intensive method for growing corn salad in protected environments using organic substrates or hydroponics to control cleanliness and plant metabolism.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Corn salad, where this is mentioned in the description.

Container technology for corn salad allows for cleaner leaves, reducing the costs of washing produce for the ready-to-eat salad segment. The method provides precise control over nutrition, including the optimization of nitrogen form ratios to lower nitrate levels.

Under protected growing conditions, a planting density of 7 seeds per 5 cm diameter pot has been standardized. The application of silicon additives to the nutrient solution effectively increases yield, delays post-harvest chlorophyll degradation, and compensates for changes in tissue hydration characteristic of hydroponic systems.
