Technologies of the future in greenhouse vegetable production: multicircle hydroponics on narrow banches

Technologies of the future in the greenhouse vegetable production are multi circle hydroponics (MCH). Vertical multi circle hydroponics gives an opportunity to use vertical area of greenhouse and to save energy and water resources. Vegetable production on multi circle hydroponic will be ecologically friendly. PlantLab and Philips firms (Netherlands) grow salads, grasses and strawberry at the experimental hydroponic constructions on 234 m2. Mirai-company (Japan) builds agro-center with hydroponic complexes at the industrial part of Khabarovsk. But main vegetables of greenhouses- tomato, cucumber and sweet pepper can’t be produced at these hydroponic complexes because the lack of special varieties. New program named "The obtaining new vegetable varieties, adopted for multi circle hydroponics" has been developed at All-Russian Research institute for Vegetable breeding and Seed Production in 2010. Multi circle hydroponics with the automatic irrigation unit (Russian firm "FITO") is exploited. We developed new scheme of breeding process for obtaining new forms of vegetable plants which have been adopted to MCH-conditions. Main time in this breeding scheme is occupied by the pre-breeding: creation of the virtual model of variety/hybrid, using modern techniques of the collections evaluation (molecular analysis), of application of new methods of breeding (gamete selection), on the basis of the heritability analysis of main value traits, and the target breeding schemes. Two tomato varieties Natasha and Timosha for MCH have been obtained by using this breeding scheme (patents).
