Hoagland solution

The Hoagland solution is a hydroponic nutrient solution that was newly developed by Hoagland and Snyder in 1933,[1] modified by Hoagland and Arnon in 1938,[2] and revised by Arnon in 1950.[3] It is one of the most popular standard solution compositions for growing plants, in the scientific world at least, with more than 20,000 citations listed by Google Scholar.[4] The Hoagland solution provides all essential elements for plant nutrition and is appropriate for supporting normal growth of a large variety of plant species.[5]
