What is it about?
• This research paper is about the potential application of plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PH) as a nutrient supplement for hydroponic plants. • The study was conducted to assess how PH affects lettuce yield and nutrition content when supplemented into hydroponic grow medium solution. • Results showed that increases in three phytochemical contents were observed, with higher concentrations leading to better yields and nutritional values in harvested lettuces.

Why is it important?
• This research paper looks at the potential of using plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PH) as a nutrient supplement for hydroponic plants. • The study tested how PH affects lettuce yield and nutrition content when added to hydroponic grow medium solution, with results showing that higher concentrations lead to better yields and nutritional values in harvested lettuces. • Therefore, this could be an important step towards more efficient agricultural production in terms of both yield and nutrition content.
