Closed-loop soilless culture: drawbacks.
� Nutrient imbalance
� Rapid dispersal of root-borne pathogens
� Accumulation of organic compounds
(microbial metabolites, root exudates)
� Salinity build-up (accumulation of ballast ions)

Conclusions
�Closing irrigation loop is feasible.
�Monitoring nutrient solution is necessary.
� Fertigation strategy may be adapted to growing conditions.
�Quick tests are suitable for NS monitoring.
� Simulation models are useful (off-line) management tool (off-line management)
