Testing few commercial vegetable crops in a vertical bag system whereby the adaptability, yield, and nutritional quality in terms of Zn and Fe

This study aimed to test a few commercial vegetable crops (carrots, cabbages and green beans) in a vertical bag system. The adaptability, yield and nutritional quality of Zn and Fe were determined. A randomised factorial design consisting of 8 vertical farming structures was constructed to have an east and west-facing side. The 3 crops were grown in two types of growth media (compost and soil) for two consecutive growing seasons. Randomly selected experimental units were treated with micronutrient fertilizer, whilst others received no treatment. The results obtained can be seen in the dataset presented.
