Abstract

Hydroponics has formally been known in Thailand since 1988. Nowadays, it is commercially established in many areas in Thailand for high quality vegetable production. Among these, nutrient film technique (NFT) is one of the most commercial systems for lettuce production. The important diseases of lettuces grown in commercial NFT were reported in this article.
