This self-paced learning module explores the crucial role of plants within the Integrated Aqua-Vegeculture System (iAVs). You’ll discover that plants are not just the final product of the system but are vital components that drive nutrient cycling, water purification, and overall system balance. Through guided reading from the iAVs Handbook and an interactive quiz, you’ll learn about the various types of plants that thrive in an iAVs, including leafy greens, herbs, fruiting vegetables, and root crops.

This module will guide you through the specific nutrient requirements of different plant types, the process by which plants absorb nutrients from the sand biofilter, and strategies to optimize plant health and productivity. You’ll also explore the importance of plant selection, spacing, and timing to maximize system efficiency and output.

By completing this module, you’ll gain a clear understanding of how to effectively manage plants in an iAVs to create a thriving, sustainable, and highly productive ecosystem.
