Actiwave treated Rocket grown in a hydroponic system with 3 different nutrient dosages had significant more root dry weight in all cases, but had only a significant higher yield in the 10 % situation, significant less nitrate in the 25 % situation, a significant bigger leaf area and significant more chlorophyll in the 10 % situation and significant more carotenoids in the 10 and 100 % cases compared to the untreated control. Actiwave had most effect on Rocket grown in the lowest nutrient dosage.
