. Biocontainers vary in their material and overall strength ( Evans et al., 2010 ; Evans and Karcher, 2004 ), and they can be less resilient to the rigors of mechanization and transport ( Koeser et al., 2013a ). As such, overall production efficiency may decline

and fertilizer, enhance crop production efficiency, and maintain crop yield. The water is directly transferred into the plant growth substrate in ebb-and-flow systems, and this technique has been proven to reduce water input in comparison with overhead
limit the risk of disease and insect damage, leading to high yields. In closed system, to increase the plant growth rate is a commonly used strategy to maximize the production efficiency ( Higashi et al., 2015 ; Murase et al., 2015 ), and it is achieved
