Detailed explanation-1: -The electrical conductivity (EC) is an index of salt concentration and an indicator of electrolyte concentration of the solution. EC of the nutrient solution is related to the amount of ions available to plants in the root zone [6]. The optimal EC is crop specific, and depends on environmental conditions [7, 8].

Detailed explanation-2: -Electrical conductivity (EC) is a measurement of water’s ability to conduct electricity. EC is related to water temperature and the total concentration, mobility, valence and relative concentration of ions. Generally speaking, higher EC means more electrolytes in the water.

Detailed explanation-3: -EC stands for electrical conductivity, and it’s the measurement of the amount of dissolved minerals in your nutrient solution. EC is measured in millisiemens per centimeter (mS/cm). In short, EC tells you how much fertilizer is available to plants at any given time.

Detailed explanation-4: -EC stands for electrical conductivity, which measures the potential for a material to conduct electricity.
