The growth of radish (Raphanus sativus var. radicula) was not influenced by the color of container (red, yellow, blue, black, transparent) in aeroponics. The treatment of different light source (red, yellow, blue, incandescent) on the root had no effects on the growth and several quality components of radish and lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. crispa). Growth of radish were greatest in NFT (nutrient film technique), followed by water culture, sack culture, and sand culture, but the thiocyanate ion content of root showed an opposite effects. Nitrate ion content in radish root was not effected with the different types of hydroponics. The external appearance of radish was better with sack culture, and sand culture than NFT, and water culture. The growth and external appearance of lettuce were best in NFT, followed by water culture, and sand culture. The nitrate ion content of lettuce grown in sand was higher than other culture.
