This study provided useful information on the fertility of soil in space. Earth does not have as much soil on the Moon, so research has not been easy.
In the past, crops were planted and grown on an artificial lunar-like soil cover taken from the Arizona desert. In 2019, China's Chane-4 probe planted sprouts in a small biosphere region on the Moon's surface.
The soil for the study was brought as part of the Apollo 11, 12 and 17 missions. And NASA delivered only 12 grams of precious material.
First, one gram of lunar soil was placed in a small pot and saturated with the necessary fertilizers. And rezuhovidki waist plant was planted in it. In parallel, these seeds were planted on the soil of the artificial Moon and Mars. Interestingly, plants also grew in all of them. This indicates that the soil cover of the Moon has good absorption of fertilizer.
It hasn't all been smooth sailing, of course. Due to the high content of salt, metal, and oxygen in the lunar soil, it grew slowly and was prone to stress, according to the website techcult.ru.
