7. Translate from Russian into English:
1) Минимально обработанные или свежие листовые овощи, такие как салат (Lactuca sativa L.), приобретают все большее значение на мировом овощном рынке.
2) Листовой салат традиционно культивировался в почве, но в последнее время были рассмотрены методы беспочвенного возделывания (гидропоника).
3) Несколько недавних исследований были посвящены воздействию минерального состава питательного раствора (NS) на выход салата и его качеству в системах беспочвенного возделывания.
4) Управление ирригацией напрямую влияет на производительность урожая, а эффективная практика ирригации может привести к качественным и количественным улучшениям в производстве овощной продукции.
5) Парниковое производство листовых овощей с использованием специальной технологии, позволяет выращивать растения без почвы на водных растворах минеральных веществ, точно контролировать питание растений, обеспечивать более эффективное использование воды и питательных веществ, а также более высокую санитарную норму.
