HYDROPHONIC FARMING
" HYDROPONIC AND AEROPHONIC FARMING" Introduction Imagine walking into a garden where plants thrive without a speck of soil in sight. This isn’t a scene from a futuristic movie; it’s the reality of hydroponics and aeroponics. These innovative two techniques implies- Hydroponics- A method of growing plants in nutrient-rich medium instead of soil. Aeroponics- Technique in which roots hang suspended in the air while nutrient solution is delivered to them using a fog mist. Hydroponics and aeroponics are the latest soilless crop production techniques that have been developed and have gained a rapid pace in agricultural sectors, especially in the fields of urban and indoor farming. Since these systems utilize a sound knowledge of plant biology, they enable crops to be cultivated directly through the delivery of the root necessary nutrients, water, and oxygen without u...
