Aeroponics and Hydroponics – A Basic Introduction Aeroponics Aeroponics, which is the administration of water and critical plant nutrients via an aerosol mist soaking the plant roots, was regarded to be a viable hydroponic approach for the future (Nichols 2002). Aeration is one of the major benefits of this procedure over pouring the nutrient solution […]

Introduction Plants are grown in a nutrient solution without the use of a rooting medium in true hydroponics. Plant roots are either suspended in a standing aerated nutrient solution or in a nutrient solution flowing via a root channel (Nutrient Film Technique [NFT]), or they are sprayed with a nutrient solution on a regular basis […]

The nutrient solution for Hydroponics –A basic introduction Introduction The formulation and use of nutrient solutions is probably the most misunderstood component of hydroponic cultivation. The majority of texts merely provide a list of nutritional solution formulas, preferred reagent sources, and the weights and measures required to create an aliquot of solution. Although such knowledge […]

A brief introduction to Hydroponics Hydroponics is a method of growing plants in nutrient solutions with or without the use of an inert medium to provide mechanical support, such as dirt, vermiculite, Rockwool, peat moss, sawdust, coir dust, coconut fiber/Wood fiber, and other similar materials. The term Hydroponics comes from the Greek terms hydros, which […]
