Hydroponics: An Overview Of Advanced Growing Approaches

Abstract

Many man-made factors, like industrialization and urbanisation, have made soil-based farming more challenging. Soil fertility and quality are also diminished by unchecked chemical usage in agriculture, climate change, and abrupt events in nature. Because of this need, researchers have come up with a new method of growing plants: hydroponics, which does not use soil. Growing plants in a nutrient-rich water solution is called hydroponics. Hydroponics allows for the cultivation of a wide variety of plants and crops. In comparison to conventional farming methods that rely on soil, hydroponic farming often results in superior harvests in terms of quality, flavour, and nutritional content. Worldwide, in both developed and developing nations, this cultivation is becoming more popular because to its low cost, lack of diseases, and environmental friendliness. In areas where suitable cultivable land is in short supply, it has the potential to supplement high-altitude research and alleviate the shortage of arable land. To fulfil the future nutrition requirement on a worldwide scale and cultivate a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and feed, hydroponics is the way to go. Hydroponics is a new technology that has the potential to feed the world's population in the future.
