Hydroponics: A Soil-Free Farming System Transforming Modern Agriculture
Hydroponics is a modern method of growing plants without soil by using water enriched with essential nutrients. In this system, plant roots are supported by an inert medium or directly suspended in nutrient solutions. Hydroponics allows precise control over plant nutrition, water usage, and growing conditions, making it an efficient agricultural technique.
How Hydroponic Systems Work
In hydroponic farming, plants receive nutrients directly through water rather than soil. Common systems include nutrient film technique (NFT), deep water culture (DWC), drip systems, aeroponics, and ebb-and-flow setups. These systems continuously deliver oxygen, water, and nutrients to plant roots, promoting faster and more uniform growth.
Crops Commonly Grown Using Hydroponics
Hydroponics is especially suitable for:
Leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach, and kale
