    HYDROPONICS
    DEFINATION:
    Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants
    using a water-based nutrient solution rather than soil.
    Hydroponics is originated from latin word meaning
    working water.

    BASIC PRINCIPLE:
    It is a kind of hydroculture and is a technique of growing plants using
    solutions rich in mineral nutrients without soil. Terrestrial flora could be grown
    with their roots in the mineral solution only, or in an inert medium like gravel or
    perlite. The nutrients in hydroponics could be obtained from duck manure, fish
    waste and from normal nutrients. As we all know plants need soil for their
    nutrients. Hydroponics system follows the same principle as all necessary nutrients
    are supplied well in advanced.

    GROWING MEDIUM :

    The substance in which the roots of the plant are emerging is known as a
    growing medium which comprises of a gigantic variety of materials including
    sand, gravel, perlite, coconut fibre, rock wool, vermiculite and much more. The
    plants derive required nourishment from the nutrient solution (fertilizer and water
    collectively). One could thus, easily control the growing environment of the plants.
    The pH and strength of the nutrient mix are simple to regulate so that the plants
    obtain just the exact quantity of food.
    ADVANTAGES OF HYDROPONICS METHODS:

     Conservation of water and nutrients.

     No more use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals.

     It can be grown anywhere as it requires very less space for growing and
    involves a soil-free condition.

     It minimizes the loss of nutrients and has a lot more accurate control over
    the nutrients required by the plants.

     Plant growth is completely dependent on the nutrient solution provided.


    Thus, there is controlled plant growth.

    DISADVANTAGES OF HYDROPONICS METHOD:

     It is a supplement to traditional growing methods which requires high


    technical knowledge and training before starting the process.

     It is a time-consuming process

    CONCLUSION

    Hydroponics presents a sustainable solution for food production, especially


    in urban areas and regions with limited arable land. Its growing popularity reflects
    the need for innovative agricultural practices in response to global challenges .
