Abstract:
As the world’s population increases and as the urbanization of the population progresses, so will the demand for fresh vegetables and fruits, necessary to meet the nutritional needs of every human being. The technology of hydroponics concerns the cultivation of horticultural plants without the use of natural soil. The plants are cultivated either in a pure water solution with inorganic salts (fertilizers) or mainly on inert, porous substrates to which the nutrient solution is added. Hydroponics began after the 18th century as a tool for academic research in plant nutrition and much later (20th century) evolved into a production method.
