Abstract:
To enable the growth and production of plants outside the natural soil, an artificial and controlled environment is constructed in which the root grows. Depending on the technology and materials used for this purpose, hydroponics can be classified into various systems and methods. On a commercial scale, around the world, many methods are used, which can be classified into categories, such as cultivation in a shallow flowing nutrient solution, cultivation in nutrient solution reservoirs, cultivation in sprayed nutrient solution (aeroponics), cultivation in inert materials and cultivation in organic substrates.
