What is hydroelectric? What are the basics of farming without soil?
Hello all
We will discuss in this article
hydroponics
The basic principles that
Hydroponics is based on a different basis
The differences are there as well as some
Advantages
And the flaws will be all
Covered in this article
Before we start we want to
say thank you
We hope to inspire and educate all we have and if you
Want to see more farming
Hydroponics related videos
to remember
Do you like what you read in this article?
Then wait until the end for yourself
A copy of our ebook on the ins and outs of
hydroponics
With that in mind, let's start talking
hydroponics
Plants grown in water are not
Planted in conventional soil, on the contrary
Many other agricultural crops
Instead the roots are immersed in
Inorganic growth medium
Then the nutrient-rich water is used
plant roots
This is the basis for any hydroponics
Accommodation
You may think how a plant
Survive and even thrive without soil
To understand how hydroponics
Plants grow and mature they need it
Understand the purpose that soil serves
In supporting the life of a single plant from
The most important functions of the soil
Its ability to retain water and nutrients and supply it to the roots
from the plant
In hydroponics, this need is overcome
Putting the plant in an inorganic matter
average growing
Such as rock wool, vermiculite or rock perlite
expanded clay substrate
Instead it can be plants
Put it in a simple bowl without any
substrate or float on the water itself
Nutritional requirements of plants
Then met through normal applications
root zone nourishing solution
the plant
Beginners can easily get confused and
Overwhelmed with all the differences
hydroponics method
So let's take a look at the difference
Hydroponics apps that you can try
Outside
One of the nutrient film techniques in this
Accommodation
Plants are placed in an inclined hollow
tubes or ducts
The feed water is continuously pumped
Through the canals on the root
the system
There is no need for further growth
Medium like vermiculite or rockwell
nft is a closed system
Recycles water all over
channels by first pumping them to
The upper or upper ends of the channels
which then flows down the slope
2. This wick systems are one of
The simplest water settings
Perfect for beginners
Nutrient-rich water tank
It is placed under the plants
There is a fuse extending from
Average growth down to
tank
Water moves through the action of capillaries
From tank to growth
Medium and keeps the roots nourished and
moist
Little specialized equipment is needed
For this design it is very easy
DIY with some rope buckets and a digger
Three urban flow also known as flood
and exchange system
The plants included in the growing medium are
Placed on a full tank
nourishing water
The pump pumps water periodically
In the section containing plants
Then the pump is turned off and
The water gradually flows back in
tank
This is another simple method and
Apart from the pump and tubes a bit
Expert equipment is required for success
Four deep water culture here plants
Place in pots with growing media or
Lightweight lids float on
Surface of the water
Then the roots of the plant grow in
water pump oxygen powered on water
Keep the roots healthy but apart from
who - which
This does not require any other machining
Makes a deep water culture system
Great for beginners or DIY
5 drip systems projects
This technique uses drip lines
A pump that transfers water from
Primary reservoir in growth
The media that encapsulates the above plants
The drip device is usually customized for
Each plant allows a fine
Adjust nutrient concentrations and
irrigation intensity
Water can be recycled which saves
time and money
Or it can be withdrawn from the system
Which maintains optimum nutrients
concentrations in tank
6. Aeroponics here are hanging plants
In the air vertically or horizontally
Then the pump is pumped
Nutrient media for roots
Plants at specific time intervals or on
continuously
Depending on the needs of this plant
It is a more advanced system that requires
pumps
Nebulizers and timers are among other equipment
It should only be considered by an expert
Farmers to do the investment
Worthwhile
Regardless of the type of hydroponics system
you have to decide
You will always have to consider
Advantages and disadvantages in front of you
start production
Let's start with the positives
Hydroponic plant cultivation
First you can prepare hydroponics
Big or small operation
Almost anywhere because there is no soil
need
You can grow a large number of
Even the plants indoors
You can maximize your return because
The roots of aquatic plants are
keep compressed
This is possible because when they are
Supplied with the perfect amount of
water and nutrients
Roots do not need to grow in search of
More will also be free of
The limitations of poor soil conditions and
Environmental pollutants allow you
You grow almost any herb or leafy vegetable
Anywhere
Money saved on water and nutrients
Input is another feature offered on
hydroponics farmers
In traditional agriculture most
Water and nutrients are applied to
Plants are lost through the runoff
and evaporation
In hydroponics, this problem is overcome
By applying only the exact amount of
Water and nutrients that plants need
Savings are improved in
Hydroponic circulatory systems such as
The same water is pumped through the system
Repeatedly
Hydroponic systems also allow you to
Overcoming its limitations
change of season
Climate control systems allow
cultivators to adjust the temperature and
lighting to suit their needs
the plants
This could open up the possibility
Off-season crop production
This ensures that you get a premium
To harvest and reduce the need for it
Expensive and polluting internationally
Air Freight
Climate control means that too
Plants grow faster
Because you can change the environment
Conditions as needed plants can
always with the best
growth conditions
Soil deficiency will also eliminate any
Soil borne diseases or weed infestations
If this problem is solved then the money
Spend on the usual control methods will
not longer
Requires work and time spent
It will alleviate pest and weed problems
Also can be removed
These savings can be reinvested
In expanding production or it will do
Leads to improved profit margins
Moreover the plants will be less
susceptible to soil-borne pathogens and
You don't need to compete with weeds
water or nutrients
Finally you will be able to change crops
Or items easily and quickly if
Market demand fluctuates away from or
towards some products
So you will be able to keep up to date with consumer and meat trends
Demands when they appear
It is easy to see why hydroponics
A favorite among commercial growers and
amateurs like
But there are some obstacles that
Every farmer needs to consider before
Begin
While a small backyard setting might not be the same
Too expensive
Costs of starting a commercial
Hydroponics will be expensive
So you will need to make sure
That you have a solid business plan and
Emergency in an unexpected situation
People
This may be a barrier for small scale
Farmers who can not afford the initial
Invest or approve
Necessary loans
related to construction expenses
Hydroponics production
You will need experience and
Experience required for commercial advertising
Create success
You don't want to waste money on
Mistakes and accidents that can happen
It is easily prevented by using the correct
expertise
This is not a problem for amateurs
Like making mistakes and learning from them
It's all part of hydroponics
expertise
Finally, this is especially true for
Large electric powered systems
The danger posed by electricity and water
A power outage is a big thing
Because plant roots are not
anchored in the water
Prolonged soil without water or
Nutrient applications will be
Destructive and lead to large scale
Loss
So it is wise to invest in it
Generators and wells if you are a commercial farmer
In conclusion, there are many benefits
To grow your plants in water
If you are interested in starting a file
A small operation in the backyard and then done
Do not hesitate however, if you are looking to achieve great results or
Expand your production
More time and thought will be needed
Business strategy development
A budget and a contingency plan in front of you
Take that leap
Thanks to everyone who made it
