I. What is hydroponics

      Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without the use of soil. It is also known as “Soil-less culture”. The term hydroponics comes from the Greek for growing plants in water, hydros means water and Ponos means work.

     In traditional agriculture where plants are grown in soil, nutrients and water exist randomly, and often plants need to expend a great deal of energy to grow long roots to search for water and nutrients. By expending this energy, plants do not grow as fast as they could. However, because the nutrients are all around the roots in a hydroponic system, a plant doesn’t have to expand any energy growing long roots in search of it. This enables plants to grow much faster. In addition, growing plants in hydroponics requires less water, less space, and pests and diseases are more easily controlled and prevented.

II. The advantage of hydroponics

1. Save the land. We can plant any where , even the roof top.

2. Save the water 85 %.

3. Save the labor.

4. Save the fertilizer 80 % .

5. Save the pesticide, friendly of the environment .

6. High production.

7.Product harmony. Little waste.

8. High quality and more safety.

9. All the growing conditions can be controlled.                                                                   

III. Why invest in hydroponics

     Few things provide such a solid and secure investment as food. All people need to eat, and with a burgeoning global population, food shortages, and rising prices, all investments in the food industry are going to do well. Investing in hydroponics is a way of maximizing any investment in food.Hydroponic systems do not suffer the same vulnerabilities that investing in field crops do, such as bad weather, disease and land shortage there is less risk compared to regular agricultural produce.

     As hydroponic crops are grown in controlled, automated environments, weather systems and unforeseen climatic conditions do not affect the growth rate, while pests and other problems are much easier to prevent. In addition, for the same land mass, hydroponic yields are 1000% greater than traditional agriculture. And the yields are stable, with the same amount of produce being produced year-on-year. As such,  offering unrivaled returns compared to other aspects of the food industry.

IV.Main components for hydroponics

1.modern greenhouse and facilities equipment

2.Water Circulation and fertigation  In Hydroponics

• The fertilizer needed is mixed in three tank and called ABC. They are mixed in the tank proportionally as per the age and needs of the plants.
• PH and EC measuring tools are necessary to maintain the PH level.

VI. Different types of hydroponics

1. Flat bed Hydroponics (depends on water only)-NFT

• Flat beds for each span
• Foam at the bottom, and use the film to hold the water.
• Have another foam on the top as the cover, and there are many small holes on the foam to put the crops/plant.

2. A shape Vertical Hydroponics (depends on water only)-NFT

• The production of vertical hydroponics can be higher than flat bed hydroponics.
• Use A shape vertical beds.
• Use PVC gutter as the growth channel

3. Hydroponics in subtrate

• Growing in artificial soil is an easy way to grow plants easily and effectively
• Use Substrate beds to support the substrate bags                                                                        
• PVC gutter put on the beds as the channel,
• Use the rock wool coco fiber bag as the substrate
