Food is very necessary for living. But, in today's fast life everyone tries to find shortcut ways for fulfilling their needs and requirements. Food production is a business. Nowadays, pesticides and other chemical are used to grow vegetables and fruits. A large quantity of food and vegetables needs to be grown quickly to feed the growing population.
These pesticides and other
chemicals are very harmful to the environment and body. This is known for producing dangerous diseases. To prevent environment and yourself from all of the toxic materials, the idea of homegrown food and vegetables is considered very well.
You can grow good and healthy
food at your home with the help of Hydroponic shop. Yes,
hydroponics is the nature and hydroculture process of growing food without soil
by instead using natural nutrient and minerals. There are a lot of
civilizations that use different hydroponic systems and techniques for growing
food. These systems make use of less water and space to grow the plants.
Here are several
types of hydroponic system
Six basic methods are used for
soilless gardening. Every method has a different function but in all of the
systems, the plants receive their nutrients in the form of water.
System# 1 Wicking
This is one of the easiest
hydroponic systems. Wicking system is passive, there is no need for pumping. A
wick stands for the piece of rope. This brings water and nutrients to the root
of the plant. This system only grows a small number of plants.
System# 2 Drip growing
Drip growing hydroponics system
is the most common form of hydroponics. This is often used for commercial
gardening. It recirculating or recycling the excess amount of nutrient from the
reservoir and use timer pump. This pump drips the nutrient solution with the
help of a small drip line to the base of plants.
System# 3 Deepwater
culture and Aquaponic system
It is an ecological and
sustainable process of healthy food production without using soil. This process
is the combination of aquacultures like snails, fish, crayfish, and
prawns.
It is a system in which the
waste produced by fish, snails and other animals supplies bio nutrient to plants.
Plants are grown with purifying the water for the fishes in which the roots are
directly suspended to the nutrient water. Moreover, it also creates a perfect
environment for the growth and development of fish.
System# 4 Ebb and Flow/
Flow and Drain system
In this process, the plant roots
are systematically grown in a few days with the help of the nutrient solution.
Flow and drain hydroponic system have drain gravity. Moreover, it is used to
drain the solution and pump supply the oxygen. This system uses a variety of
growing material such as rocks, gravel, Rockwool, etc.
System# 5 Nutrient Film
Technique
In Nutrient film technique,
plants are grown in channels with a nutrient solution. The roots of plants are
not completely submerged in the water. In this process, the nutrient-filled
water pumped into the trough at the upper end of the plant. The water
continuously flows down to the other root systems and back into the water
tank.
System# 6 Aeroponics
system
The Aeroponics system is also
used to grow the fresh veggies and fruits on your table. In this system, the
roots are not suspended in water instead of hanging in the air. These plants
get nutrient water through the enclosed space and spared as a mist.
