What is Hydroponics?

Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil.
Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel, mineral wool, expanded clay or coconut husk.
Researchers discovered in the 18th century that plants absorb essential mineral nutrients as inorganic ions in water.
In natural conditions, soil acts as a mineral nutrient reservoir but the soil itself is not essential to plant growth. When the mineral nutrients in the soil dissolve in water, plant roots are able to absorb them.
When the required mineral nutrients are introduced into a plant’s water supply artificially, soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive.
Almost any terrestrial plant will grow with hydroponics.
Hydroponics is also a standard technique in biology research and teaching.

Here are a Few examples of hydroponics Systems:
NFT (Nutrient Film Technique)
DWC (Deep Water Culture)
Dripper irragation systems
Flood and Drain (Ebb & Flow)

Advantages of Hydroponics

No soil is needed for hydroponics.
The water stays in the system and can be reused – thus, lower water costs.
It is possible to control the nutrition levels in their entirety – thus, lower nutrition costs.
No nutrition pollution is released into the environment because of the controlled system.
Stable and high yields.
Pests and diseases are easier to get rid of than in soil because of the container’s mobility.
It is easier to harvest.

Disadvantages of Hydroponics

Without soil as a buffer, any failure to the hydroponic system leads to rapid plant death.
Other disadvantages include pathogen attacks such as damp-off due to Verticillium wilt caused by the high moisture levels
associated with hydroponics and over watering of soil based plants.
Also, many hydroponic plants require different fertilizers and containment systems.
