Hydroponics: A Sneak Peek into what it is


              Hydroponics is a practice where plants are grown in liquid nutrient solutions that comprise of sulphur, potassium, nitrogen and magnesium than in the regular soil.  This practice is found to be highly beneficial in places where there is a dearth of soil or is unsuitable to grow plants.  Plants that are needed for research purposes can also be grown through this procedure.  The substrates (an alternative used for soil) that are used to hold the plant may be varied like sawdust, pebbles, perlite, rockwool, or wood chips all of which have great water holding capacity.
              Hydroponics is touted as one of the emerging areas of horticulture and the demand is felt not only in the regular hobby gardeners sector but also in the commercial sectors where cut flowers are grown.  Such gardens are found to be completely devoid of diseases and pests and also are free of undue and excess levels of toxins.  The water levels and the oxygen levels could be maintained at ideal levels so as to facilitate better growth of the plants.  In this kind of plant growing practices, you will definitely not come across the problems caused by weeds.  So, if you want to enjoy the good things that hydroponics brings along with it, you need to run the system and maintain it in an immaculate way.  Then all the advantages of such growing will also remain intact.  Proper attention is the sole key to ensure success of this system.
            Hydroponics technology conservers water and land and therefore is considered as being highly environment protective.  But, at the same time it is a capital intensive technology.  There are various types of hydroponic systems or the controlled environments in which plants can be grown and each type has its own importance and relevance in terms of structural design, growing system and environmental control.  So, if you are considering this system, you need to find out if it is cost-effective for your location and also give it your best attention possible.
