Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, where roots receive nutrients from a water-based solution. This allows for controlled environments, leading to faster growth and higher yields.
Benefits of Hydroponics
- Water Efficiency: Uses up to 90% less water compared to traditional farming.
- Faster Growth: Direct nutrient delivery accelerates plant development.
- Year-Round Cultivation: Enables growing plants regardless of season.
- Reduced Pests: Soil absence minimizes disease and pest risks.
Hydroponics is suitable for both home gardening and commercial agriculture.
