subject: Hydroponics - Healthy Crop Growing Method [print this page] Hydroponics method is for growing terristrial plants which cannot be otherwise grown in soil. A plant can survive in water and soil, plant can be grown in the soil but without water it is not possible to grow plants as water is an oxygen giving source to the plants without which plants cannot survive. plants always needs proper nutrients for its growth, these nutrients are provided by the water to the plants. It can be said as the same thing which is found in a normal human being too, that is an human being also cannot survive without the water, though he can live without food for many days but cannot live without water for more than two days. As there is no inert medium found in this hydroponics technique so it is called as a solution medium.
Hydroponics technique has also become the teaching source in world wide. Its knowledge is considered to be must so it is an educational matter considered in todays world now. Many containers regarding the plants growth are produced annually by our government and is used by our farmers or gardeners too. Hydroponics technique is a good method as it is less economical and water can be reused again and again. That is in this method water recycles itself, so there is no chance that a lot of water is wasted. To grow hydroponics is not an easy method, it needs a lot of knowledge, care and a proper amount of water. It is preferred over all the other conventional methods of irrigation. to grow plants with the help of soil increase the chances of more damaging of plants because excessive use of soil or less use of soil can easily harm the plant and the plant can die, so there is a limit to use soil in it, but water supports the plants very well because there is no matter that it is used in less quantity or more quantity it gives proper oxygen and nutrients to the plants.
Nutrients that are used in plants are also called ionic solutions, and plants can survive in these ionic solutions for long time, also hydroponics solutions are made of different chemicals. Green house effect for hydroponics is the best used technique these days, because under this technique plant can be grown under fully controlled situations with proper environment that is needed for its growth. Greenhouse effect reduces the pest disease problems in plants so it is a better way to develop hydroponics techniques in water
