Hydroponics is the study of soilless plants. You might have heard of soil-less society, which is another term often used to explain the same thing when you haven't heard about the hydroponics. The same natural elements are used to grow plants in soils, so that weeds, soil-borne pests, and diseases do not harm the plants.
Once a plant has been developed, its production is higher than average, whether it is grown in a greenhouse, a garden or a balcony. Hydroponics also helps you to become more plants per square meter. Since plants don't have to compete with weeds and each other for the food and water in the soil, they are supplied with food and water directly. Moreover, although many myths, plants are grown in hydroponics are not different from plants growing in the soil, their physiology is similar. Plants cultivated in a hydroponic system take the same nutrients as those produced in the land, but the quality can be regulated more precisely. The fundamental difference between the two approaches is how plants are supplied with nutrients and water.
Nutrient salts are already processed in hydroponics, and plants do not have to wait before nutrients fall into the necessary form. For soil agriculture, however, plants are fed nutrients by means of manure and compost, which must be broken down into their basic shape (nutrient salts) before they can be used by plants.
Hydroponics is now starting to play a more significant role in agricultural production around the world. Hydroponic gardening has been widely used since the 1970s, but it has become more accessible for the household grower only recently. Demand for environmentally friendly and safer goods in society has been an essential factor in this development.
