what is a benifit of hydroponics

Question

anonymous · Answer

Since hydroponics is the growth of plants in water inside and without soil, we can grow certain plants year round by using this method. We can also get rid of the negative animals that harm our plants and not help them. There is also no need for pesticides because we can control the animals which are around our plants. Pesticides that leak into rivers and ponds produce greenhouse gases that contribute to the theory of global warming. By using hydroponics, we can overall stop the theory of global warming.

WelcomE to OpeN StudY !! SweeT FrienD !! @zaria12345 Advantages of Hydroponics Soil is not required for hydroponics No need for huge farming land as it allows the crops to be produced in greenhouses, even in the desert sands. It is a stable technology for growth of plants and ensures high yields The desired nutrient environment can be easily provided for plant growth Water stays in the system thus labor for watering of plants can be avoided Lower water costs as water is reused in these systems Less water is lost through evaporation and runoff Acid-base balance can be easily maintained. No mulching, tilling, changing of soil and weeding No scope of pesticide damage Proper aeration of nutrient solution is possible. Nutrition pollution is not released into the environment Easier to get rid of pests and diseases Easy to harvest Disadvantages of Hydroponics Limited production in comparison to field conditions Initial setup cost is high, as the necessary equipments are expensive Technical skill is required to maintain the equipments Hydroponic gardens are influenced by power cut If a disease appears all plants in the container will be affected. Water borne diseases can quickly spread right through the hydroponic gardens If the hydroponic system fails it can leads to rapid plant death without soil as a buffer Image Reference: http://www.duncraigshs.wa.edu.au/brwa/images/article_photos/hydroponics.jpg HopE if U aRe SatisfieD with ThiS AnsweR, PleAsE ClosE ThiS QuestioN !!
