Derived from the Greek words “hydro” (meaning water) and “ponos” (meaning labor), Hydroponics can be described as a technique whereby plants are grown in a soilless medium by employing various types of substrates and using nutrient-enriched water that harbor the plant’s roots. A number of definitions for Hydroponics have been provided, the common point among all of which is that hydroponics is concerned with growing plants without soil, using sources of nutrient elements as either a nutrient solution or nutrient-enriched water, wherein an inert mechanical root support, such as sand or gravel may or may not be used.
Based on the various ways in which this technique has been defined, the growing of plants using Hydroponics can further be classified into “liquid hydroponics,” wherein plants are grown without media, and “aggregate hydroponics,” which require a medium. Some major advantages of Hydroponics include capability of growing crops where no suitable soil exists or where the soil is contaminated with disease, minimization of labor, maximum yields, ability to grow & maintain crop-giving plants even in confined indoor spaces, conservation of land, practically no need for insecticides & herbicides and greater control in maintaining environment by ensuring timely nutrient feeding or irrigation, apart from managing light, temperature, humidity and composition of the air to replicate atmospheric conditions, among others.
