Working Method of Aeroponics: Innovations in Soilless Agriculture

Abstract

The chapter “Working Method of Aeroponics: The article “Innovations in Soilless Agriculture” explains how aeroponic farming works, and the parts of an aeroponic system, with particular concentration on particular farming procedures. Aeroponics provides an organic technique to address contemporary horticulture's problems by delivering suspended plant roots in air with nutrient enriched mist. Its advantages include better nutrient uptake, good aeration and very reduced water and other resource use as compared to conventional soil-based farming. Each of them is elaborated on in the chapter and described its influence on the growth of plants in the given aeroponic system; these components include the growth chamber, the system of misting the leaves, nutrient supplying, and the environmental factors regulating the plant growth.
