• Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants without using soil.
Hydroponic flowers, herbs, and vegetables are planted in inert
growing media and supplied with nutrient-rich solutions, oxygen, and
water. This system fosters rapid growth, stronger yields, and superior
quality. When a plant is grown in soil, its roots are perpetually
searching for the necessary nutrition to support the plant. If a plant’s
root system is exposed directly to water and nutrition, the plant does
not have to exert any energy in sustaining itself. The energy the roots
would have expended acquiring food and water can be redirected into
the plant’s maturation. As a result, leaf growth flourishes as does the
blooming of fruits and flowers.
• The word hydroponics was coined by Professor William Gericke in
the early 1930s; describe the growing of plants with their
roots suspended in water containing mineral nutrients. The
nutrients used in hydroponic systems can come from many
different sources, including fish excrement, duck manure,
purchased chemical fertilizers, or artificial nutrient
solutions.
• Plants commonly grown hydroponically in a greenhouse, on inert
media, include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries,
lettuces, and cannabis, usually for commercial use, and
Arabidopsis thaliana, which serves as a model organism in plant
science and genetics. Hydroponics offers many advantages,
notably a decrease in water usage in agriculture. Since
hydroponics takes much less water to grow produce, it could be
possible in the future for people in harsh environments with
little accessible water to grow their own food.
• The earliest published work on growing terrestrial
plants without soil was the 1627 book Sylva Sylvarum
or 'A Natural History' by Francis Bacon, printed a
year after his death. As a result of his work, water
culture became a popular research technique. In 1699,
John Woodward published his water culture experiments
with spearmint. He found that plants in less-pure
water sources grew better than plants in distilled
water. By 1842, a list of nine elements believed to be
essential for plant growth had been compiled, and the
discoveries of German botanists Julius von Sachs and
Wilhelm Knop, in the years 1859–1875, resulted in a
development of the technique of soilless cultivation.
