Cultivate In the house With Aeroponics System
No soil is used in this process. The word hydroponic is derived from Greek words hydro, meaning
water, and ponos, meaning labor. In using the hydroponic system, the nutrients dissolved in water
are provided to the plants directly through their roots.
aeroponics is the method of growing plants in air, is a moist environment. Like Hydroponics, there
is no use of soil in the aeroponics system. Plants are cultivated through being suspended in the
air, and nutrients are sprayed at the plant roots with a nutrient rich water solution. The term
aeroponic is derived from Greek words aero, meaning air, and ponos, meaning labor. This is done
is such a way, that mist is created in the air, and since there is no wind to move the mist away, the
plants grow faster.
The major difference between hydroponics and aeroponics is the method of soil-less plant
cultivation. Neither of these method requires soil for plant growth - nutrients are supplied through a
nutrient solution or film at which the formulation is sufficiently adjusted to meet the requirements
for adequate plant growth.
Many people are confused about agriculture and the difference between hydroponics and
aeroponics. Aeroponics in reality, a kind of the hydroponics method of plant cultivation. It is the
water that is the nutrient carrier, when the nutrient solution is sprayed into the roots of the plants.
Another major difference between Hydroponics and Aeroponics is the environment in which the
plants are grown. When using the hydroponics method, the plants are cultivated in an enclosed
environment like a green house. Plants grown through the aeroponics method, however, are set in
a closed or semi-closed area. Since the environment in which the aeroponics is used is not too
restricted, and the plants grown may become vulnerable to risks posed by pests and diseases.
In considering the difference between hydroponics and aeroponics, it should be noted that plants
grow faster with air, given that there is an abundance of oxygen in combination with the nutrient
solution and water.
Farmers prefer using aeroponics rather than hydroponics for plant cultivation, mainly for the
reason that aeroponics provide a consistent supply of oxygen. This naturally results in a much
higher yield of production then would be the case with hydroponics.
Hydroponics and Aeroponics are also different in the way they are set up for plant growth. With
aeroponics, the method makes it possible for the roots of the plants to be suspended in a hydro-
atomized nutrient solution. This results in some parts of the plant roots to extend on the top.
Additionally, the aeroponics method uses different technologies that can range from a static to a
continuous flow solution. Some caution is also adopted to prevent disease contamination in the
irrigation system.
In spite of the many differences between hydroponics and aeroponics, both these methods have,
without a doubt, proven to have had an improved impact on plant and food production.
Now we all know that hydroponics means that the plants are grown without soil, but that they need
some kind of growing medium. Aeroponics does away with the need for a growth medium, as the
roots are literally suspended in the air. They get their nutrients as well as the water needed for the
plant through a mist that keeps them alive and well.
