2. Syracuse Hydroponics means gardening or a
method of gardening. In this method plants
don’t need soil for growing. It’s a whole new
process of gardening or we can say
agricultural miracle.
3. In this method the plants which is planted
and cultivated without soil is called Syracuse
hydroponics. In research it is seen that the
plant needs many kind of mineral elements
from soil and if the plant can get those
elements from water then it does not need
any soil.

4. By this process the plant can grow naturally
without soil.
5. This cultivation method was first discussed in
1627 by Francis Bacon in his book Sylva
sylvarum and after that in 1699 it became a
popular method for planting trees.
6. In 1950 scientist also took interest in this soil
less gardening process. Many countries like
Netherland, Germany and Australia also used
this method on their agricultural product and
got very good results. The trees which is not
a typical type of tress and does not grow in a
normal traditional environment and need to
cultivate in a special environmentcan be
grown in hydroponics process.
8. There are two main types of this process, one
is solution culture and other is medium
culture. In solution culture solid element is
not necessary for roots it just need nutrients
for growing. Solution culture is mainly in
three types: static solution culture,
continuous flow solution culture and lastly
aeroponics. In static solution the plant can
grow in a jar, tank, tub with nutrient solution.
9. . In continuous flow solution, a method which
is popularly used called nutrient film
technique or NFT where nutrients mixed
water is poured to the tree and a large
amount of oxygen is supplied to the tree.
10. Aeroponics method is commercially popular
where the planting environment can be
controlled very easily.
11. The only problem of this method is that only
some kind of tree can be grown in this
process. Now the medium culture method is
some process where plants needs solid
elements to grow.
12. Medium culture is mainly in two types: sand
culture and Rockwool culture. Rockwool
culture is very popular in medium culture
method. In this method plastic is mainly used
as containers but concrete, wood, metal is
also used for growing plants.
13. Syracuse hydroponics method has been
proved as a beneficial methodfor gardening
than soil gardening. The growth is 30-50
percentage more than soil gardening and it is
also proved that it does not need to find
nutrients because those nutrients is delivered
many times per day on a regular basis. It is
also free from insects and other kind of
diseases.
15. And that’s why those trees produce more
fruits than soil base tress and it can be said
that these trees are healthier and useful than
soil gardening.Nowadays it becomes more
and more popular in business, science etc.
government is also taking interest on this
new gardening method as it is more useful to
agriculture.
