Soilless Agriculture (Hydroponics/ Water/ Nutrient Culture)
Hydroponics is a soilless agriculture system that involves growing plants in a nutrient solution, which can be categorized into liquid and aggregate systems. The technique offers benefits such as overcoming poor soil conditions, achieving high yields, and ensuring the efficient use of resources, though it also comes with disadvantages like higher initial and operational costs. Various soilless culture methods include solution culture, aeroponics, and solid media culture, each with distinct growing techniques and advantages.
