Aeroponics is an exciting plant production technique growing in popularity. However, it does have some less than favorable elements. Find out why clogging is such in aeroponics, how it impacts labor, and how to find more information in this presentation.

1. Why is it an issue?
Clogging in Aeroponics

2. Aeroponic systems require a sprayer or
a mister in order to deliver the nutrient
solution.

3. Most of these are diaphragm-based,
or have a very, very small nozzle.

4. Ultimately, this means things
clog up very easily.

5. When they clog up, the
plants don’t get the water
and nutrients they need.

6. Without water, the roots can dry
up and die very quickly.

7. Any aeroponic grower will tell you lots
of time is spent cleaning nozzles
because of this.

8. Labor can be spent in 1 of 3 ways

9. 1 - Cleaning nozzles

10. 2 - Replacing Nozzles

11. 3 - Intensive filtration

12. In any case, clogging is a
problem to be aware of and
manage properly.
