2. Hydroponics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroponics

   Hydroponics offers many advantages, notably a decrease in water usage in agriculture. To grow 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of tomatoes using intensive farming methods requires 214 liters (47 imp gal; 57 U.S. gal) of water; [9] using hydroponics, 70 liters (15 imp gal; 18 U.S. gal); and; only 20 liters (4.4 imp gal; 5.3 U.S. gal) using aeroponics.

3. Nutrient film technique - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient_film_technique

   Plants placed into nutrient-rich water channels in an NFT system A home-built NFT hydroponic system. Nutrient film technique (NFT) is a hydroponic technique where in a very shallow stream of water containing all the dissolved nutrients required for plant growth is re-circulated past the bare roots of plants in a watertight gully, also known as channels.

4. Hydroponic dosers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroponic_dosers

   When growing in hydroponics, the pH of the nutrient solution often drifts off target during use. The same is said for the amount of nutrients in the solution. These devices will automatically measure and adjust the solution as needed. By keeping TDS and pH levels in-range, plants grow efficiently, without health problems. Hydroponic dosers are ...

5. Kratky method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kratky_method

   The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic technique for growing plants suspended above a reservoir of nutrient-rich water. [1] Because it is a non-circulating technique, no additional inputs of water or nutrients are needed after the original application, and no electricity, pumps, or water and oxygen circulation systems are required. [2]

6. Hoagland solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoagland_solution

   The Hoagland solution is a hydroponic nutrient solution that was newly developed by Hoagland and Snyder in 1933, [1] modified by Hoagland and Arnon in 1938, [2] and revised by Arnon in 1950. [3] It is one of the most popular standard solution compositions for growing plants , in the scientific world at least, with more than 20,000 citations ...
