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.
Aquaponics is a food production system that couples aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish, snails or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) whereby the nutrient-rich aquaculture water is fed to hydroponically grown plants.
H 3 BO 3, and Na 2 B 4 O 7: An essential nutrient, however, some plants are highly sensitive to boron (e.g. toxic effects are apparent in citrus trees at 0.5 ppm).

Saltwater aquaponics (also known as marine aquaponics) is a combination of plant cultivation and fish rearing (also called aquaculture), systems with similarities to standard aquaponics, except that it uses saltwater instead of the more commonly used freshwater. In some instances, this may be diluted saltwater.
The Nitrophosphate Process. Step 1. Nitrophosphates are made by acidiculating phosphate rock with nitric acid. Nitric acid + Phosphate rock → Phosphoric acid + Calcium sulphate + hexafluorosilicic acid. Ca 5 F(PO 4) 3 + 10 HNO 3 →6 H 3 PO 4 + 5 Ca(NO 3) 2 + HF; 6 HF + SiO 2 →H 2 SiF 6 + 2 H 2 O; Step 2. Removal of Calcium Nitrate.
