  2. Deep water culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_water_culture

    Deep water culture (DWC) is a hydroponic method of plant production by means of suspending the plant roots in a solution of nutrient-rich, oxygenated water. Also known as deep flow technique (DFT), floating raft technology (FRT), or raceway, this method uses a rectangular tank less than one foot deep filled with a nutrient-rich solution with ...

  3. 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]

  4. Hydroponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroponics

    The hydroponic method of plant production by means of suspending the plant roots in a solution of nutrient-rich, oxygenated water. Traditional methods favor the use of plastic buckets and large containers with the plant contained in a net pot suspended from the centre of the lid and the roots suspended in the nutrient solution.

  5. Ebb and flow hydroponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebb_and_Flow_hydroponics

    Ebb and flow hydroponics is a form of hydroponics that is known for its simplicity, reliability of operation and low initial investment cost. Pots are filled with an inert medium which does not function like soil or contribute nutrition to the plants but which anchors the roots and functions as a temporary reserve of water and solvent mineral ...

  6. Controlled-environment agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled-environment...

    Production takes place within an enclosed growing structure such as a greenhouse or plant factory. [1] Plants are often grown in a soilless medium in order to supply the proper amounts of water and nutrients to the root zone as well as supplemental lighting to ensure a sufficient daily light integral. CEA optimizes the use of resources such as ...

  7. Aquaponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaponics

    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.

  8. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    Hypoxia can affect the nutrient uptake of a plant because, without oxygen present, respiration becomes inhibited within the root cells. The nutrient film technique is a hydroponic technique in which the roots are not fully submerged. Incomplete submergence allows for adequate aeration of the roots, while a "film" thin layer of nutrient-rich ...

  9. 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.
