Hydroponics is a technique for growing plants without soil. In hydroponics, plant roots are immersed in a nutrient-rich water solution instead of soil. This allows the plant to receive necessary nutrients directly from the water, leading to potentially faster growth and larger yields compared to traditional soil-based cultivation.
This method of growing plants can be used in places where soil-based agriculture is impractical, such as in urban areas or regions with poor soil quality. Hydroponics also allows for more precise control over the plants' nutrients, which can lead to healthier, more productive plants.
