Aquaponics and Hydroponics

i suppose you can grow organically with hydroponics but its mighty difficult.

normally hydroponics is considered the antithesis of organic farming

Barack Obama is the president of united states of America ( since January 2009 ) was born on august 4, 1961, he is now 54 plus.

It really depends on how involved you are getting. A basic system can be set up in a matter of a couple of hours.

One could do a little research on a home and garden website first to learn about the advantages of a hydroponic grow system. After research, one would probably find that Instructables would be a good site to find and purchase such a system.

Hydroponics is a branch of agriculture where plants are grown without soil. A hydroponic system will grow plants in water that has been supplemented with nutrients usually found in soil.

Aquaponic farmers test their water, and they adjust nutrients as needed.

AquaShield can be used to strengthen plants' root systems before transplanting, improving the stability of and survivability of transplanted plants grown using hydroponics.

Hydroponic cloners are used for grooming the roots of plants for growing. Instead of the plants being placed in dirt or soil, the plants grow in open air and the hydroponic cloner puts moisture on the roots to keep them healthy and growing.

How heavy a hydroponic system is varies greatly depending on the type of system. Remember that once water is added to the system, it will be much heavier than when it is dry. Some systems weigh as little as three pounds.

To grow a plant well you must duplicate its natural growing environment. Your must control the atmosphere. Aquaponics is uniquely designed to do just that. From the temperature of the fish tank, its ammonia, nitrogen, and debris levels, the flow of nutrients over the roots, to light timing and air temperature, everything is controlled to duplicate the environment in which the plant grows best.

unclear on the question, A picture Plant is a plant that grows in Bogs and low areas that stay moist and are rooted into the soil which will not make it Hydroponically grown, if you are referring to a plant that is suspended in a glass or vase with it base or roots dipping into the water this would be similar to the Water Culture method of Hydroponics. example which is commonly seen is taking a sweet potato and suspending it on end in a glass of water and letting the vines grow from the potato. Hydroponics is a method of growing Plants without soil and feeding nutrients directly to the root system without the plant having to work to obtain nutrients from the soil. Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants able to use their tube-shaped leaves to trap and digest insects.[1] The insects are drawn in by a sweet nectar and visual lures. The inside of the tube is often too slippery for the insect to climb out. When the insects fall into the pool of water on the inside, the insects are digested by enzymes or bacteria. The reason these plants formed this method of seeking nutrition is because their native soils lack minerals or are very acidic, and this method enables the plants to compensate by getting nutrients from insects.

Hydroponics has many uses that include farming in areas where soil is less than nutrient and/or difficult to farm in. Other reasons are things such as science projects and entertainment.

Hydroponics is the soil less growing technology where water is the medium for plants.Hydroponic plants grow in a combination of nutrients and water. Growing plants hydroponically has several advantages as it has the potential to increase fruit size as well as yield resulting into maximum growth rates. Plants grow faster,mature and larger because water and nutrients are constantly available for uptake. Hydroponically grown plants are normally grown inside, keeping them safe from insects and diseases.

Also it is cost effective and efficient method for small gardener and farmers too.

They are carotene and xanthophyll. They are secondary pigments

The optimal pH depends on what you are growing. Much like soil pH, it will need to be adjusted per crop.

Hydroponics is utilized in various countries around the world, including the United States, Netherlands, Australia, and Japan. These countries have embraced hydroponic farming to optimize space, conserve water, and enhance food production, particularly in urban areas. Additionally, nations like Singapore and Israel are also pioneers in hydroponic technology, focusing on sustainable agriculture practices to address food security challenges.

as far as i am aware hydroponic gardens are used because there is a lower rate of desease on plants, most deseases come from the soil. hydroponics eliminates this. they are also used in parts of the world where normal farming is not possible due to its quick turn-around time and relatively low water consumption. a typical crop can use 75% less water (less evaporation) and take up half the footprint. sees how the roots are not growing as big to find nutrients more energy is used to grow the actual plant.

At the present level of development certainly not. If substantial advances are made then it may help.
