Since, the cultivation isn’t dependent upon soil and weather conditions if it is in enclosed space, one can regulate the production as per their wish. However, testing and monitoring at regular intervals is necessary to maintain the nutrient concentration of the plants. This enables keeping a track of the health of the crops, diagnosing problems if any and just to be certain that one is in the right direction.

Hydroponic Nutrients: The Basics

With conventional farming consuming a lot more time and efforts of the farmer, hydroponic farming has become one of the latest, more feasible way of growing vegetables. Who would have ever imagined farming without soil being involved? But hydroponic technique does the same, in a shorter span of time with the plant growing directly as its roots are immersed in the nutrient filled solution, allowing it to absorb. Hydroponic vegetables are usually grown in Greenhouses, in a completely controlled atmosphere. They take up just as much as one-fifth of the land and space required in traditional farming and there is no worrying about the soil strength or the appropriate vegetating sessions because the outside temperature plays no role in the growth of the veggie. There is an abundance of nutrients to choose from, for the better quality of your veggies. The nutrients/fertilizers used in hydroponic systems are available in both liquid and dry forms and in both organic and synthetic types
