Abstract

Soilless Agriculture a New and Advanced Method for Agriculture Development: an Introduction

Highlights

  • Several published works on cultivation plants in soils, few of these concentrate on planting plants in soilless cultures

  • Soilless culture could be a technique of cultivation of recent and advanced and needs to go looking for human cadres have the power to qualify for this work and could be a rare, sadly

  • Nutrient film technique (NFT): The nutrient film technique (Figure 2) is recirculated design to run highly oxygenated dissolved nutrients continuously over the roots of plants through a set of channels, typically grown in baskets hanging in a PVC pipe

Summary

Research Article

Benefits of soilless cultures include the reservation of cultivated lands for main crops; save not less than 90% of irrigated water; use nearly recycled fixed amount of water; most vegetable crops succeed and give the highest productivity in soilless agriculture than the ordinary agriculture; It can be run in various places such as balconies, roofs of buildings, various greenhouses and lands unsuitable for cultivation; the provision of fertilizer materials, where it’s used rationed amounts calculated accurately nutrients according to the plant requirements; Ease of dealing with plants and ease of conducting the required protection operations against various pests; Despite the increase in the constituent unit cost of soilless culture, but the large amount of production offset this cost in a short time. Soilless culture is a method of cultivation of new and advanced and requires us to search for human cadres have the ability to qualify for this work and is a rare,
