soillesssystem
A soilless system, or soilless culture, is a method of growing plants without using conventional soil as a growing medium. In these systems, plants receive nutrients through water-based solutions or through inert substrates that support the roots. The major forms are hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics, with various substrates such as coco coir, rockwool, perlite, or vermiculite used to support root systems in different configurations.
Hydroponics involves roots that are in contact with a nutrient solution, either flooded, circulated, or continuously
Key advantages of soilless systems include precise nutrient control, efficient water use, reduced soil-borne pests and
Historically, soilless cultivation gained prominence in the 20th century with developments in hydroponics and related methods.
