Discover more about the various hydroponics systems and decide which one best meets your needs. Hydroponics is the practise of growing plants without soil, either in water or a nutrient solution. The best method is this one since it results in high yields, saves water, and reduces pollutants.<br>

6 types of Hydroponics systems www.karikala.in
Growing plants in water or a fertiliser solution without using soil is known as hydroponics. This approach is best since it produces high yields and aids in water saving and pollution reduction. You can research which hydroponic systems are appropriate for your garden because there are so many different types on the market. Six prevalent types of hydroponics systems that are frequently used for indoor gardening will be covered in this article: www.karikala.in
6 Types of Hydroponic Systems 1.Deep water culture systems 2. Wick systems 3. Nutrient film technique systems 4. Ebb and flow systems 5. Drip systems 6. Aeroponics www.karikala.in
1. Deep water culture systems Hydroponics known as deep water cultivation involves floating plants. DWC systems, sometimes referred to as deepwater culture systems, are the most straightforward and popular hydroponics technology solutions. Using a DWC system, plants are suspended in net pots over a large reservoir of nutrient solution that is high in oxygen. As long as the plants are submerged in the mixture, they will always have access to nutrients, water, and oxygen. Deep water culture is frequently regarded as the most natural kind of hydroponics. www.karikala.in
2. Wick systems In a wick system, plants are placed in growing media on a tray that sits on one of the top reservoirs. In this reservoir, a water solution with dissolved nutrients is stored. Water is frequently transferred via wicks from the reservoir to the growing tray. The growing media around the roots of the plants becomes saturated with water and nutrients as they flow up the wick. These wicks could be made from rope using a string to feel. The most fundamental hydroponic system is the wick system. Wick hydroponic systems are passive, so they don't require mechanical parts like pumps to function. It is ideal for situations when there is erratic or no power. www.karikala.in
3. Nutrient film technique systems Nutrient film technique (NFT) systems suspend plants above a continuous stream of nutrient solutions that flows over the ends of the plants' root systems. The grow tray's channels supporting the plants are slanted, allowing water to trickle down its length before draining into the reservoir below. The water in the reservoir is then carbonated using an airstone. The nutrient-rich water is then pumped from the reservoir and brought back to the top of the channel by a submersible pump. The nutrient film technique is a hydroponic recirculating system. www.karikala.in
4. Ebb and flow systems In ebb and flow hydroponics, nutrient solution is flooded onto a plant bed from a reservoir below. A timer is incorporated into the submersible pump in the storage. As soon as the timer ends, the pump starts supplying the grow bed with nutrients and water. Gravity gradually removes the water from the grow bed and restores it to the reservoir when the timer goes off. The device has an overflow tube to make sure flooding doesn't go past a certain point and damage the plants' fruits and stalks. www.karikala.in
