Publisher's Synopsis
Aeroponics is a promising soilless farming method for solving future food crisis and a popular, new way of growing plants due to the speed, cost and novelty. It is a form of hydroponic technique and a type of vertical farming. This farming system empowers the producer to control root zone nutrients, water regimes, and environmental conditions using precise technology. Producers have complete access to the roots throughout the life of the crop. Aeroponic farming is often considered to be superior in terms of aeration, water use, growth time, and space requirements. Further research into aeroponics techniques may help improve future farming productivity. Utilizing Aeroponics Techniques for Improved Farming explores various aeroponics practices to improve current farming industries. It also examines the science behind hydrology and soil and crop retention, using aeroponics solutions for effective farming. This book covers topics such as hydrology, agricultural science, and water management, and is a useful resource for engineers, scientists, environmentalists, agriculturalists, farmers, business owners, academicians, and researchers.
