According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the world population will reach nine billion people in 2050, of which 75% will live in urban settlements. One of the biggest challenges will be meeting the demand for food, as farmland is being lost to climate change, water scarcity, soil pollution, among other factors. In this context, hydroponics, an agricultural ...

This review paper evaluates popular hydroponic methods and demonstrates how hydroponic has emerged as the go-to, long-term, sustainable answer to the perennial problem of insufficient access to high-quality potato seed stock. ... No studies in literature were observed where ebb and flow hydroponic system was used for potato seed production. The ...

Hydroponics is a plant-growing technique in which plants can be grown in nutrient solutions (containing dissolved plant nutrients) and without soil (soilless culture), with or without mechanical ...

Hydroponics can be briefly defined as cultivation of plants without soil (Savvas, 2017). In short, hydroponics, a Greek word meaning "hydro" (water) and "ponos" (labour) is the method of growing plants in different types of substrates (chemically inert), sand, gravel, or liquid (water), in which nutrients are added, but no soil is used (Savvas, 2003; Douglas, 1975) or hydroponics is a ...

Organic hydroponics refers to the use of organic nutrient sources in hydroponic systems. Bioponics is another term for organic hydroponics, though this term may also imply that microorganisms are added to the organic fertilizer source to ensure nutrient release (Fang and Chung, 2018).Aquaponics also fits within the definition of bioponics (Fang and Chung, 2018; Szekely and Jijakli, 2022).

This review examines recent innovations that have addressed traditional challenges and created new opportunities for hydroponic cultivation. Hydroponics offers advantages over traditional soil ...

The increasing demand for food, the lack of natural resources and arable land, and the recent restrictions on energy consumption require an immediate solution in terms of agricultural activities. This paper's objective was to review hydroponics (a new soilless cultivation technology) and compare it with conventional agriculture (soil cultivation) regarding its environmental impact and water ...

The literature on the hydroponic agriculture yields tends to focus on certain vegetable crops only (such as leafy and light crops) while overlooking others, such as vining crops. ... A review an hydroponic greenhouse cultivation for sustainable agriculture. Int. J. Agricult., Environ. Food Sci., 2 (2) (2018), 10.31015/jaefs.18010. Available at.

Hydroponics is a farming technique for growing plants with mineral nutrients using a soil-free medium. The plant roots are submerged in soil-free media, such as vermiculite or perlite, or just in mineral nutrient solutions. ... A literature review concluded that a higher internalization was observed in the hydroponically grown plants compared ...
