As us humans are up against heaps of demanding problems and these are leading towards huge change to our lifestyles globally. There are multiple benefits, when we switch from traditional farming system to Hydroponic systems, few of which are listed below:
Enhanced plant yields through hydroponic farming
Hydroponic plants produce a greater yield of fruits and vegetables because in a hydroponic system plants are more densely spaced together compared to the size of land that would be needed to grow the same number of plants. Also, in a hydroponic system many of the elements that can enhance plant growth — such as the pH level of the water, nutrient content of the water, amount and type of light, etc. can be better controlled.
Less water
Hydroponic systems use less water — as much as 10 times less water — than traditional field crop watering methods because water in a hydroponic system is captured and reused, rather than allowed to run off and drain to the environment.
Locally grown
Indoor hydroponic systems allow plants to grow almost anywhere all year round.
Less space is sufficient in hydroponic farming
Hydroponic systems come in a variety of designs including vertical stacking systems that take up a small amount of space.
Crops Grow Faster in hydroponic systems
The growth rate for a hydroponic plant is 30-50 percent faster than a plant grown in soil. With hydroponics, nutrients are more easily available for the plant to absorb. The grower can control light, heat, nutrients, hydration, pests, and all other aspects of the growing process.
Require less labor
Without the need for tilling, weeding, herbicide and insecticide application, and other labor-intensive farm jobs, hydroponics offers a lighter load for laborers and can easily be managed with far fewer man-hours.
