Listing ID #5003414

Hydroponic growing is growing a plant without using soil - usually in an inert substance like rockwool or perlite, which hold the roots for easy water and nutrient absorption. Hydroponics systems back several hundred years, and there is evidence that ancient civilizations grew plants in water. Nutrients are vital to hydroponic success: there are sixteen essential elements that a plant needs to grow, and the right balance of these nutrients must be maintained for each specific variety of plants. Equally as important as nutrition are the factors of light, temperature (heating and cooling), and carbon dioxide. Insects play a key role in pollination and pest management. When you combine all of these factors, you create the controlled environment necessary for a hydroponic greenhouse.

Hydroponic systems offer growers benefits like increased plant productivity, a high yield per plant per square foot and fresh produce regardless of season or ground temperature. Today, there are many varieties of plants grown hydroponically which serve many different market segments, including farm stands, grocery stores, restaurants, processing plants and institutions. Hydroponic operations can vary in size from small operations (less than 1,000 square feet) to large operations farming many acres.
