Collect informations about hydroponics, aquaponics and aeroponics
Answers
Answer:
For the sake of clarity, it should be noted at the outset that aquaponics and aeroponics is basically a form of hydroponics. ... In hydroponics, we use other media instead of substrates to transfer the nutrients that plants needs. Most often it is sand, rockwool or just water pipes, such as NFT systems.
Answer:
Hydroponics:-
Hydroponics literally means ‘water working’ and is the soil-less growing of plants. In hydroponics, plants grow their roots in a soil alternative (called a growing medium) such as rockwool or hydroton. Then, a nutrient solution (in liquid form) is added to the water which is used for watering the plants. Various nutrient formulas have been designed specifically for hydroponics and have the proper ratios of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (N-P-K) along with other trace elements plants need to encourage optimal plant growth. This solution is added to the water so that when plants receive that h2o, they also soak up the other nutrients they need.
Aeroponics:-
Aeroponics means ‘air working’ and is similar to hydroponics in that it is also a soil-less method in which nutrients are delivered through water. However, with this method the plants grow in an air or mist environment. The main difference here is that the water and nutrients are delivered differently than they are in hydroponics.
Aquaponics:-
Aquaponics is different than both hydroponics and aeroponics in that it’s achieved through a combination of aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (the soil-less growing of plants). Adding fish into the equation creates a natural ecosystem in which fish, plants, and bacteria thrive off one another. Instead of needing a nutrient solution mixed with chemicals, the waste from fish and the living bacteria in an aquaponics system provide all of the nutrients the plants need. Likewise, the fish together with the bacteria create a cleaner, non-toxic environment for the fish to live in.
