Answer:
The practice of growing plants in nutrient-enriched water without soil is called soilless growth or hydroponics.
Application:
It is a special technique used in nutritional studies of plants. The plants are raised in large tanks made of borosilicate glass or natural polythene, containing a nutrient solution and are supported by wire netting. Tanks are provided with a solution regulating and pumping systems and are placed under controlled conditions. Iron is added as Fe-EDTA to keep the metal in soluble water . Because the plants are grown in large tanks, the process of soilless cultivation is also known as tank farming. Hydroponics is useful in areas having thin, infertile and dry soils.
