Question

why is purification of water and nutrient salts so important in studies involving mineral nutrition using hydroponics....
Can anyone tell me the answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) In hydroponics carefully prepared standardised nutrient solutions are used for growing plants. These nutrients are taken up by the plroots of the plants. It is essential to purify the water we use and remove any minerals present in it. This is because the preparation of standard nutrient solution has a fixed concentration of minerals and any minerals if present previously and not removed from the water will cause an error in proper resolution. Hence purification of water and minerals is required for obtaining maximum optimum growth of plants.

(or)

2) Hydroponics is the art of growing plants in a nutrient solution in the absence of soil. Since the plant roots are exposed to a limited amount of the solution, there are chances that the concentrations of oxygen and other minerals in the plant roots would reduce. Therefore, in studies involving mineral nutrition using hydroponics, purification of water and nutrient salts is essential so as to maintain an optimum growth of the plants.

Both are correct answers
