Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is a highly valuable spice and medicinal plant known for its potent aromatic compounds. Due to its scarcity and susceptibility to various challenges, including adverse weather, soil conditions, and adulteration. There is a growing interest in soilless cultivation methods such as hydroponics to enhance saffron production. This article discusses the potential benefits of soilless cultivation, the structure for cultivating corms in hydroponic systems, the choice of growing media, nutrient solutions, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and environmental conditions, including light spectrum modulation, to optimize saffron corm production.

“…In order to set up a hydroponics farm, it is important to take into account the cost of various pieces of equipment, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), fans, irrigation systems, control systems, railways, and lighting. The adoption of hydroponics as a farming technique is significantly hampered by the enormous initial cost of the system [42]. Thus, it is crucial to create new, better goods and services to aid the hydroponic system.…”

Hydroponic farming is one potential solution to the lack of arable land diminishing the capacity of agriculture. The hydroponic method of crop production has proved successful for precision farming in growing both flowers and vegetables. It requires fewer energy requirements than traditional agriculture because it employs fertilizer solutions under heavily controlled environmental conditions in limited areas. Hydroponic systems can be used as a treatment method for partially treated wastewater or reclaimed water before its discharge into the environment since plants have the ability to absorb nutrients, toxic metals, and emerging contaminants. Farmers engaged in hydroponic farming benefit from a wide range of significant advantages by enhancing their income through introducing quality products for a sustainable community. The newly created technology also arrived at the perfect time because traditional farming practices do not work with diminishing water levels. Plants may now be grown in any greenhouse or nursery, regardless of the season, as long as the necessary infrastructure is in place.

With the introduction of hydroponics, a cutting-edge technique that is completely changing conventional procedures, the long-standing practice of mushroom growing has changed to suit modern difficulties. Traditionally cultivated in natural substrates, mushrooms are currently flourishing in hydroponic systems, which substitute nutrient-rich water solutions for soil. This change brings about an evolution in the mushroom industry and satisfies the growing need for sustainable agriculture methods. The advantages of hydroponic mushroom culture are unmatched; they include better nutrient control, year-round output, space efficiency, and pest and disease control. Growers can customize fertilizer levels and create ideal growing conditions for a variety of mushroom species thanks to the accuracy of hydroponic systems. Hydroponics overcomes seasonal limitations to guarantee steady mushroom production, satisfying the rising need for fresh produce that is acquired locally. Its layout maximizes available space, which is especially beneficial for urban farming. usage of land. Because hydroponics is an environmentally benign method, there is less chance of soil-borne illnesses and pests, which means less need for chemical treatments. This method creates a regulated, pollution-free atmosphere that promotes improved mushroom quality and consistency. In addition, hydroponic mushroom farming reduces nutrient leakage and uses less water, which is in line with the global trend toward ecologically friendly farming methods. To sum up, the application of hydroponics to the growth of mushrooms represents a revolutionary advancement in mycology. Improved sustainability, production, and profit for mushroom growers are among the benefits that follow. Hydroponics is a viable solution that could revolutionize the mushroom business and make a substantial contribution towards achieving greater sustainability in agriculture as demand for mushrooms develops.
