Hydroponics agriculture as a modern agriculture technique

Abstract

Hydroponics, also known as controlled environment agriculture, is a method of cultivating plants and herbs without soil using mineral-supplemented solutions. Agriculture biotechnology enhances its wings on developing genetically modified plants for expanding crop yield and introducing characteristic features such as growing seasonal crops throughout the year, weather-resistant, and pest resistance. Compared to traditional agriculture, hydroponic cultivation yields high-quality crops with 90% more efficient use of water. Therefore, hydroponic cultivation could be considered a succeeding future of agriculture. In this context, understanding agriculture through the hydroponic route is vital for the efficient cultivation of crops. This review elaborates on the different classes of hydroponic systems and the factors that enable the systematic elements of the frame-up.The significant intent of this review is to provide information on distinct hydroponic systems.The present review reports a comprehensive discussion about the significance of the hydroponics system, its mechanism, nutrient solution preparation, types of hydroponic setup, and the challenges faced and would light up the knowledge in the same.This review focus on the current feasible hydroponic method of crop cultivation.

Boosting nutritional quality of Urtica dioica L. to resist climate change

“…Central to this change is the adoption of modern cultivation methods that not only increase productivity but are also compatible with environmental principles. These methods offer the possibility of bridging the gap between the growing demand for food and the constraints imposed by finite resources ( Gonnella and Renna, 2021 ; Heyl et al., 2023 ; Monisha et al., 2023 ).…”

“…Hydroponic production is a turning point and a suitable solution to overcome the above problems, mainly because of its advantages, which range from good management of natural resources to rational water use and prevention of nutrient losses from the rhizosphere ( Gonnella and Renna, 2021 ; Monisha et al., 2023 ). In a world struggling with environmental problems, hydroponic systems represent a step toward low input, high resource efficiency, and closed-loop production.…”
