Hydroponics
Understanding Hydroponics And Examples With Their Kinds of Plants - Hydroponics is a cultivation of cultivation using water without utilizing soil and emphasizes the growth of nutritional needs for plants. The need for water in hydroponic plants is less than the need for water in aquaculture using soil media. Hydroponics uses water more efficiently, so it is suitable to be applied in areas that have limited water supply.
Beginning of Landless Cultivation
Examples of hydroponic plants
Initially Gericke interpreted the growth of hydroponic plants with mineral nutrient solutions. Hydroponics is cultivation without soil. Many cultivation without soil but with a solution for hydroponics.
Plants that are not mashed with technique in general will be able to grow using controlled environmental systems such as hydroponics. It seems that NASA is also utilizing this hydroponics in the space program. Ray Wheeler, a plant physiologist at the Space Life Science Center's Space Center Laboratory, Kennedy, believes that hydroponics will have a role in making progress in space travel. He called it a bioregenerative support system.
Types of Hydroponics
Static solution culture
Continuous-flow solution culture, for example: NFT (Nutrient Film Technique), DFT (Deep Flow Technique)
Aeroponics
Passive sub-irrigation
Ebb and flow or flood and drain sub-irrigation
Run to waste
Deep water culture
Bubbleponics
Bioponic
Etymology
In English hydroponics (hydroponic) which comes from the Greek word hydro which means water and ponos which means power. Hydroponics is also known as soilless culture or the meaning of landless cultivation. So hydroponics works with plants that use water by not using soil for their growing media.
Hydroponic technique
Hydroponic techniques are mostly carried out on a small scale for hobbies among the people in Indonesia. In selecting the types of plants to be cultivated on a commercial business scale, more attention must be given, because not all agricultural products have economic value. Types of plants that have high economic value as hydroponic cultivation, namely:
Paprika
Tomato
Zucchini
Melon
Japanese eggplant
Lettuce
Basic Method
Hydroponics has a free understanding of ways or techniques in farming by increasing the fulfillment of nutritional needs in plants, or in our understanding planting without using soil media. From this understanding we can see that the hydroponic farming technique begins with the increasing human attention to the need for fertilizer for plants.
Plants everywhere will still grow if the nutrients (nutrients) needed are always fulfilled. In this case the stoic function is as a buffer of plants and the water available is a nutrient solvent, and can then be absorbed by plants. That mindset ultimately gave birth to hydroponic farming techniques, where the emphasis was on meeting the needs of plant nutrition.
