Advantages of Hydroponics
Following, we will list a few reasons why the method of hydroponics is used worldwide as a method for food production:
- You don’t need soil
- You can re-use the water, because it stays inside the system – which means less water costs
- It´s possible to control the nutrient level in its entirety – which means less nutrient costs
- No nutrient pollution for the environment, because it´s a controlled system
- Stable and high yields
- Vermin and diseases are easier to fight than it is the case with the medium soil, because of the mobility of the container
Nowadays hydroponics is established as a branch of the agricultural economics. The progress has happened fast, and the results that have been reached in different countries are evidence for the convenience of this method and it´s superiority in many aspects opposite to conventional methods in gardening. The two main advantages of this soil-free growing method of plants are for one thing the harvest yields that are much higher and for another thing the fact that hydroponics can be also be operated in places where soil cultivation and gardening are not possible.
