Aeroponics – Technology of the Future for Home Gardeners
Aeroponics is a technology where the plants are grown in an environment with moist air without the use of soil. The aeroponics system is a closed system with holes provided at the top to insert the vegetative plants into. The seeds can be planted on a wired mesh placed on top of the holes. The mechanism can be controlled externally through computer or timers for releasing the moist mist at regular intervals. The plants can be vegetative parts or seedlings or seeds.
The vegetative parts will soon develop roots since the moist air provides the nutrients in them and there will be no deficiency for it. Once the roots develop they can be easily transplanted to wherever needed. The main advantage of aeroponics is that it facilitates faster plant growth and more number of plants or seeds can be grown in lesser time than under normal conditions.
