Hydroponic Systems - The Modern Approach
Explanation:
- Hydroponic systems utilize a nutrient-rich water solution to feed plants, eliminating the need for soil.
Benefits:
- Control: Growers have better control over nutrient availability and can adjust conditions quickly.
- Less Daily Care: Less prone to pests and diseases compared to soil, reducing daily care needs.
Challenges:
- Non-organic: Typically can't use organic nutrients; relies on mineral and chemical nutrients.
- Yield: Matching the yield of soil-grown plants can be challenging.
