Aeroponics Farming
Aeroponics Farming is a soilless farming method in which plants are grown without the need for soil in a misty environment. Plant roots are suspended in the air and irrigated with a nutrient-rich mist in aeroponics. This is not the same as hydroponics, in which the roots of the plants are immersed in a solution containing nutrients and water. The growing popularity of aeroponics in India can be due to its several advantages, including reduced water usage, increased crop yields, and the capacity to cultivate crops in locations with limited space. Herbs, salads, and leafy greens are a few frequent crops grown in aeroponic systems.
