Enhanced Agricultural Productivity Using Hydroponics Technique: A Smart Farming System

Abstract

Hydroponic farming is one potential solution to the lack of arable land diminishing the capacity of agriculture. The hydroponic method of crop production has proved successful for precision farming in growing both flowers and vegetables. It requires fewer energy requirements than traditional agriculture because it employs fertilizer solutions under heavily controlled environmental conditions in limited areas. Hydroponic systems can be used as a treatment method for partially treated wastewater or reclaimed water before its discharge into the environment since plants have the ability to absorb nutrients, toxic metals, and emerging contaminants. Farmers engaged in hydroponic farming benefit from a wide range of significant advantages by enhancing their income through introducing quality products for a sustainable community. The newly created technology also arrived at the perfect time because traditional farming practices do not work with diminishing water levels. Plants may now be grown in any greenhouse or nursery, regardless of the season, as long as the necessary infrastructure is in place.
