“…The nutrientrich water spray time was chosen to be 10 s at two-hour intervals. Notably, this spray time is significantly lower, and the interval is significantly higher than that of a conventional aeroponic system, which could further enhance water conservation efforts [37][38][39]. Plant growth was observed for a period of time, and an optimum gel type and ESP concentration were chosen for further studies.…”

Vitamin C is crucial for physical well-being, and its deficiency can lead to severe health consequences. Biofortification has been used to address this deficiency by enhancing vitamin C in plants. Additionally, soilless agriculture has been used to conserve and optimize water use in comparison to conventional agriculture. While hydrogels have been shown to improve water conservation and are used for biofortification in crops, their application has only been explored in soil-based and hydroponic farming. The aeroponics system is a plant-growing method that has shown potential for increasing yields and biomass while conserving water and nutrients. In this paper, we have developed an aeroponic-compatible medium to grow romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) with eggshell powder (ESP) mixed with calcium-alginate hydrogel as a substrate and nutrient source aiming to conserve water and incorporate vitamin C through biofortification. Herein, lower water spray time and higher intervals, with varied gel types and ESP concentrations, resulted in healthy lettuce growth. Plants treated with 0.5% ascorbic acid-absorbed ESP-mixed alginate hydrogel for biofortification showed higher levels of vitamin C compared to the traditional method. This study suggests using an alginate hydrogel–ESP-based substrate in aeroponics to reduce water usage and enhance plant biofortification of vitamin C.

“…Recognized as the father of contemporary Hydroponics systems, English scientist John Woodward played a pivotal role in shaping the present-day hydroponic techniques. Hydroponics has found success in developed countries and can be adapted with simpler technologies in urban areas, aligning with the concept of urban agriculture [6]. Various hydroponic systems, including deep flow, nutrient film, and aeroponics, are indispensable tools in plant factories, contributing to efficient and controlled plant cultivation [7].…”

In now a day’s soil based cultivation is major difficulties due to different man made reason such as urbanization and industrialization. Hydroponic system such as the deep flow technique, nutrient film technique and aeroponic systems are essential tools in plant factories more over sudden natural disaster, climate change and unlimited use of chemical for agriculture purpose lead to reduction in soil fertility and quality. That’s why scientist have evolved a new alternative approach to the agriculture system is called as hydroponic system. Hydroponic is a technique of growing plants in a water based and nutrient rich solution by hydroponic large number of crops for plants can be grown easily. The quality of yield and nutritive value of end products produced by hydroponically is generally greater than the natural soil based cultivation. This type of cultivation is diseases free, eco-friendly and growing popularity across the whole world including the both developed and developing countries.

Hydroponic Farming - A Modern Agriculture Technique [Working Title]

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The continuous growth of the global population, coupled with water shortages, climate change, pest and disease pressures, and urbanization, poses significant risks to the agriculture sector’s ability to feed the world’s 8 billion people. The limited natural resources, alongside increasing human needs and the ambitions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), necessitate modernized agriculture that can produce high quantities of quality food. Hydroponics—a vertical, soilless crop production technique for food, animal feed, and ornamental purposes—emerges as a valuable alternative in modern agriculture, especially in areas where critical production elements like land and water are scarce. This innovative approach offers numerous advantages over conventional farming, including efficient water and space utilization, year-round production, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced environmental control through ongoing technological advancements. Due to its space-efficient nature, many farmers are increasingly adopting hydroponics for vegetable and fodder production. Therefore, hydroponic technology provides a sustainable solution for food and feed production, optimizes space use, conserves water, controls diseases, and addresses the multifaceted challenges of conventional agriculture, contributing to the achievement of the United Nations’ SDGs.
