Know about all the plants that can be grown successfully in Aeroponics Systems
Aeroponics is an indoor gardening practice in which plants are grown and nourished by suspending their root structures in air. The process requires regular spraying of nutrients and water solution. Moreover, it offers an efficient means to grow plants, including fruits and vegetables, without the need to pot the plants to nutrient-rich soil. The plants are suspended in an enclosed setting and water, mixed with plant food, is sprayed onto the roots.
Therefore, this process does not require any containers or trays to hold water. It is an effective and efficient way to grow plants as it requires less water and minimal space compared to traditional farming techniques.

Aeroponics, a growth mechanism of vertical farming in which mist, mixed with vital nutrients, water and oxygen is directed to the open roots of plants for their growth. This growth mechanism involves a closed-loop system that uses approximately 95% less water than field farming. This technique does not use pesticides, in addition to zero harmful waste production in the environment. The controlled environment of aeroponics has the capability to produce approximately 70% more yield than traditional agriculture.
The demand for aeroponics is expected to increase rapidly, owing to various factors such as rise in popularity of organic foods, limited arable land for agriculture, growing popularity of disease less environment in agriculture and decrease in arable land. Nonetheless, rise in urban population and surge in adoption of technology driven agriculture are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the aeroponics Industry players.
