Aeroponics
In aeroponics, the plants are placed on a structure that holds them, leaving the aerial part visible, so that it receives light, and on the other side are the roots, which remain hanging in a closed environment, leaving them free of soil, substrates or aqueous solutions.
In aeroponics, plants are placed on a structure that holds them, leaving the aerial part visible so that it receives light, and on the other hand, the roots are placed, which are left hanging in a closed environment, leaving them free of soil, substrates or aqueous solutions. The roots of the plants receive water and nutrients through an aqueous solution that is nebulized in the air forming a dew or fine mist, formed by tiny droplets. This is an advanced technique and a little more complex technology than the traditional hydroponic system. In addition, it promotes greater development of food, due to the direct contact of the roots with oxygen and nutrients. The structure can be vertical (cultivation tower), inclined or horizontal.
