AEROPONICS

What is Aeroponics farming technique? According to Wikipedia, Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate media. Aeroponic culture differs from both hydroponics and in-vitro (Plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. It refers to the method of growing crops with their roots suspended in a misted nutrient solution. Aeroponics is a form of hydroponic technique. Water is the sole nutrient carrier and typically the method is not hybridized with geoponic technique; although due to the sensitivity of root systems aeroponics is often combined with conventional hydroponics which is used as an emergency 'crop saver' -backup nutrition and water supply- if the aeroponic apparatus fails.
