Question

Which of the following statement holds true in case of aeroponics?

• A. Plants can also be grown with their roots suspended in air
• B. Plants are grown in a green chamber with excellent aeration
• C. The environment in aeroponics is saturated with fine drops of mineral nutrients
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium. The basic principle of aeroponic growing is to grow plants suspended in a closed or semi-closed environment by spraying the plant's dangling roots and lower stem with an atomized or sprayed, nutrient-rich water solution. Ideally, the environment is kept away from pests and diseases so that the plants may grow healthier and more quickly than plants grown in other media

So the correct option is "All the above".
