Question

Why is aeration important in hydroponics?

Answer 1

Hydroponics:

1. Hydroponics is the technique of growing and cultivating plants without soil.
2. The plants are cultivated in nutrient-rich water and may or may not contain mechanical support.
3. The solution contains multiple chemical compounds that possess key elements that promote plant growth.
4. Aeration is crucial for providing proper oxygenation and ensuring efficient nutrient circulation.
5. Constant aeration ensures that the nutrients are kept afloat and the nutrients are always available for absorption by the plants.
