What is Hydroponics
?
Hydroponics is the science and practice of growing plants using a solution of water and nutrients
instead of soil. The term is a combination of two Greek words roughly meaning water working. It
was coined by Dr. W.F. Gericke of the University of California in 1936. In that year, Dr. Gericke
successfully grew plants on a large scale in a solution of water and mineral salts. Due to lack of
better equipment, he used his bathtub for the growing bed.
Today, modern hydroponic greenhouses produce high yields of fresh, nutritious crops for
distribution to may parts of the world. They are located in places where it is not possible to grow
crops with soil, because it is too arid or there is not enough room for fields.
Scientists are currently testing the use of hydroponic cultivation in space. As our world’s
population expands and as we explore new frontiers, the primary method of food production will
be hydroponics.
