A hydroponic system is a soilless growing method that uses nutrient solutions to feed plants. The NFT short for nutrient film technique, is a popular type of hydroponic system that uses a thin film of nutrient solution flowing continuously over the roots of plants. The system is mainly for leaf vegetables and herb plants.
Main features of Prasada NFT hydroponic systems:
Continuous nutrient flow: Flowing over the roots of plants by nutrient solution, ensuring that they have a constant supply of nutrient solution.
Designed Channels: The channels in which the plants are grown are shallow, which helps to conserve water and prevent root rot.
Sloped layout: The channels are sloped so that the nutrient solution flows naturally down the channels and back to a tank
Aeration: The nutrient solution is aerated to provide the roots with oxygen.
Why NFT planting is a trend?
Efficient use of water and nutrients: Recycle systems, NFT systems save water and nutrients than traditional soil-based growing methods.
High yields: Precise fertilization and control, increase the high quality and yields of crops.
Fast grow: Continuous supply of nutrient solution, makes plants grow faster than plants grown in soil.
Less pests and diseases: Avoid the pests and diseases from the soil.
Main components of NFT system
