HYDROPONICS
Hydroponics is the cultivation of plant by using water
without the use of soil with emphasis on meeting the
needs of nutrients for plants. Hydroponic water
needs at less than the water demand in the
cultivation of the soil.
the advantages of hydroponics
1. Save the existing land and can dipaktekkan
anywhere, do not have to have a land area.
2. Use of water for more efficient plants.
3. More economical in their use of fertilizers.
4. The plant growth faster than ordinary plants.
5. Quality of plants better than plants grown in
normal soil.
6. No longer dependent on the weather and
natural conditions.
7. Do not use pesticides or other chemical
fertilizers, so that the plants produced more
healthy.
8. The problem of pests, diseases and disorders
of other crops can be minimized.
9. Do not need a lot of workers.
shortage of hydroponic cultivation
system

1. A device in a hydroponic system are difficult

to obtain and the price is quite expensive.
2. It requires precision, and special abilities.
3. The initial investment cost is quite expensive.
4. Plant crops will fail or die if something goes
wrong in the system.
Important aspects of hydroponic
plant:
1. Water.
Hydroponic plants depend on water, water becomes an
important aspect of quality hydroponic plant growth.
2. Light.
Rays are reasonably necessary to grow well.
3. Oxygen.
Oxygen is an important aspect of hydroponic crops.
Low oxygen levels can result in decreased permeability
of the cell membrane so that the cell wall is difficult to
penetrate. This will result in water shortages and
wilting plants.
4. Nutrition.
To grow well and getting the nutrients, nutrient
solution should be administered terat
kind type of hydroponics
1. Hydroponics System "Wick system".
In this method, the plants are planted in a media
at the bottom is placed a solution of macro and
micro nutrients, so the plant roots absorb
touching and full of nutrient solution it.
• Also known as the axis of the system and the
simplest hydroponic
• The medium used is usually rockwool or husk
fuel
• Water containing nutrients pulled upwards with
its axis like the principle of capillarity water power
• Advantages: Easy, cheap and favored by
beginners hydroponics
• Cons: Must be frequently rubbed at least 2-3
times daily nutrition so easily absorbed nutrients
and oxygen to circulate
2. Hydroponics “Nutrient film tehnique”.
In this method, the plants in plating
diselokan a long and narrow that the
material can be made of plastic
• Model NFT is suitable for vegetable
production
• This model has a high dissolved oxygen and
nutrients supplied continuously. Auto plants
absorb more nutrients and easy
• Noteworthy in the NFT is the slope, water
storage and treatment NFT
