Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.With hydroponics the plants are grown in an inert growing medium and a perfectly balanced, pH adjusted nutrient solution is delivered to the roots in a highly soluble form.

Advantages of hydroponics:

1. No soil is needed for hydroponics.
2. Water used efficiency is high.
3. High yield is achieved per unit of input used.
