FAQ
What is a hydroponics system and how does it work?
A hydroponics system is a system that effectively uses water to grow crops in place of traditional soil. Nutrients are supplied to the plants by dissolving them in the water used for irrigation, and the water and nutrients are directed directly to the roots of the plants by means of a suitable irrigation system, such as the hydroponic system
Can treated water or waste water be used in a hydroponics system?
Yes, treated water or waste water can be used in a hydroponics system after proper treatment and purification
What are the main benefits of a hydroponics system?
Among the main benefits of a hydroponics system include efficient use of water and nutrients, increased productivity and crop quality, better climate and pest control, and environmental sustainability.
Can a hydroponics system be implemented in urban areas?
Yes, an urban hydroponics system can be implemented using techniques such as vertical gardening and hanging hydroponic systems.
How long does it usually take to recover capital in hydroponics?
The time to recover capital in hydroponics varies based on several factors, including the size of the project, the crops selected, and the target market. The payback time is usually between 4-6 years.
What are the costs associated with setting up a hydroponics system and what is the expected return on investment?
The costs associated with setting up a hydroponic system will vary based on the size, scale, and type of system used. Major costs may include the purchase of necessary equipment, structures and materials, system installation, energy costs and maintenance. The return on investment can be high due to the improved yield and higher quality crops that can be sold at competitive prices.
What crops are suitable for hydroponics?
A wide variety of crops can be grown in a hydroponics system, including vegetables, fruits, aromatic herbs, and flowering plants. Common crops in this type of farming include tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, strawberries, mint, parsley, and others
Can hydroponic crops be grown throughout the year?
Yes, hydroponic crops can be grown all year round thanks to advanced climate and lighting control
Can higher productivity be achieved with hydroponic crops?
Yes, higher productivity of hydroponic crops can be achieved due to improved control of nutrients, irrigation and climate
