Hydroponics and Horticultural Technology
Course Description:
Hydroponics was obscure and almost unheard of until the late
20th century.
Today it is a significant and expanding sector of the horticulture industry, offering lucrative opportunities in many branches of production horticulture. Hydroponic farming can be costly to set up; but it can also be conducted in places where other horticultural options are difficult; and it has the potential to provide much higher returns per acre than any other form of horticulture.
In Summary Hydroponics involves:
· Less land but more produce per acre
· More technology, more equipment, but less water, less need for chemical pest control and less waste products
· Growing plants for more of the year; but a need to watch your plants more closely
· Growing without soil means you can grow in cities, in otherwise unusable areas -and often closer to the end user (which means less transport costs)
