Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)

The Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) is a method of hydroponic farming where a thin, continuous flow of nutrient-rich water circulates over the roots of plants. This system uses a slight slope in a tubing or channel, allowing plants to grow with their roots continuously bathed in nutrients while receiving oxygen from the air exposure. NFT is energy-efficient and space-saving, providing plants with consistent nourishment and oxygen, leading to faster growth. It's commonly used for leafy greens and herbs, offering precise control over nutrients and environmental conditions for optimal plant health.
