Soil-less cultivation

Soil-less cultivation, also known as hydroponics or soilless farming, involves growing plants without traditional soil. Instead, plants are supported in nutrient-rich water solutions or inert growing mediums like coconut coir, perlite, or rockwool. This method allows precise control of essential nutrients, water, and oxygen, often leading to faster growth and higher yields. It reduces the need for large land areas and minimizes soil-related issues like pests and diseases. Soil-less cultivation is especially useful in urban settings or areas with poor soil quality, making farming more efficient and sustainable.
