Abstract
Hydroponics is a form of soilless agriculture that is dependent on an aerated water enriched nutrient solution. It is categorized into various forms such as the nutrient film technique, drip system, aeroponics, Ebb flow, water culture and wick system that are adaptive based on the variety of plants and conditions required for optimal growth.
