About this book

This handbook covers both principal and applications aspects of hydroponics. This reference book shows the state-of-the-art in this area, while offering a clear view of supplying plants with nutrients other than soil. Chapters about hydroponics provides the reader with an understanding of the properties of the various soilless media and how these properties affect plant performance in relation to basic agricultural operations, such as fertilization and irrigation. Chapters explore the drawbacks and advantages of using hydroponics as a soilless crop production system and provide a wider view of science, technology, and economic impact of hydroponics.

This book is a valuable resource to agriculturists, horticulturalists, greenhouse and nursery managers, and professionals involved with the production of plants. The handbook provides chapters about technology and applications of hydroponics. It contains an overview of the relevance of aquaponics in the fulfillment of the SDGs.
