In an era of rapid technological development, traditional agriculture is quietly undergoing a green revolution, and soilless cultivation stands out with its unique charm.
Soilless cultivation, as the name suggests, is a new type of cultivation method that allows plants to grow without soil. It breaks the constraints of soil on crop growth for thousands of years and opens up a new world for agriculture.
When you walk into the soilless greenhouse, the first thing that catches your eye is the neat rows of cultivation racks with lush plants growing on them. Without the shackles of soil, the entire space looks exceptionally clean and tidy. Here, the roots of plants are not rooted in the soil, but suspended in nutrient solution, or grow in other special substrates. The nutrient solution is like a "special delicacy" for plants, providing them with all the nutrients they need for growth, accurately and efficiently.
Soilless cultivation has many advantages. On the one hand, it greatly improves land utilization. In a limited space, three-dimensional planting can be achieved through multi-layer cultivation racks, which greatly increases the yield per unit area. On the other hand, soilless cultivation can effectively control the occurrence of pests and diseases. Without soil, a breeding ground for pests and diseases, coupled with strict environmental control, plants can grow more healthily. At the same time, soilless cultivation can also save water. The nutrient solution can be recycled, reducing the waste of water resources, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development.
Soilless cultivation has also brought new opportunities for the development of urban agriculture. Using roofs, balconies and other spaces between high-rise buildings in the city for soilless cultivation allows urban residents to get close to agriculture and enjoy the fun of planting, while also adding a touch of green to the city.
Soilless cultivation is a bold innovation in modern agriculture
