Greenhouse hydroponic technology and its applicable plants

Greenhouse hydroponics is a modern agricultural technology that nourishes plants by using nutrient solutions instead of soil. Here are several common greenhouse hydroponics technologies and the types of plants they are suitable for:

Deep Liquid Flow Technology (DFT)

Deep liquid flow technology is suitable for facility agriculture such as plant factories and greenhouses built earlier. It allows the roots of plants to be partially immersed in the nutrient solution and partially exposed to the air, which helps to solve the water-gas contradiction of the roots. This technology is suitable for the cultivation of almost all fruit and vegetable and leafy vegetables, but not for root and tuber crops.

Nutrient Film Technology (NFT)

Nutrient film technology is suitable for new plant factories that have been built. It provides nutrients and water to plants through the circulation of shallow nutrient solution, and is suitable for the cultivation of leafy vegetables, herbaceous plants, etc. This technology can realize the automated management of the production process, but it has strict technical requirements.

Floating Plate Capillary Cultivation Technology (FCH)

Floating Plate Capillary Cultivation Technology is suitable for soilless cultivation systems. It improves the oxygen supply conditions of the root system by creating a humid environment and abundant oxygen supply. This technology is suitable for growing plants that require a lot of oxygen, such as some leafy vegetables and herbs.

Aeroponics

Aeroponics is suitable for plants that require high air humidity, such as strawberries and lettuce. It uses a spray device to atomize the nutrient solution and spray it on the plant roots to achieve the plant's absorption of nutrients.

Substrate cultivation

Substrate cultivation is suitable for vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers. It is planted using equipment such as Dutch barrels, substrate bags, and strawberry troughs.

Vertical cultivation mode

The vertical cultivation mode is suitable for planting in places with limited space such as cities and factories. It can effectively utilize space resources and improve planting efficiency. This mode is suitable for growing a variety of plants in greenhouses, including leafy vegetables, herbs, etc.

In summary, different greenhouse hydroponic technologies are suitable for different types of plants. Choosing the right technology can improve the growth efficiency and yield of plants.
