“Progressive Plant Growing Is a Blooming Business”
Categories: Scholarly ResearchNational Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA.gov. March 23, 2007. NASA plant growing experiments have demonstrated that plants can grow without soil and with very little water. Aeroponic systems grow plants in an air/mist environment, developing healthy root systems with nutrient-rich spray. These systems can reduce water usage by 98%, fertilizer usage by 60%, and pesticide… Read more

“Influence of Aeroponic System on Growth and Yield Parameters of V-1 Mulberry”
G. A. Nishchitha, et al. 2023. International Journal of Environment and Climate Change 13(5): 290-300. EXCERPT: “It can be inferred that the aeroponic system enhance the rates of plants growth by promoting the root aeration because the root system is totally suspended in the air, giving the plant stem and roots system access to 100%… Read more

“Approaches for Sustainable Production of Soybeans Under Current Climate Change Condition”
Categories: Scholarly ResearchSohail Ahmad Jan and Aiman Fatima. 2023. MedCrave Online Journal of Biology and Medicine: 8(1). EXCERPT: “Aeroponics is a great approach for crop production. The process is carried out in completely controlled conditions. Plants are placed in growth chamber/ area, and mist of nutrient solution is provided. This process does not use soil, but the… Read more

“Yield, Characterization, and Possible Exploitation of Cannabis Sativa L. Roots Grown under Aeroponics Cultivation”
Fabbio Ferrini, et al. 2021. Molecules 26(16): 4889. ABSTRACT: “Cannabis sativa L. has been used for a long time to obtain food, fiber, and as a medicinal and psychoactive plant. Today, the nutraceutical potential of C. sativa is being increasingly reappraised; however, C. sativa roots remain poorly studied, despite citations in the scientific literature. In this direction, we identified and quantified… Read more

Grow Cannabis With Healthy Roots – Oxygen can be a limiting factor in the root zone by Ed Rosenthal
“Cannabis plants are dependent on their environment for materials and energy. These key inputs, known as the limiting factors, drive photosynthesis and therefore plant growth. As outlined in the Marijuana Grower’s Handbook, the limiting factors are light, carbon dioxide, nutrients, water, and temperature. Through my work to update the book, which is now the Cannabis… Read more

“Getting to the Roots of Aeroponic Indoor Farming”
Categories: Scholarly ResearchBethany M. Eldridge, et al. 2020. New Phytologist 228(4): 1183-1192. ABSTRACT: “Vertical farming is a type of indoor agriculture where plants are cultivated in stacked systems. It forms a rapidly growing sector with new emerging technologies. Indoor farms often use soil-free techniques such as hydroponics and aeroponics. Aeroponics involves the application to roots of a… Read more

“Monitoring and Control Systems in Agriculture Using Intelligent Sensor Techniques: A Review of the Aeroponic System”
Categories: Scholarly ResearchImran Ali Lakhiar, et al. Hindawi: Journal of Sensors 2018. Article ID 8672769. ABSTRACT: “In recent years, intelligent sensor techniques have achieved significant attention in agriculture. It is applied in agriculture to plan the several activities and missions properly by utilising limited resources with minor human interference. Currently, plant cultivation using new agriculture methods is… Read more
