Soilless cultivation is a method of growing plants without the use of soil. Instead, it utilizes alternative growing mediums such as hydroponics, aeroponics, or substrates like coconut coir and rock wool. This technique allows for better control over nutrients and water, leading to faster plant growth and higher yields.
In soilless systems, plants receive essential nutrients directly through water solutions, which can be tailored to their specific needs. This method is often used in greenhouses and urban farming, making it possible to grow crops in areas with poor soil quality or limited space, while also reducing the risk of soil-borne diseases.
