dc.description.abstract | In the early 1930s an American Professor, Dr. Wiffiam Gericke, of the University of California attempted to transform laboratory-style soilless cultivation into practical terms. Taking advantage of the sunny Californian climate, he set out-of-door growing units. He had considerable success and he proceeded to name the new garden science hydroponics. With the publication of the results of these tests, the use of hydroponics spread across most parts of the world. Hydroponics is generally defined as the science of growing plants without using soil feeding them instead on solutions of water and mineral salts, rather than relying upon the traditional methods. However; hydroponics has been employed in numerous ways and in different forms. An immense amount of scientific research has been undertaken to develop really simple and practical ways of growing plants without soil. | en_GB |
