Benefits & Challenges

Aeroponics Benefits

Higher Yield: Aeroponic systems often produce higher yields due to increased oxygen availability to the roots, promoting faster plant growth.

Water Efficiency: Aeroponics uses significantly less water than traditional farming methods. The misting system reduces water consumption by up to 90%.

Space Efficiency: Aeroponic systems can be designed vertically, allowing for more plants to be grown in a smaller footprint, making it suitable for urban environments.

Reduced Risk of Disease: The absence of soil minimizes the risk of soil-borne diseases and pests, leading to healthier plants.

Faster Growth Rates: Plants in aeroponic systems can grow up to 30% faster than those in soil due to optimal nutrient and oxygen availability.

Less Labor Intensive: Aeroponic systems require less labor due to automation, reducing the need for manual maintenance and harvesting.

Potatoes in Aeroponics

Aeroponics challenges

The grower must have the information about the appropriate quantity of required nutrient for plant growth in the system

It is important to supply the required concentration of the nutrients. There is no any solid culture to absorb the excess nutrients if supply excess plant will die

The system design material is little expensive. As the well-designed system requires advanced equipment. It mainly constant high-pressure pumps, atomization nozzles, EC, and pH measuring devices, temperature, light intensity and humidity sensors and timer to control the system

Expensive for long scale production
