Growing vegetables without soil

Description: In aeroponics method: trees are fixed in space and nutrient solution is directly sprayed into the roots. Because the roots are fixed in space, they must be maximum "breathable", in addition atomizing nutrient solution will make the roots had a lower temperature than the environment and the body’s temperatures (due to evaporation effect). Therefore, the plants will grow faster than other methods. The excessive nutrient solution will be collected and filtered for reuse, thus saving a large amount of water and nutrients.

Through experimenting on all kinds of broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, spinach ... has been grown in greenhouses by aeroponics method, the researchers get an result that the aeroponics method bring out an yield twice as much as normal planting method in the same area; growth of plants is increasing 2.5 times, saving over 70% the amount of water. Thus, the profit in average  is usually increasing twice or over, not including it has many more harvests in the same period of time. If do not grow in greenhouses but grow under the scrim, the profit will be higher.

Some other researching results show that cause of vegetable is contactless planted with soil so it hadn’t been attacked by pest. If they are grown in greenhouses, then the penetration of the pet from external environment is minimized. So in the process of care, hardly having to use chemicals, pesticides ... agricultural additives. Vegetable harvest of fresh vegetables standards. Especially the vegetables could be planted off-season but the crop’s yield is still high.

  Results of this research is implemented in pilot at Truong Sa island now.
