Benefits of Hydroponics:

Benefits of New World Hydroponics: Introduction

• Save Water.
• Increased Yields - more product is grown and harvested per metre square
• Improved Quality of Yields - more nutritionally sound and therefore tastes superior
• Increased turnover of produce - crops grow faster and more often
• Complete control over nutrient balance - controlled growing creates a healthier crop
• Reduced production costs - less water - less power
• Crops can be grown and harvested on non-arable lands
• Crops can be grown and harvested indoors 24/7
• Crops can be grown in even the most extreme areas
• Huge Social and Economic benefits
• Non GM
• New World systems use little of no growing medium
• Closed recirculation irrigation system conserves water
• Feeding system enables total control of the nutrient solution added to crops
• Plants receive the exact nutrients they require
• Only soluble nutrients in balanced formulations are used
• Still bourne diseases can be eliminated
• Varying nutrient formulae to suit different plants at different stages
• Regular nutrient testing ensures all elements are present in their desired concentration
• Growing medium can be re-used and recycled
• Minimises the use of pesticides due to the controlled environment
• Efficient use of fertilizers
• Improved plant sanitation
• Nutrient solutions may be re-used in other areas
• Eliminates use and consumption of artificial ripening agents
• Allows full control of all the parameters of the nutritive elements in order to obtain the best cultivation results
• pH and nutrient levels are simple to measure and maintain
• significant reduction of soil pests and diseases
• greater spacing efficiency due to smaller roots
