Establish hydroponic unit using wick-based, Deep Water Culture (DWC) and Nutrient Film Technique (NFT). Explain.

  • 1

In the wick method, a cloth wick delivers nutrients to the plant. DWC keeps roots in oxygenated water. NFT circulates nutrient solution in a thin film, keeping roots moist but not submerged fully.

  1. Wick-based hydroponics uses a cotton wick from nutrient solution to plant roots. DWC suspends plant roots in nutrient-rich, aerated water using an air pump. NFT runs a thin film of nutrient solution along plant roots in channels. All three systems support soilless growth and use minimal water, with NFT being more efficient but complex. These setups help in faster plant growth and space-saving farming.
