Soilless Cultivation
Soilless culture was very mature in recent years, which means that no soil is used and all nutrients come from nutrient solution, so it is also called nutrient solution cultivation. At the same time, soilless culture can also be divided into hydroponics and substrate culture. At present, this revolutionary technology has been widely used around the world, and even in desert areas. Soilless culture is applicable to flowers and vegetables and is very practical. What are the advantages of soilless culture?
1. Reduce labor intensity: soilless cultivation does not need soil, so there is no need to change soil frequently and allocate nutrient soil, no need to remove weeds, and there are fewer diseases and pests. The management is simple too.
2. Maximizing nutrient utilization: In traditional floriculture, the loss of nutrient is relatively large, generally more than 50%. This is because fertilizer may be converted into substances that cannot be directly absorbed by crops in the soil, and some may be lost or volatilized with water. Flowers soilless culture only need to add nutrient solution according to their different quality. The nutrient solution is usually stored in a container, and the loss will not exceed 10% at most.
3. Not limited by land area: traditional floriculture needs high-quality soil while the crops can be cultivated in any space in soilless culture.
4. No pollution and few diseases: traditional cultivation requires a large amount of organic fertilizer. Soilless cultivation needs chemical fertilizers, which are odorless and tasteless. Flowers and plants do not contact with the soil directly, rarely suffer from diseases and insect pests, and pesticides are basically not used to avoid pesticide pollution of the environment.
5. Higher quality: Flowers soilless culture solves the problem of imbalance in the supply of water, fertilizer and gas in flower roots, which made flowers grow better.
There are many flowers suitable for soilless cultivation, such as narcissus, lily, gerbera, evergreen, mimosa, cactus, etc. With the development of science and technology, farmers can not only use machines, but also use computer remote control, realizing agriculture industrialization, standardization and automation.
Any thoughts and questions will be appreciated!!!
