The Aeroponics system is gaining maximum popularity as plants grow up to 45% faster than in traditional in-soil farming methods and plants yield cleaner, safer, tastier, and more aromatic produce.
There are several seed production techniques that are currently used worldwide such as tissue culture, hydroponics and aeroponics. Among these techniques, aeroponics is one of the most effective techniques because of its perceived numerous advantages over these other techniques. The technology is based on the concept that it uses no soil and grows the root systems in the air.
Benefits of seed Production by Aeroponics:
The vertical Aeroponics growing system is a game changer for the farmers and the commercial plant growing industry. Air grown system benefits include:
- 100% ensure of availability of seed
- Save money and transportation
- International mileage
- Carbon food chain reduces food mileage
- Greater yield, Superior taste & ease of harvest
- Eco- friendly
- Organic certification relatively easy
- Aeroponics can significantly increase income or reduce the production costs of quality seed to make it more accessible to growers
Special features of Aeroponics technology for seed production:
- Aeroponics is a relatively new technique, especially for seed production.
- Potato seed production can be increased dramatically in the greenhouse.
- Aeroponics production is particularly sensitive to climate.
- Sequential harvests are needed.
- The vegetative period of plants is increased in 1 to 2 months.
- Minimized use of nutrients and water due to recycling capability.
- Independence from local land and climate conditions when grown in the controlled environment of a greenhouse.
- The initial investment can be recovered rapidly.
- Aeroponics can significantly increase income or reduce the production costs of quality potato seed to make it more accessible to growers.
