What is Aquaponics?

Aquaponics is a hydroponic growing technique that maintains plants’ roots by dangling them into nutrient and oxygen-rich water. Utilizing a controlled environment hydroponic system, the roots are exposed to everything they need to feed the plant. This includes the proper amount of oxygen and ideal temperature conditions, so you can achieve optimal growth and production of healthy crops.

Hydronov’s indoor floating raft technology typically grows plants in a rectangular reservoir one foot deep. By submerging crops “deep” underwater, farmers achieve the best environmental growing conditions for plants.

Traditional growing methods require more soil and water usage with varying results depending on the growing season. Utilizing floating raft technology, deep water culture improves the growth, flavor, nutritional value, and ease of agricultural development while reducing excess waste, soil usage, or reliance on chemical pesticides.
