Aeroponics is an alternative method of cultivating plants devoid of soil, in which nutrient-rich solution is consistently misted over the suspended roots in the air. In contrast to hydroponics, wherein the roots are submerged in water, aeroponics supplies nutrients directly to the roots via a sprinkling system.

Increased oxygen levels around the roots are made possible by this technique, which promotes rapid and efficient growth. Plants are commonly positioned within an aeroponic system within a chamber or container, allowing for unrestricted root drooping.

At regular intervals, a compressor and misting nozzles spray a fine mist of water and nutrients onto the roots. As a result of being exposed to the air, the roots are better able to assimilate oxygen, which is advantageous for plant development.

Aeroponics is renowned for its capacity to generate substantial harvests within a comparatively limited area, in addition to its effective utilization of water and nutrients. It finds frequent application in controlled environment agricultural environments, including indoor growing facilities, greenhouses, and vertical farms.

Particularly beneficial for cultivating crops in environments with poor soil quality or limited space is this technique. .
