Instead of growing the vegetables/fruits in soil, when we grow
plants either through soilless chambers or in a neutral medium
like coconut coir, cocopeat, perlite, rockwool, expanded clay to
hold roots of plants and dissolve all required nutrients in water
and provide directly to plant, said method of growing is called
Hydroponic farming.
These growing systems/mediums are susceptible to climatic
conditions, hence we typically grow the plants in polyhouses
with certain/complete climate control, hence depending on
level of control we also classify our farms as “Protected
Cultivation” to “Controlled Environment Agriculture”.
