Hydroponic Vegetable Production By CYF Hydroponics has often been thought of as the future of growing‚ what many people do not realize is that the concept has been around for a very long time and already has been applied to agriculture. Hydroponics is not just for flowers; in fact with its growing popularity in the past decade hydroponics has begun to be used for commercial vegetable production around the world.

Hydroponics: Growing Without Soil The science of growing plants without soil has been known and used for more than one-hundred years. The word “hydroponics”‚ however‚ is comparatively new. Dr. W.E. Gericke is usually given credit for coining the word‚ which translated from Greek‚ means “working water”. The famous hanging gardens of Babylon were probably on of the first attempts to grow plants hydroponically. The work of Dr. Greicke in the 1920’s and 1930’s

Deforestation Mitigation Strategies Tropical rainforests cover approximately thirty percent of the earth’s land area‚ around 2.5 million square miles‚ the size of the lower 48 states‚ despite the fact 80‚000 acres (32‚000) hectares are destroyed per day for economic reasons. Tropical rainforests are biodiversity hotspots. Rainforests are carbon sinks absorbing about half the carbon dioxide humans release into the atmosphere. Continued deforestation will affect the entire world with the ecological

Aero Hydroponics - The Method of the Future The aero-hydroponic method was developed in Israel in the early 1980’s. Dr. Hillel Soffer‚ senior researcher at the VoIcani Institute at Ein Gedi developed the aero-hydroponic method to overcome the challenges presented by the hot‚ arid conditions at Ein Gedi. The discoveries that followed the development of aero-hydroponics offer great benefits to all hydroponic growers. During a two-year period from 1986 to 1988‚ Dr. Soffer performed extensive research

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in air or mist environment without the use of soil. Not to be confused with hydroponics or peeponics‚ aeroponics is the process of spraying or fogging the roots of the plants with a nutrient solution. The plants are usually housed in troughs‚ tubes or foam‚ with the leafy part of the plants separate from the roots. Moreover‚ the roots are usually fully exposed and constantly sprayed with micro bursts of atomized water. Why aeroponics are used? Since

The aim of my project is to give an introduction to the problem of deforestation. In my essay I am going to explain why it is global issue‚ to talk about some

Deforestation Carolyn Hurford 2nd Hour 4/1/13 “Deforestation is clearing Earth ’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year.” said by National Geographic. People only think of themselves when demolishing a forest‚ but they don ’t really think of themselves and certainly not all the animals that need to survive in forests. If only 30%

October 2014 Detriment of Deforestation Image a planet without trees. This is a scary planet where the temperature is very hot and the air is very difficult to breathe. This planet will have nothing to protect people from the sun‚ nothing to slowdown the forces of the wind‚ and nothing to anchor topsoil from eroding in the rain. The conditions at this imaginary planet can become our reality on earth if we do not stop deforestation. There are many negative effects of deforestation. However‚ for the scope

Modern-Day Plague Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Forests are cut down for many reasons‚ but most of them are related to money or to people’s need to provide for their families.The biggest
