As a result of his work, water culture became a popular research technique. In 1699, <a href="/wiki/John_Woodward_(naturalist)" title="John Woodward (naturalist)">John Woodward</a> published his water culture experiments with <a href="/wiki/Spearmint" title="Spearmint">spearmint</a>. He found that plants in less-pure water sources grew better than plants in distilled water. By 1842, a list of nine elements believed to be essential for plant growth had been compiled, and the discoveries of German botanists <a href="/wiki/Julius_von_Sachs" title="Julius von Sachs">Julius von Sachs</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_Knop" title="Wilhelm Knop">Wilhelm Knop</a>, in the years 1859–1875, resulted in a development of the technique of soilless cultivation.<a href="#cite_note-:0-13">[13]</a> To quote von Sachs directly: "In the year 1860, I published the results of experiments which demonstrated that <a href="/wiki/Embryophyte" title="Embryophyte">land plants</a> are capable of absorbing their nutritive matters out of watery solutions, without the aid of soil, and that it is possible in this way not only to maintain plants alive and growing for a long time, as had long been known, but also to bring about a vigorous increase of their organic substance, and even the production of seed capable of <a href="/wiki/Germination" title="Germination">germination</a>."<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> Growth of terrestrial plants without soil in mineral nutrient solutions was later called "solution culture" in reference to "soil culture".

Gericke created a sensation by growing tomato vines twenty-five feet (7.6 metres) high in his backyard in mineral nutrient solutions rather than soil.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> He then introduced the term Hydroponics, water culture, in 1937, proposed to him by <a href="https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Albert_Setchell" class="extiw" title="es:William Albert Setchell">W.

Gericke had been denied use of the university's <a href="/wiki/Greenhouse" title="Greenhouse">greenhouses</a> for his experiments due to the administration's skepticism, and when the university tried to compel him to release his preliminary nutrient recipes developed at home, he requested greenhouse space and time to improve them using appropriate research facilities. While he was eventually provided greenhouse space, the university assigned <a href="/wiki/Dennis_Robert_Hoagland" title="Dennis Robert Hoagland">Hoagland</a> and <a href="/wiki/Daniel_I._Arnon" title="Daniel I. Arnon">Arnon</a> to re-evaluate Gericke's claims and show his formula held no benefit over soil grown plant yields, a view held by Hoagland. Because of these irreconcilable conflicts, Gericke left his academic position in 1937 in a climate that was politically unfavorable and continued his research independently in his greenhouse. In 1940, Gericke, whose work is considered to be the basis for all forms of hydroponic growing, published the book, Complete Guide to Soilless Gardening. Therein, for the first time, he published his basic formulas involving the macro- and micronutrient salts for hydroponically-grown plants.<a href="#cite_note-Gericke-27">[27]</a> As a result of research of Gericke's claims by order of the Director of the California Agricultural Experiment Station of the <a href="/wiki/University_of_California,_Berkeley" title="University of California, Berkeley">University of California</a>, <a href="/wiki/Claude_B._Hutchison" title="Claude B. Hutchison">Claude Hutchison</a>, Dennis Hoagland and <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Arnon" class="mw-redirect" title="Daniel Arnon">Daniel Arnon</a> wrote a classic 1938 agricultural bulletin, The Water Culture Method for Growing Plants Without Soil, one of the most important works on solution culture ever, which made the claim that hydroponic <a href="/wiki/Crop_yield" title="Crop yield">crop yields</a> were no better than crop yields obtained with good-quality soils.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> Ultimately, crop yields would be limited by factors other than mineral nutrients, especially light and aeration of the culture medium.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> However, in the introduction to his landmark book on soilless cultivation, published two years later, Gericke pointed out that the results published by Hoagland and Arnon in comparing the yields of experimental plants in sand, soil and solution cultures, were based on several <a href="/wiki/Observational_error" title="Observational error">systemic errors</a> ("...these experimenters have made the mistake of limiting the productive capacity of hydroponics to that of soil. Comparison can be only by growing as great a number of plants in each case as the fertility of the culture medium can support").<a href="#cite_note-Gericke-27">[27]</a> For example, the Hoagland and Arnon study did not adequately appreciate that hydroponics has other key benefits compared to soil culture including the fact that the roots of the plant have constant access to <a href="/wiki/Oxygen" title="Oxygen">oxygen</a> and that the plants have access to as much or as little water and nutrients as they need.<a href="#cite_note-Gericke-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> This is important as one of the most common errors when cultivating plants is over- and underwatering; hydroponics prevents this from occurring as large amounts of water, which may drown root systems in soil, can be made available to the plant in hydroponics, and any water not used, is drained away, recirculated, or actively aerated, eliminating <a href="/wiki/Anoxic_waters" title="Anoxic waters">anoxic</a> conditions in the root area. In soil, a grower needs to be very experienced to know exactly how much water to feed the plant. Too much and the plant will be unable to access oxygen because <a href="/wiki/Soil_gas" title="Soil gas">air</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Pore_space_in_soil" title="Pore space in soil">soil pores</a> is displaced, which can lead to <a href="/wiki/Root_rot" title="Root rot">root rot</a>; too little and the plant will undergo <a href="/wiki/Moisture_stress" title="Moisture stress">water stress</a> or lose the ability to <a href="/wiki/Active_transport" title="Active transport">absorb</a> nutrients, which are typically moved into the roots while <a href="/wiki/Solvation" title="Solvation">dissolved</a>, leading to nutrient deficiency symptoms such as <a href="/wiki/Chlorosis" title="Chlorosis">chlorosis</a> or <a href="/wiki/Fertilizer_burn" title="Fertilizer burn">fertilizer burn</a>. Eventually, Gericke's advanced ideas led to the implementation of hydroponics into commercial agriculture while Hoagland's views and helpful support by the University prompted <a href="/wiki/Dennis_Robert_Hoagland#Bibliography" title="Dennis Robert Hoagland">Hoagland and his associates</a> to develop several new formulas (recipes) for mineral nutrient solutions, universally known as <a href="/wiki/Hoagland_solution" title="Hoagland solution">Hoagland solution</a>.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> One of the earliest successes of hydroponics occurred on <a href="/wiki/Wake_Island" title="Wake Island">Wake Island</a>, a rocky atoll in the Pacific Ocean used as a refueling stop for <a href="/wiki/Pan_American_Airlines" class="mw-redirect" title="Pan American Airlines">Pan American Airlines</a>.

It is much easier to automate than the static solution culture because sampling and adjustments to the temperature, pH, and nutrient concentrations can be made in a large storage tank that has potential to serve thousands of plants. A popular variation is the <a href="/wiki/Nutrient_film_technique" title="Nutrient film technique">nutrient film technique</a> or NFT, whereby a very shallow stream of water containing all the dissolved nutrients required for plant growth is recirculated in a thin layer past a bare root mat of plants in a watertight channel, with an upper surface exposed to air. As a consequence, an abundant supply of oxygen is provided to the roots of the plants. A properly designed NFT system is based on using the right channel slope, the right flow rate, and the right channel length. The main advantage of the NFT system over other forms of hydroponics is that the plant roots are exposed to adequate supplies of water, oxygen, and nutrients. In all other forms of production, there is a conflict between the supply of these requirements, since excessive or deficient amounts of one results in an imbalance of one or both of the others. NFT, because of its design, provides a system where all three requirements for healthy plant growth can be met at the same time, provided that the simple concept of NFT is always remembered and practised. The result of these advantages is that higher yields of high-quality produce are obtained over an extended period of cropping. A downside of NFT is that it has very little buffering against interruptions in the flow (e.g., power outages). But, overall, it is probably one of the more productive techniques.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> The same design characteristics apply to all conventional NFT systems. While slopes along channels of 1:100 have been recommended, in practice it is difficult to build a base for channels that is sufficiently true to enable nutrient films to flow without ponding in locally depressed areas. As a consequence, it is recommended that slopes of 1:30 to 1:40 are used.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> This allows for minor irregularities in the surface, but, even with these slopes, ponding and <a href="/wiki/Waterlogging_(agriculture)" title="Waterlogging (agriculture)">water logging</a> may occur. The slope may be provided by the floor, benches or racks may hold the channels and provide the required slope. Both methods are used and depend on local requirements, often determined by the site and crop requirements. As a general guide, flow rates for each gully should be one liter per minute.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vagueness" title="Wikipedia:Vagueness">vague</a>]<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> At planting, rates may be half this and the upper limit of 2 L/min appears about the maximum. Flow rates beyond these extremes are often associated with nutritional problems. Depressed growth rates of many crops have been observed when channels exceed 12 meters in length. On rapidly growing crops, tests have indicated that, while oxygen levels remain adequate, nitrogen may be depleted over the length of the gully. As a consequence, channel length should not exceed 10–15 meters. In situations where this is not possible, the reductions in growth can be eliminated by placing another nutrient feed halfway along the gully and halving the flow rates through each outlet.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a><a href="#cite_note-taylorfrancis.com-4">[4]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Aeroponics">Aeroponics</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Hydroponics&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Aeroponics">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Aeroponics" title="Aeroponics">Aeroponics</a></div> <a href="/wiki/Aeroponics" title="Aeroponics">Aeroponics</a> is a system wherein roots are continuously or discontinuously kept in an environment saturated with fine drops (a <a href="/wiki/Mist" title="Mist">mist</a> or <a href="/wiki/Aerosol" title="Aerosol">aerosol</a>) of nutrient solution.

While deep water culture involves the plant roots hanging down into a reservoir of nutrient solution, in top-fed deep water culture the solution is pumped from the reservoir up to the roots (top feeding). The water is released over the plant's roots and then runs back into the reservoir below in a constantly recirculating system. As with deep water culture, there is an <a href="/wiki/Airstone" title="Airstone">airstone</a> in the reservoir that pumps air into the water via a hose from outside the reservoir. The airstone helps add oxygen to the water. Both the airstone and the water pump run 24 hours a day. The biggest advantage of top-fed deep water culture over standard deep water culture is increased growth during the first few weeks.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] With deep water culture, there is a time when the roots have not reached the water yet.

Rock wool is an inert substrate suitable for both run-to-waste and recirculating systems. Rock wool is made from molten rock, basalt or 'slag' that is spun into bundles of single filament fibres, and bonded into a medium capable of capillary action, and is, in effect, protected from most common microbiological degradation. Rock wool is typically used only for the seedling stage, or with newly cut clones, but can remain with the plant base for its lifetime. Rock wool has many advantages and some disadvantages. The latter being the possible skin irritancy (mechanical) whilst handling (1:1000).[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Flushing with cold water usually brings relief.

The clay is formed into round pellets and fired in rotary <a href="/wiki/Kiln" title="Kiln">kilns</a> at 1,200 °C (2,190 °F). This causes the clay to expand, like popcorn, and become porous. It is light in weight, and does not compact over time. The shape of an individual pellet can be irregular or uniform depending on brand and manufacturing process.

The outer husk of a coconut consists of fibers which are commonly used to make a myriad of items ranging from floor mats to brushes. After the long fibers are used for those applications, the dust and short fibers are merged to create coir. Coconuts absorb high levels of nutrients throughout their life cycle, so the coir must undergo a maturation process before it becomes a viable growth medium.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> This process removes salt, tannins and phenolic compounds through substantial water washing. Contaminated water is a byproduct of this process, as three hundred to six hundred liters of water per one cubic meter of coir are needed.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> Additionally, this maturation can take up to six months and one study concluded the working conditions during the maturation process are dangerous and would be illegal in North America and Europe.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> Despite requiring attention, posing health risks and environmental impacts, coconut coir has impressive material properties. When exposed to water, the brown, dry, chunky and fibrous material expands nearly three or four times its original size.

For example, <a href="/wiki/Compost" title="Compost">composted</a> <a href="/wiki/Conifer" title="Conifer">pine</a> bark is high in <a href="/wiki/Manganese" title="Manganese">manganese</a> and is sometimes used to fulfill that mineral requirement in hydroponic solutions.<a href="#cite_note-Jones-71">[71]</a> To satisfy requirements for <a href="/wiki/National_Organic_Program" title="National Organic Program">National Organic Programs</a>, pulverized, unrefined <a href="/wiki/Mineral" title="Mineral">minerals</a> (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Gypsum" title="Gypsum">Gypsum</a>, <a href="/wiki/Calcite" title="Calcite">Calcite</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Glauconite" title="Glauconite">glauconite</a>) can also be added to satisfy a plant's nutritional needs. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Additives">Additives</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Hydroponics&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Additives">edit</a>]</div> Compounds can be added in both organic and conventional hydroponic systems to improve nutrition acquisition and uptake by the plant. Chelating agents and humic acid have been shown to increase nutrient uptake.<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a><a href="#cite_note-Jones-71">[71]</a> Additionally, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which are regularly utilized in field and greenhouse agriculture, have been shown to benefit hydroponic plant growth development and nutrient acquisition.<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a> Some PGPR are known to increase nitrogen fixation. While nitrogen is generally abundant in hydroponic systems with properly maintained fertilizer regimens, Azospirillum and Azotobacter genera can help maintain mobilized forms of nitrogen in systems with higher microbial growth in the rhizosphere.<a href="#cite_note-:5-86">[86]</a> Traditional fertilizer methods often lead to high accumulated concentrations of nitrate within plant tissue at harvest. Rhodopseudo-monas palustris has been shown to increase nitrogen use efficiency, increase yield, and decrease nitrate concentration by 88% at harvest compared to traditional hydroponic fertilizer methods in leafy greens.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> Many Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Streptomyces spp. convert forms of phosphorus in the soil that are unavailable to the plant into soluble anions by decreasing soil pH, releasing phosphorus bound in chelated form that is available in a wider pH range, and mineralizing organic phosphorus.<a href="#cite_note-:5-86">[86]</a> Some studies have found that Bacillus inoculants allow hydroponic leaf lettuce to overcome high salt stress that would otherwise reduce growth.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> This can be especially beneficial in regions with high electrical conductivity or salt content in their water source. This could potentially avoid costly reverse osmosis filtration systems while maintaining high crop yield. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tools">Tools</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Hydroponics&action=edit&section=36" title="Edit section: Tools">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Common_equipment">Common equipment</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Hydroponics&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: Common equipment">edit</a>]</div> Managing nutrient concentrations, oxygen saturation, and pH values within acceptable ranges is essential for successful hydroponic <a href="/wiki/Horticulture" title="Horticulture">horticulture</a>.

The free and open source tools HydroBuddy<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> and HydroCal<a href="#cite_note-91">[91]</a> have been created by professional chemists to help any hydroponics grower prepare their own nutrient solutions. The first program is available for Windows, Mac and Linux while the second one can be used through a simple JavaScript interface. Both programs allow for basic nutrient solution preparation although HydroBuddy provides added functionality to use and save custom substances, save formulations and predict electrical conductivity values. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mixing_solutions">Mixing solutions</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Hydroponics&action=edit&section=40" title="Edit section: Mixing solutions">edit</a>]</div> Often mixing hydroponic solutions using individual salts is impractical for hobbyists or small-scale commercial growers because commercial products are available at reasonable prices. However, even when buying commercial products, multi-component fertilizers are popular. Often these products are bought as three part formulas which emphasize certain nutritional roles. For example, solutions for vegetative growth (i.e. high in nitrogen), flowering (i.e. high in potassium and phosphorus), and micronutrient solutions (i.e. with trace minerals) are popular. The timing and application of these multi-part fertilizers should coincide with a plant's growth stage. For example, at the end of an <a href="/wiki/Annual_plant" title="Annual plant">annual plant</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Biological_life_cycle" title="Biological life cycle">life cycle</a>, a plant should be restricted from high nitrogen fertilizers. In most plants, nitrogen restriction inhibits vegetative growth and helps <a href="/wiki/Flowering_transition" class="mw-redirect" title="Flowering transition">induce flowering</a>.<a
