In 1996, NASA began investing in the analysis of Richard Stoner, the man who originally patented the microchip that initially fabricated the automated watering of aeroponically developed plants possible. At the time, he was busy researching on a way to cultivate plants aeroponically without pesticides that are sometimes all-important to reduce harmful microorganisms through application of liquid biocontrol. A year later, NASA was assuming its own tests for biocontrol. Tests were conducted on growth cycle on the MIR space Station, the Kennedy space Center, and Colorado State University.
Hydroponics is a technique by which plants are grown without soil, in a medium enriched with nutrient solution. In place of soil you can use a nutrient solution which is prepared by dissolving the nutrients in water. The nutrient solution gives your plants the nutrients that they would otherwise derive from soil. It is an easy and convenient method for growers and allows you to effectively increase yield.
