Hydroponics GAT An Introduction To Hydroponic Gardening | Page 5

 Better yields
 Unlike other types of farming, hydroponic farming has better yields
for all farmers. This is because plants are tended with great care and
furthermore, they are given optimum conditions to grow. This enables
farmers to benefit fully from the plants that they are planting. Since
you can manipulate elements and minerals that your plants consume,
you can be able to get your plants to grow with the optimum
conditions. Also, the plants are put in portable containers that can be
moved to the sunlight with ease. Such variables enable one to get the
best yields possible.
 Easier disease and pest control
 With hydroponic farming, there is easier disease and pest control.
This is because; you can add insecticides and pesticides in the water
and thereby kill pests that affect your crops. Also, you can be able to
control pests by manipulating the environment where you place your
plants. Hydroponic plants are grown on portable containers which
can be moved from one place to another. Also, they can be grown
inside greenhouses where pests can easily be controlled.
