Explore soilless agriculture with Dr. Gaia Moretti’s insightful presentation on hydroponic systems. This informative session, conducted as the first of a series of five workshops/lessons organised by our partner UNIBO, introduces the basic principles and various applications of hydroponics. Dr. Moretti discusses the advantages of hydroponic systems over traditional soil-based cultivation, including higher yield potentials, lower water usage, and reduced need for pesticides. The presentation also covers different hydroponic setups such as NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) and DWC (Deep Water Culture) and explains the importance of system components like fertigation and climate control systems. Ideal for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in sustainable agricultural practices, this presentation provides a solid foundation in hydroponic systems, encouraging further exploration into soilless crop production.
