The roses
The roses are among the plants grown in the most absolute in the world, grow easily, but needs some attention.
First the water must be very abundant, the temperature is not excessive and the direct sunlight for six hours every day.
In the case of indoor cultivation lighting the formula recommended by lush flowering is the alternation of 12 hours of light to darkness with 12, and recommended an additional carbon dioxide.
To manage these factors is essential to implement a timer to automate operations.
Roses are subject to infestations: indoor cultivation and hydroponics eliminates several sources of trouble, whereas the earth is the ideal environment for proliferation of most of the creatures we would like to avoid having in our rose garden. This type of plant usually responds very positively to the soilless cultivation and is often grown in large-scale plants in bags of substrate (coir or rock wool). Read more ...

Will be held in September, an interesting seminar that combines a pleasant stay with the knowledge of hydroponics and new products, especially the innovative hydro-biological (or bioponici), which appeared recently on the market.
This proposed by General Hydroponics Europe the enchanting south west of France, which offers intense views and excellent cuisine.
Will be present as a speaker William Texier: Director of greenhouses, a chemist with particular knowledge in the field of plant nutrition, well-known expert with over twenty years of experience in the field, and the creator of bioponics. Read more ...

Italy is known, is the land of sun, fertile, by definition, the granary of the Roman Empire, a land of rich crops.
However, if these considerations might seem like a realistic time, today they sound improbable because of the changed climate and the limited space available for insecure and biological fields, also the market needs are becoming more pressing and competing with distributed low-end products at affordable prices necessitates a distinctive signal loud and clear, which may be identified without fail vegetables of superior quality, safety and reliability.

The whole world, undoubtedly, is concerned about the water.
Some do, and they are many, because it sees the possibility of income, some for pure environmental consciousness, who is not satisfied because of the characteristics of the locally distributed and is compelled to buy and carry, for your needs, and who, above all, why not and he never has had enough.
In certain areas of the world water is already a battleground between big companies and people, including adverse political factions, including whole ethnic groups chronically threatened by the scarcity of this precious element, between cold and interested people in government, often in the pay of efficient and well organized today's merchants.
The hydroponic business will be forced to grow: hard to say what times, and with what results, but will spread. Read more ...

When it comes to Hydroponic, perhaps with some "experts", is often remembered as it is a technique that is still untapped, especially in Italy, and what would be a useful resource enhancement offered by a system as efficient production.

The first step towards a correct approach to the concept of soil-is the spread of basic education, possibly combined direct experience: thus we can understand in a simple, natural and intuitive operation of systems that may seem on paper but Difficult which are based on simple physical laws and mechanisms well known.

And what place in the world is more suitable for a school to disclose information?

The Hydroponic thus becomes a subject of study associated with the School of Professional Villacidro State Institute for Agriculture and the Environment "Cettolini" of Cagliari, located about nine kilometers from the town, within a farm affected by various activities for economic and educational (cereals, olives, greenhouses, orchards, nurseries, forestry, gardening).

a new vision of hydroponics
of Noucetta Kehdi

The hydroponics has become in our days the current practice of cultivation, which farmers recognize the many benefits. Particularly affects the wealth and quality of crops, but also the positive action undertaken in the ecological field, thanks to an important saving water and fertilizer that this system allows, on our planet where water is becoming a rare commodity and the ' contaminated soil and groundwater is increasingly alarming. The technology then attracts the attention of growers who are considering, however, a recurring question: is organic hydroponics? In fact, it is not hydroponics, as such, which must be organic or not, because there is nothing more than a cultivation technique. Read more ...

During the last 20 years, advances in techniques of indoor cultivation have been so significant to develop the first prototypes created for industrial use hydroponic systems for the price and size of content, suitable even ordinary wine lovers who can safely use them on the balcony, to the porch, or at home in front of a window or under artificial light.
If space is available, it lacks the range of systems from the greenhouse, allowing for a rich, healthy and abundant crop, to be distributed among friends and acquaintances, or for resale. Read more ...

The electrical conductivity or EC, English acronym equivalent electric conductivity, is a key factor for proper development of plants in a hydroponic system automated.

The electrical conductivity (EC) of nutrient solution to water is expressed in siemens per centimeter (s / cm), millisimens per centimeter (ms / cm) or microsimens per centimeter (S / cm). Read more ...

roots in the system Nutriculture amazon

By the term "hydroponic" (from the greek cultivation in water) indicates an agronomic technique which excludes the contact of the roots with the ground.

Hydroponics ensures compared to traditional agriculture productions rich, lower cost, quality control, water conservation and respect for the environment.

And 'most common in countries like the Netherlands, working under strict rules to prevent pollution of groundwater, and if the application experiences their particular contexts: in polluted areas or radioactive (like Chernobyl), in the arid areas of 'Africa, the bases in Antarctica and in the aerospace missions.

The plants are born and grow even where there is no or uncultivable land, provided that you provide them with a balanced nutrient solution with a pH (acidity) suitable for the type of plant.
To provide for the functions of protection and anchorage of the roots from light are used inert materials, like clay, rockwool or perlite.

Through a system of gutters and rain gutter, the fertilized water is circulated so as to eliminate any waste, and although the layman it may seem a little money, it speaks to the reality of water supply halved.
