Soil-less Cultivation Technique

Soil-less agriculture does not require the use of toxic chemicals. Unlike soil-based agriculture, where farmers have to use fertilisers to increase crop yield and spray pesticides to keep weeds and pests away, crops are somewhat protected from pests and weeds. Soil-less agriculture is ideal in urban areas where space is too limited for soil-based gardens. Nutrient and growing media loss is significantly reduced with soil-less cultivation because the nutrient requirements for crops are determined in advance. Soil-less cultivation is believed to cause less pollution. Compared to soil cultivation, the yields from soil-less cultivation are significantly higher as a result of intensive practices and the possibilities of continuous, year-round production.
