| 1 | Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants using a water-based nutrient solution rather than soil, and can include an aggregate substrate, or growing media, such as vermiculite, coconut coir, or perlite etc. Hydroponic production systems are used by small farmers, hobbyists, and commercial enterprises. Hydroponics was a successful technique used to supply fresh vegetables in many countries and has been considered as the future of farming to grow foods for astronauts in space by NASA. Hydroponics enables urban farming in the sense that it can be used to cultivate plants on roofs and even in bedrooms. | |
| 2 | Hydroponic production system has been identified as one of the priority subjects under Standards National Action Plan 2022-27 developed after multiple stakeholder consultation. Considering the above, this National Standard for Hydroponic Farming Production system has been taken up for development in order to provide required guidance to the farming community and all concerned stakeholders. This standard will provide recommendations on requirements for substrates, structures, nutrients, maintenance and also the basis for development of conformity assessment scheme in future in order to evaluate the hydroponic farming production system. | |
| 3 | This standard covers the guideline for operation of hydroponic systems including requirements of substrates, nutrient solution and structure design. | |
