NFT is a hydroponic growth system that uses flat channels with nutrient flow - plants are planted in the form of thin films at the bottom of the channels. The NFT system can maintain maximum oxygen exposure and sufficient nutrient supply in plant roots, providing ideal growth conditions for plants.
The NFT system is more suitable for planting lightweight, fast-growing plants that can be harvested quickly like different types of lettuce. In addition, the NFT hydroponic system is very suitable for growing basil, kale, sesame, and other green leafy vegetables. Some edible flowers, such as golden lotus and tricolor violet, can also be grown using NFT systems.
The advantages of NFT are as follows:
1. Due to the lack of culture medium, it is relatively easy to check for any disease in the roots and whether the feed is sufficient for growth conditions.
2. Low consumption of water and nutrients.
3. The environmentally friendly NFT hydroponic system can minimize the risk of polluting local groundwater.
4. Compared with other system equipment, the disinfection of the roots and hardware of NFT hydroponic systems is relatively easy.
