The important factors for commercial hydroponic farming are:
Adequate Knowledge and expertise in Hydroponics.
Technology driven farming increasing the efficiency and reducing the challenges like crop disease, lack of nutrients, space consumption. There are so many countries like Israel, GCC countries, America who use hydroponic as the main source of generation in vegetable production. If we don't have the sufficient expertise or advisors for this as new thing in the agriculture industry it's going to be a major challenge. So we need to have a consultant for efficiently taking care of the plant growth.
To ensure that the nutrients used for Hydroponic systems are safe, we need to use only the solution which are prepared dedicatedly for hydroponics. Macro and micronutrients within the water are directly fed to the plant, helping it to grow faster, and garnering a far better yield. The nutrient solution plays an important part in the growth of the plants. The nutrient solution contains the nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Nutrient solution varies for each variety of plabt. Thus, NPK ratios of the solution is the main factor. Also the water quality matters.
