HYDROPONIC SYSTEM: ROOT EXUDATES REMOVED BY NUTRIENT SOLUTION UNDER CAPILLIARY ACTION

摘要

A method of growing a plant hydroponically wherein nutrient solution is drawn by surface tension from a nutrient supply and conveyed to the root system of said plant by a layer of hydrophilic material, said nutrient solution passing at least intermittently in one direction across said root system thereby removing exudates from said root system to a collecting area while supplying said plant's requirements for nutrients and water.
