Purpose: To enhance the growth rate and productivity levels of the plant so as to allow more plants to grow to suit the demands of Singaporeans.
The types of farming includes Aeroponics and Hydroponics. As compared to the traditional method of farming, Agrotechnology requires more cost as there are special equipments needed. Some of these many equipments include special lights that improves the growth rate of plants and water pumps. However with the help of Agrotechnology, humans are able to save land space as well as produce healthy crops with high productivity levels.
1. Hydroponics farming is farming when plans are not planted in the soil but foam. How do the plants get their supply of oxygen, water and nutrients? Water is pumped through a water pump to the plants. Nutrients are sprayed onto the plants. Not all agrotechnology farms control the oxygen supply of the plants.
Singapore is famous for its wide variety of orchids. These Orchids are also products of agrotechnology.
2. Aeroponics farming is a technique for growing plants without soil or hydroponic media. The plants are held above a system that constantly mists the roots with nutrient-laden water. With Aeroponics farming, People will require much more lesser space as the plants are hung above the ground. The rest of the water and nutrients distributions do not differ much.
