1. Understanding Aeroponics:
Plants are suspended in the air and roots are misted with nutrient solutions.
Benefits include faster growth, higher yields, and a cleaner environment.
2. Necessary Materials:
Aeroponic system
Potato tubers or cuttings
Nutrient solution
pH testing kit and pH solutions
Net pots
3. Steps for Cultivation:
Setup Aeroponic System: Assemble and set up as per instructions.
Plant Tubers or Cuttings: Place in net pots.
Prepare Nutrient Solution: Mix and adjust pH to 5.5-6.5.
Monitor Misting and Growth: Ensure consistent misting and check nutrient solution and pH regularly.
Harvest: Collect potatoes when plants flower and die back.
4. Benefits of Aeroponic Cultivation:
Reduced disease risk
Higher yields
Space and water efficiency
