Development of Aeroponics Stands Using Locally Sourced Materials
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Aeroponic Farming
Abstract
In an enclosed environment of air, water, and nutrients known as aeroponics, plants grow quickly with little water and direct sunlight without soil. In Nigeria, some farmers are having a hard time farming because of frequent farmer-herders crises. Thus, the ultimate objective of this research is to offer a farming method that is free from Nigeria's difficulties with insecurity. This is what aeroponic farming represents. This article describes the fabrication of an aeroponic stand and water supply system utilizing locally available materials. This resulted in a cheaper but more effective aeroponic system at a large-scale level.
