Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Hydroponic plants are those plants that are grown in the nutrients solution instead of the soil. The hydroponic technique helps in saving water as well as the problems related with the plant weeds are solved. This is a controlled yielding of the plants in a suitable environment.
