Abstract
Nowadays demand of soilless techniques is increasing all over the world because of its efficient resource regulation and better food quality production. As we know that soil agriculture is now facing a lot of problems such as abnormality, tonicity, earthquake, climate emergency, uncritical use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. These synthetics chemicals are decreasing soil fertility. In this review, numerous hydroponic techniques used in the soilless system i.e., wicks system, ebb and flow system, drip system, deep water culture, and Nutrient Film Technique system are explained. Out of many benefits of these different techniques most important is requirement of less growing time for crops production than traditional growing methods. In hydroponic technique diseases and pest incidence as well as weeding, spraying and watering can be eliminated. Water requirement is less and crops grow faster than traditional methods. Soilless system required 90% less water as compared to traditional farming.
