Advantages of mineral nutrient solutions

Using nitrate nitrogen instead of ammonia nitrogen in these systems promotes healthy, sustainable plant growth. Unlike traditional fertilizers, which can cause rapid but weak growth, mineral solutions promote robust plant growth that is less susceptible to pests and diseases. This is similar to the difference between consuming simple sugars and complex carbohydrates in humans - sustainable energy supply without negative health effects.

Growing in soil is no longer sustainable given the growing world population and limited agricultural land. Aeroponic systems use mineral nutrient solutions that provide precise nutrient delivery to plants without relying on animal or plant fertilizers. These mineral solutions contain all the necessary macro and trace elements required for healthy plant growth.
