Aeroponics revolutionizes potato cultivation

The difference of aeroponics lies in the fact that the roots of the plants remain suspended, receiving constant nutrient sprays. The absence of soil significantly reduces the risk of diseases, in addition to optimizing the use of water and space, factors increasingly critical for modern agriculture. The result is higher quality potatoes, free of impurities and with better use of the productive potential. The process follows simple, but technically structured stages. First, the aeroponic system is set up, followed by the insertion of potato tubers or cuttings into net pots. It is necessary to maintain the nutrient solution at the ideal pH and ensure frequent spraying of the roots. Harvesting occurs after the plants flower and the foliage is reduced, when the tubers reach the ideal point of development. In addition to increasing productivity, aeroponics directly contributes to sustainable ...
