Abstract
Hydroponics is a method where the roots or the half of the shoot system of the plants are subjected to water which itself will become the growing medium of the mentioned plant. Moreover, this kind of technique is used mostly by soil less society wherein scarcity in soil has been a distress also to the results of modernization. In relation to that is Aeration, a process of applying Oxygen amounts in a Hydroponics system. The researchers plan to investigate the effect of Aeration to the growth of the subjected plants. The students are also aimed to promote the concept of Hydroponics with an alternative source of Oxygen.
In the study, Plants such as Kinchay and Mung beans were planted in two containers A and B and tested for five days. An ordinary Air pump was used in Container A as a supply of Oxygen which will be induced to water. Records were tabulated and posted in different tables. Results include that Plant A and Mung bean C have more changes consisting of root elongation and branching activity. On the findings, Plant A has 0.6 mm primary root improvement compared to the 0.3 mm improvement of Plant B. Based on the observations, Plant C has more maturity than in Plant D. Such records show that the Oxygen induced water …show more content…
In space, roots grow in every direction, and water and other essential plant foods float. The device they call is Veggie. Veggie is a container that gives plants a little more guidance by using “plant pillows.” These pillows are bags f dirt, fertilizer, and nutrients equipped with a material that soaks up water. Astronauts glue seeds onto the material directionally, so that their roots will grow toward the bottom of the bag and the stems will grow outward. LED lights shine above to give the plants the energy they need to grow, and expandable plastic walls provide protection for the leaves as they get
