Hydroponics is the growth of plants in water culture having a balanced nutritional composition depending on the specific requirements of the plants grown. This may also be referred to as soil-less agriculture, test-tube farming, tank farming or chemical gardening. 
Commercially, hydroponic cultures are maintained in large shallow concrete, cement wood or metal tanks in which gravel and nutrient solutions are taken. The tanks are provided with pumps and empty auxiliary tanks to pump out and circulate the growth solution and to maintain proper aeration of the nutrient solution. 
The technique of hydroponics is employed to know which mineral element is essential for the growth and development of the plant. Commercially the application of hydroponics involves the production of horticultural and floricultural crops.
This method may be used to increase the yield of ornamentals, such as gladioli, snapdragon, roses and vegetables, such as carrot, radish, potatoes, tomatoes and lettuce.
