While aeroponic and hydroponic cultivation are both soil-free methods of growing plants, they differ in how they deliver nutrients to the roots.
Aeroponics: The plant roots are suspended in the air and misted with a nutrient-rich solution. This maximizes oxygen exposure to the roots, leading to faster growth and higher yields. It also provides precise control over moisture and nutrients, promoting optimal plant health.
Hydroponics: The plant roots are submerged in water or a nutrient solution. While this method also promotes faster growth than soil, the roots receive less direct oxygen compared to aeroponics.
