This study introduces a simple, low-cost aeroponics system that mists plant roots with nutrient solution. The innovative design successfully cultivated various herbaceous and woody plant species, demonstrating its versatility.

Area of Science:

  • Horticulture
  • Plant Science
  • Agricultural Engineering

Background:

  • Traditional hydroponic and soil-based cultivation methods can be resource-intensive.
  • There is a need for accessible and affordable plant growth systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, inexpensive aeroponics system for plant cultivation.
  • To demonstrate the efficacy of this system for a variety of plant species.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a polyethylene-lined plywood box system.
  • Utilizing a home humidifier spinner to aerosolize nutrient solution.
  • Supporting plants on plastic light-fixture "egg crating" above the mist.

Main Results:

  • The aeroponics system was successfully implemented.
