Hydroponics offers several important advantages over conventional farming techniques:

No Cultivation – in conventional farming techniques, cultivation, i.e., digging, raking, hoeing, etc. is necessary in order to aerate the soil. With hydroponics growing, these back-breaking, time-consuming and expensive tasks are unnecessary.

Low Crop Transportation – there is no need to transport crops large distances. Lettuce, herbs, celery or any other crop can be grown in the same place 12 months per year and supplied over shorter distances to the end-user.

No Weeds or Pests – with the use of sterile media for growing, the occurrence of “soil-born” weeds is unknown. In addition, the closed system prevents pests and disease.

Uniform Quality – plants of a uniform high quality can be expected repeatedly from crop to crop. The nutrient feed provides the plant with its exact physiological needs during growth, and consequently one can expect a perfectly formed high-quality plant.

Larger Yields – since there is no competition between individual plants for nutrients and oxygen, it is possible to plant them significantly closer to each other than in conventional farming methods. In addition, due to the continuous and highly efficient provision of their specific nutrient requirements, hydroponics plants reach maturity faster than their conventionally grown counterparts. Also, there is no crop loss due to pests and disease, as is the case in field grown crops.


With some crops, it is conservatively estimated that under smooth work conditions, the hydroponics method will produce in excess of ten times the yield expected in soil. It also offers products, which are consistent in their quality and appearance.

No Need For a Wash Process, Yielding an Extended Shelf Life – the cultivated vegetables do not require a washing process before packaging, since there is no soil, herbicides or pesticides. Therefore, they are ready to eat from the greenhouse. Hence their production cost is lowered and shelf-life is dramatically increased because the washing process adds cost and lowers the shelf-life. Moreover, given a longer shelf-life, distribution to remote areas is possible, making new markets are available.

Environmentally Friendly Technology – Our greenhouse system is environmentally friendly by using less water, less land, no pesticides and herbicides, and can be operated using alternative energy sources, such as solar, wind and bio fuels.
