Question:

In which technique the plants are grown with their roots suspended in the air ?

Options:

Hydroponics 

Aeroponics 

Tissue culture media 

Aerophyte 

Correct Answer:

Aeroponics 

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Aeroponics
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or misting the roots with hydroponic solutions, which are suspended in the air.

It does not use soil or aggregate medium. The microbes on the plant are in an oxygen-rich environment.

This allows the microbes time to digest the nutrients and to make them immediately available for the plant’s use.

Well-circulating CO2 in the room also enhances growth.
