Hydroponic Fertilizers, Nutrients, and Manures
Today, let us talk about Hydroponic Fertilizers, Nutrients, and Manures.
Hydroponic Nutrients:
AAs the hydroponic medium will have no soil, the nutrients required by the plants in order to survive should
be given directly to their roots. The main thing to take care of here is the delivery of the nutrients in an ideal
quantity. And this is not that easy to follow. It is not that easy like dumping the fertilizers into the water
present in the system. Plants usually require sixteen elements for their reproduction and healthy growth.
Each and every element is taken in a different way by the plants. Few of the elements are taken by the
exchange of gas through the pores of the leaf called stomata. Few others are taken by the roots directly.

This would become tough when a particular element has become a part of a particular compound which is
used by the plant. For example, Nitrogen has to be a part of the molecule of nitrate)
The below three nutrients will be available in the water and air, In order to optimize these nutrients, the
Carbon dioxide levels should be high and the water should be oxygenated well. If the carbon dioxide levels
are low or not present, then the production would be very less mainly in the indoor growing,
+ Carbon =
+ Hydrogen — H
+ Oxygen -O
‘The below three nutrients are the ones which are available in the fertilizers which are considered as main.
This main fertilizer is available in the form of the mixture of N-P-«
+ Nitrogen —N
‘+ Phosphorus ~ P
+ Potassium —K
Calcium is the element which would be available to the plants in the form of Calcium Nitrate which is
another fertilizer used commonly, It is mandatory to use Calcium Nitrate in the system of hydroponics.
+ Calcium —Ca
The below two nutrients will be available in the form of Magnesium sulphate i.e., MgSO4.
+ Magnesium — Mg
+ Sulphur S

‘The above listed seven nutrients are very rarely become defi
nt and these can be negligible as they would
be available anyways. The main deficient nutrient will be Iron (Fe). This deficiency can be covered by using
iron, which is collected. Molybdenum and Chlorine are also essential. But these would become toxic if used
in high levels.
Copper = Cu
+ Zine-Zn
= Boron -B
‘+ Molybdenum — MO
+ lron—Fe
+ Manganese ~ Mn
+ Chlorine - cl
‘The symptoms shown by the plants help the farmers or growers to identify which nutrient or element is
missing. Each symptom shows a different deficiency.
Nutrients in the form of Salts:
Nutrients will also be present in the form of salts and this will make measuring simple. Salts in the sense,
the topic is not about table salts such as sodium chloride, Salt is one of the types of compounds and most of
the nutrients will come into the system which is attached to something in the form of salt.
1. When the salts are dissolved in water, the ionic bond which is responsible for holding the atoms together
in the form of a molecule by using the charge is broken. Due to this, the salt gets split by leaving the ions
Which can be made use of the plants.
2. Due to this, the electroconductivty of the solution will change and by our luck, itis very simple to measure
the electroconductivity.
‘These two distinguishing qualities or characteristics of salts will make the measurement of nutrients easier.
The amount of salt in a mixture or solutions is equal to the number of nutrients present in the solution or
mixture, Hence, we can use electro-conductivity for the measurement of nutrients.
This measurement of nutrients by using an electroconductivity is very much important to run a hydroponic
system, But even the electro-conduetivity has its limits for the measurement. The electro-conductivity will
