NFT(Nutrient Film Technique)
NFT uses slightly tilted pipes to allow a thin film of nutrient solution to flow along the bottom of the channel, continuously providing water and nutrients to plant roots while ensuring oxygen exposure. The system consists of a water pump, a nutrient reservoir, PVC pipes, support structures, and a control system.
- Nutrient Circulation – A water pump delivers the nutrient solution to the top of the pipes, allowing it to flow downward.
- Root Absorption – Plant roots partially dip into the nutrient film to absorb water and nutrients while the remaining part is exposed to air for oxygen intake.
- Gravity Return – Excess solution flows back to the reservoir for filtration and reuse.
✅ Water-efficient – Nutrient solution is continuously recycled, reducing water usage by up to 90%.
✅ Ideal for large-scale production – Modular design is suitable for mass leafy green cultivation.
✅ Prevents soil contamination, reducing disease risks.
❗ Depends on electricity – If the water pump stops, roots may dry out quickly.
Ideal for: Leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, mint) and small-root crops like strawberries.

What is a Vertical Hydroponic Tower?
A vertical hydroponic tower is essentially an aeroponic tower growing system that delivers nutrients to plants through misted water.
Compared to traditional hydroponic systems, aeroponic towers offer several advantages. They allow plant roots to access more oxygen while using less water and nutrients. This efficiency helps reduce wastewater, lower costs, and minimize technical investment.
Aeroponic tower systems are particularly suitable for greenhouse hydroponic setups in high-temperature regions. Unlike conventional hydroponics, they do not require advanced climate control systems. Problems like root rot in hydroponic systems often occur due to high water temperatures caused by insufficient temperature regulation.
In fact, aeroponic towers solve the challenge of growing certain crops that struggle in traditional hydroponic setups, especially when resources are limited. Another key benefit is that plants in aeroponic towers generally grow 1.5 to 2 times faster than those in regular hydroponic systems.
Therefore, before choosing other hydroponic systems, it’s worth exploring the advantages of vertical hydroponic towers.
