Nutrient liquid membrane Technique (NFT)
NFT nutrient system which including NFT channels, irrigation parts, and steel frame, and water nutrient recycle in the channels, this hydroponic system widely use for growing lettuce etc leafy greens.
Always make holes on the NFT channels with supporting root net.
Advantages of NFT:
1. Less investment in facilities, easy and convenient construction. The NFT planter is made of lightweight plastic or corrugated shingles. The facility structure is light and simple, easy to install and disassemble, and the investment cost is low.
2. Intermittent liquid supply, the liquid layer is shallow and flowing. The nutrient solution layer is shallow, and the root system is partially immersed in the shallow nutrient solution, and partially exposed to the moisture in the planting trough, and the shallow nutrient solution circulates, which can better meet the demand of oxygen for root respiration.
3. Easy to realize the automatic management of the production process.
