Description
Hydroponic systems offer numerous benefits, including faster plant growth, higher yields, and efficient use of water and nutrients. They are also ideal for urban farming and areas with poor soil quality, reducing the need for pesticides and minimizing land use. The significance of water quality and lighting in hydroponic systems cannot be overstated, as these factors are crucial for maximizing productivity and ensuring the sustainability of crop production. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of water quality and lighting on hydroponic systems to optimize plant growth and yield. The initial work examined how variations in the type of water, namely tap water, rainwater and river water affect green bean growth. Subsequently, the best kind of water was used in the self-designed and fabricated hydroponic system to investigate the white and purple light by measuring the lettuce plant growth. Findings revealed a strong correlation between water quality and plant growth with rainwater producing the best growth when combined with purple light. This study underscores the necessity of water quality and lighting selection in hydroponic systems to ensure maximum productivity. By optimizing these simple parameters, farmers can achieve higher yields and more efficient use of resources, contributing to the sustainability of agricultural practices.
