Protected cultivation, such as greenhouse farming, has emerged as a critical tool in addressing the global demand for fresh produce while prioritizing sustainability. It provides a controlled environment that shield crops from external factors like harsh weather, pests and diseases, resulting in improved crop quality, increased yields and reduced resource consumption. Soilless growing techniques, like Dutch Bucket technology, have played a transformative role in this paradigm shift. Dutch Bucket hydroponics, originating in the Netherlands during the 1960s, offers a space-efficient and highly efficient method for cultivating high-value crops, particularly indeterminate vine crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. This system utilizes individual containers filled with inert growing mediums like clay balls, ensuring stability and aeration. Drip irrigation delivers precise amounts of water and nutrient solutions directly to plant roots, with excess solutions being re-circulated to minimize waste. Regular ...
