Advantages to NFT
- Lower water and nutrient consumption.
- Avoids the supply, disposal and cost problems associated with media based systems.
- Relatively easy to disinfect roots and hardware compared to other system types.
- The absence of medium makes it easy to inspect roots for signs of disease, feed adequacy, etc.
- Regular feeding (and associated flushing) prevents localised salt build-up in the root zone and maintains uniform root zone pH and conductivity.
- Environmentally friendly - minimal potential for localised groundwater contamination.
