Research On Fresh Hydroponic Lettuce In Alaska

By Freda Watts


A study on fresh hydroponic lettuce in Alaska gives farming a better approach. Farming is the source of food to many countries in the world. Foods that are grown by people in their farms is highly preferred than those that are made by use of chemicals.

Hydroponic is a new development in agriculture and can also be referred to as aquiculture. It is the practice of growing plants especially vegetables on water whereby the water acts as a reservoir of the nutrients used by the plant hence acting like the soil. This is a scientific practice since mineral requirements of the plant are dissolved in the right quantity and the plants absorbs them as if they were in the soil without drying up.

With this production, the region does not buy from outside any more since it produces their own. There are many factors which made it possible for the practice to be successful. The need to have used this practice and the importance of the same are discussed herein as below.

The region was is not conducive for the normal growing of crops for many reasons. The topography of the extensive areas in this state cannot allow for fresh hydroponic lettuce in Alaska growth of these crops. The weather also is usually very cold making it impossible for luctuca sativa to mature. Due to this reason no production of this vegetable which is consumed by many would be produced.

The best part of this practice is that since it had raised issues over the quality of the plants produced, there was an answer to that. Researchers took an interest to compare the terrestrial produce with the soil-less one. It revealed that the quality of both these plants is the same. This even made more to be on demand since this type of agricultural production is the same regardless of whether the soil is used or not.

The plants grown under the greenhouse environment and those that are under the normal conditions all are up to standard and fine with human body. Many people tend to have a mentality that crops grown in the greenhouse are harmful for human consumption. This is a myth to the society that they should do away with. Greenhouse should be encouraged by all the governments because their products are much healthier than those growing in an open natural environment.

Some crops produce with seasons. There are those known to produce only during hot seasons and others only during winter season. This is a great loss to the farmer who relies on such products. For the above discussed crop they can produce all over the years. For the greenhouse they are harvested and they get more and more suckers of the fruits form.

Therefore fresh hydroponic lettuce in Alaska is useful to the state. It is able to meet demand in the market and while fresh. This is possible due to the aquiculture practice.
