Hydroponics is
nutrient less culture
water less culture
soilless culture
none of these
C.
soilless culture
Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, which is a method of growing plants without soil by using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. It is useful in areas having thin, infertile and dry soils. They conserve water. It can regulate pH optimum for a particular crop, control soil borne pathogens, avoid problems of weeding and obtain consistently better yield.
