Abstract
Sustainable development is really a matter of concern now days. Many natural events prove that Earth is reaching nearby its threshold limit in terms of natural resources. Saving is natural resources with maintaining rate of development for any country is a major challenge. Especially in case of agriculture, rate of utilization of land area and water consumption is really high. Some effort towards modification in traditional methods of plant cultivation is essential but with rise in total plant productivity or without affecting previous rate of productivity is required. Hydroponics, a novel or non popular plant cultivation technique is showing some assurance towards sustainable development. Hydroponics is a method of plant cultivation without soil. Amount of water requirement is really very less as compared to soil based technique. Some of the plant species is very much compatible for hydroponic cultivation. They include mostly herbaceous or plants with small morphology. An earlier report proves that the existence of hydroponic for plant cultivation in all the seven continents of the world map. Which indicates that world is ready to adopt modification and novel approaches over traditional method of plant cultivation.
