New Technology Brings Hydroponic Production into Mainstream

Larry Baker’s latest book on hydroponic growing systems will help you save money, eat better and keep your good health: “Hydroponics at Home Guide

In the mid 1970' s another media blitz about the miracles achieved with hydroponic technology hit the United States. Again, hydroponics was considered a get rich quick scheme and many hopeful investors lost big money on failed hydroponic farms.

Even though the potential of hydroponic culture is incredible, commercial hydroponics in the US was held back until hydroponic systems that were economical to build and relatively easy to operate, became available in the marketplace. With the advent of high-tech plastics and simpler system design, this came about in the late 1970's. The energy saving poly greenhouse covers, the PVC (or similar) pipe used in the feed systems, the nutrient injector pumps and reservoir tanks are all made of types of plastic that weren't available prior to the 1970' s.

As both small and large hydroponic farms were established in the late 1970's, it was proven that, with proper management, hydroponic culture could produce premium produce and be a profitable venture. As hydroponics attracted more growers, complete plant nutrient formulas and hydroponic greenhouse systems were being marketed. Environmental control systems were being developed to help to growers provide the ideal plant environment in addition to the ideal plant diet.
