What Are the New Agricultural Planting Techniques? A Detailed Guide to the Practical Key Points

At present there are mainly five new agricultural planting techniques. They are soilless cultivation, column cultivation, wall cultivation, ecological restaurants, and facility agriculture.

1. Soilless Cultivation

This cultivation technique is also likely to become a common technique in the future. Soilless cultivation means not using natural soil, but instead using a nutrient solution to provide plants with the elements they need for growth and development, so that plants can complete their entire life cycle in water. In fact, soilless cultivation includes three aspects: hydroponics, aeroponics, and substrate cultivation. This cultivation model is generally suitable for three types of crops: flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

At present, the most common form of soilless cultivation is piped hydroponic vegetables. Its production equipment is quite advanced; the nutrient solution is in the pipes, and during production management the timing and frequency of nutrient solution delivery are adjusted, and the growth status of the vegetables can be monitored around the clock.

2. Column Cultivation

Column cultivation is somewhat like growing flowers: multiple flowerpot-like containers are installed on a column, substrate is placed inside them, and cultivation is carried out within them. Most column cultivation involves growing strawberries. After the strawberries set fruit, the fruit is distributed around the containers, making harvesting very convenient, and since they are pollution-free they can be eaten directly.

3. Wall Cultivation

Wall cultivation is a clever combination of walls and pipes, with substrate placed inside the pipes to provide nutrients for crop growth.

The greatest feature of this cultivation method is that it makes use of limited space, achieves plant diversity within the smallest possible area, and beautifies the wall. It has excellent ornamental value.

4. Ecological Restaurants

Ecological restaurants are a more advanced form of agricultural planting, applying a great deal of science, such as landscape architecture, architecture, and so on, so that the restaurant's environment is both beautiful and practical.

Ecological restaurants are mainly dominated by green plants, with vegetables, fruits, and flowers arranged in a well-balanced way, combined with rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, and other horticultural features, comprehensively presenting a green and beautiful dining environment.

5. Facility Agriculture

In fact, the facilities in facility agriculture usually refer to intelligent greenhouses. Intelligent greenhouses are controlled by computers and can automatically open skylights, shading systems, insulation systems, sprinkler irrigation systems, and a whole series of other systems involved in the crop growth process. In this way, science is used to provide a suitable environment for plant growth.
