Hydroponics involves the growing of plants without soil using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent .Akwill Grow Media “I.I.T.A. brand” is an ideal grow media for agriculture. It is specifically designed for growing Yams and Vegetables .It can be used with or without our hydroponic grow systems. In either case, there is no need for herbicides or pesticides to be used for agriculture where it is used with our grow systems.A combination of our IITA Brand environmental grow media substrates in our grow natural fibre grow systems results in faster grow times,yield and higher quality produce compared with less yield , slower growth and poorer quality produce grown without our Grow Media or natural fibre grow systems. Where water is a scarce resource ,our grow systems are four times more efficient.
