| Abstract | Hydroponics system can be a method of growing crops in a bio-integrated plant system. Here, the most popular crops are green oak lettuce salad and morning glory whichh can be a high market price and short production cycle crops. Microbial biodiversity present in the system is the main component of hydroponics and can be studied further by the application of biofertilizer. Valuable information thus obtained can be used to culture previously non-culturable species in laboratory and incorporated into biofertilizers. Microbes present in the system help to solubilize nutrients for plants, which come from the supplements. So, making the system completely organic and healthy requires use of high quality and organic nutritional supplements. Avoiding the use of chemicals leads to production of high-quality plants for consumption. Biofertilizers that consist of many bacterial species promotes growth of plants. Biofertilizer can assess its effect on growth yield of crops in hydroponic system. The effect of biofertilizer was performed in all three different fertilizer treatment, parameters of growth for example height of plant, llength of root, final total weight from yield plant. Lettuce and morning glory growth yields were quite good. The result for laboratory gain and growth yield followed this relationship that Mixture, Chemical, Biofertilizer with significant differences seen between all treatments. This study of thesis makes a better knowledge about effect of type of fertilizer of hydroponics to increase quality and quantity product. However, Hhydroponics concept has been implemented, Ccrucial studies can further enhance the value of it. The Feasibility study can be improving the productivity of crops production and commercial applications. Thorough all components learning can create a base which are reliable for the hydroponic system potential practice. |
