Aquaponic Plant Design

In normal aquaculture, the excretion of the animals raised will accumulate in the water and increase the toxicity of water if not removed. In aquaponics, animal excretion is given to plants to be broken down into nitrates and nitrites through natural processes, and utilized by plants as nutrients. The water then circulates back to the aquaculture system.
Perhaps you've heard the term isaponic used in agriculture or how to grow crops. The aquapionic system you often hear is a combination that combines aquaculture or aquaculture system with a hydroponic cropping system that uses water and is able to recycle nutrients so that in this system you can cultivate fish and plants at once. This system is also known as the intercropping system that has been widely used by farmers in the world. Even some farmers grow rice and cultivate fish in their fields. However, plants grown in this aquaponic system do not grow on or on the soil media but on other planting media such as hydroponic planting media in general that can be a grows bed filled with pebbles and so forth.
The Basic Principles of Iaponics
The basic principle in an aquaponic cultivation system is a recirculation system or reuse of water flow previously used in the maintenance of fish and plants cultivated at the top as a filter or water filter. The plant will use residual substances produced by fish as nutrients or nutrients needed so that the use of nutrients in this medium is very minimal and the plant does not require chemical fertilizers anymore. Dirty water mixed with fish manure is not good for the growth of fish so that the dirt is flowed on the plant. Actually the dirt although it contains toxins for fish, it is very beneficial for plants and can be used to support its growth.
