Hydroponics cultivation was employed even in the ancient times. In the modern era, it was until the late 1920's that hydroponics was thoroughly accepted and practiced with the green house industry.

Yet its mainstream acceptance with the American people is only until the 1930's. Such acceptance even saved the American forces in the Pacific. The American forces grew vegetables and crops using these methods for their survival during the World War II.

Researches and the involvement of the scientific community constantly fueled the developments in the green house industry and it was in 1970's that a system was developed that opened the cultivation technique to more opportunities.

The system known as N.F.T. developed by Dr. Alan Cooper driven the cultivation method to be feasible with a wide variety of plants especially vegetables.

Today, hydroponics cultivation is now commercially accepted as a method feasible and economical for growing crops and vegetables. And with the use of digital and automatic control systems, the field of hydroponics has even become more competent with minimized human errors involved.

With the availability of the equipments due to massive popularity, this soil-less form of gardening even reached the ordinary gardener at home.
