Organic and Hydro-Organic Nutrients
Organic nutrients refer to substances with carbon molecules that are used by living organisms. All plants require the right amounts of organic nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids, and proteins for proper functioning.
The term “hydro-organic nutrients” is a combination of hydroponics and organic nutrients. Hydroponics refers to the practice of growing plants in solution of organic nutrients without using soil. Hydroponics is based on the principle that plants require soil only to extract nutrients. Hence, soil is not really necessary.
