SHORT HISTORY OF HYDROPONICS

AND INTELLIGENT ROTARY SYSTEM

The word hydroponics comes from the Greek words hydro (water) and ponos (to work) and literally means ‘water work’. The first hydroponic systems come from antiquity. In fact, the hanging gardens of Babylon and the floating gardens of the Aztecs in Mexico were the first hydroponic systems. Thanks to the continuous floods it was possible to grow food throughout the year.

The basis of modern hydroponic systems was established after the experiments that took place between 1895 and 1865, carried out by the German scientists Von Sachs and Knop. They discovered that plants needed certain nutritional elements to develop.

​

The first successful hydroponic systems were developed in the 1930s by Dr. Gericke in the US state of California. During World War II, these systems were adapted to provide American soldiers with fresh vegetables. The first hydroponic systems were adapted for commercial purposes for the production of vegetables and flowers in the seventies and eighties.

​

The Rotary Garden system is a combination of the hydroponic culture known by breeders that uses modern technology, which implies a more efficient use of space, light source and gravity, so that plants can grow faster in the most

ideal conditions during all year.

We provide the plants the right amount of light, the water required by the plants with the necessary ingredients is used effectively, so that we are not exposed to losses, as in traditional cultivation in the soil. Thanks to daily environmental control and maintenance of sterile growing conditions, plants are less susceptible to diseases, grow faster and have more fruit.

​

Geotropism-Rotary Garden uses the reactions of the organs of plants to change their position in relation to the vector of gravity.
