What is aerosol cultivation
　　
Aerosol cultivation is a mode of growth and development in which the roots of plants are completely placed in an aerosol environment. It satisfies the water and fertilizer needs of plant roots through atomized water vapor, and has sufficient oxygen and free space for expansion. The roots grow without resistance. The main characteristic that distinguishes aerosol cultivation from any other cultivation mode is the suspension of roots growing in an aerosol environment.
　　
Aerosol cultivation technology is a good soilless cultivation technique in the current cultivation mode. Its root system is suspended and grows in a high humidity nutrient mist environment, which can obtain sufficient oxygen from the environment. At the same time, through misting technology, water and nutrients can be directly obtained. It is a suitable, sufficient and direct supply method for the three factors of fertilizer, air and water. Therefore, it exhibits a growth rate and development progress that no other cultivation mode has, and shows magical growth effects and unconventional yield expression in agricultural production.
　
　　
Advantages and characteristics of aerosol cultivation
　　
Aerosol cultivation is a technology with great potential and prospects in horticultural production and research, which cannot be compared to any previous cultivation mode. It can significantly improve the quality and quantity of production, greatly reduce the input of manpower, fertilizers, water, and pesticides, especially in greenhouse cultivation. Aerosol cultivation has lower electricity consumption and is a major development project and efficient agricultural technology for greenhouse cultivation in the future.
　　
1. The aerosol cultivation mode can create a favorable root zone environment for plant growth. The normal or rapid growth of plants is based on the photosynthetic metabolism centered on branches and leaves and the absorption metabolism centered on roots. The normality of these two metabolic processes can change the growth rate and quality of plants.
　　
2. Aerosol cultivation can meet the comprehensive and sufficient requirements of plants for water, fertilizer, air, temperature, and light. It can be suitable for almost all plant cultivation. Using inorganic fertilizers to prepare nutrient solutions, in addition to the main elements of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, various trace elements can fully meet the requirements of different plants. Aerosol cultivation can achieve sufficient supply of oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is not available in any other cultivation method.
　　
3. Aerosol cultivation plants can grow rapidly. Aerosol cultivation can achieve rapid growth and development of plants in a short period of time. Generally, aerosol cultivation of plants is 3-5 times faster than substrate cultivation and 1.5-3 times faster than hydroponic cultivation. The key is the optimization of oxygen supply in the root zone environment and the reduction of mechanical resistance. The roots in the aerosol environment have strong root oxidation ability and absorb various mineral ions quickly and efficiently. The roots are in the air and develop without any physical resistance, making it a good model for high-yield cultivation technology at present.
　　
4. Aerosol cultivation can allow plants to develop abnormally and maximize yield. For sightseeing agriculture, it has higher ornamental value and is of great significance for increasing the competitiveness of agricultural products and cultivating high-quality agricultural products.
　　
6. Aerosol cultivation has higher temperature regulation efficiency. The cultivation of off-season vegetables is an important technology in vegetable production, especially in winter heating cultivation and summer over summer cultivation, which can double the price of vegetables of the same variety and is also a key technology for cultivators to achieve efficient income generation.
　　
7. Aerosol cultivation is convenient for three-dimensional vertical cultivation. The pyramid shaped aerosol cultivation expands the space for plant cultivation, increases the number of cultivated plants, and achieves a three-dimensional scientific layout, which increases the utilization rate of land with the same plane area by 1-3 times and increases production efficiency by 5-10 times. In today's urbanization and gradual reduction of land, it has universal practical significance.
　　
8. Aerosol cultivation is a water-saving cultivation mode. Its water-saving efficiency can reach 90%, such as greenhouse soil cultivation of tomatoes. It is a production technology with high water resource utilization in water-saving agriculture, which is related to its closed-loop liquid supply production.
　　
9. Aerosol cultivation completely breaks away from conventional substrates, breaking all the limitations of traditional production processes, eliminating the tedious farming processes such as soil cultivation, tillage, weeding, fertilization, irrigation, etc., achieving efficient and automated workshop production, allowing everyone to learn and master it, like planting flowers and grass for leisure and entertainment.
　　
10. It greatly expands the cultivation space and application places of agricultural production, which means that agricultural production can be carried out in any place with space, light, electricity, and water. The roots are completely suspended in the air for cultivation, solving the serious problem of soil erosion affecting the ecology in current agriculture. Growing in the air, away from the easily polluted soil environment, can achieve clean purification of production sites and processes, which is conducive to organizing industrial and factory cultivation. Even if one does not understand agricultural technology, they can easily manage and operate it, making it a new agricultural model suitable for urban development.
　　
The aerosol cultivation technology has formed a good social impact and corporate benefits. From simple straw shapes in development to the construction of standardized fog training factories; From scattered small-scale pilot projects to the construction of large-scale vegetable bases covering hundreds of acres; From flat fog cultivation to three-dimensional farming, and now to vertical farms, it has become an important technical support for efficient, harmless, and high-quality vegetable production. In terms of control, it has evolved from standalone control to integrated networked remote control; In terms of mode, it has developed from the original tower and column style to the current ladder style, mobile style, layered style, spiral terraced field style, and pipeline style, especially the pipeline style water and gas cultivation, which has opened up an environmentally friendly, ecologically sustainable and labor-saving agricultural path for the construction of mountain orchards and economic forests, and pioneered the development of soilless farming in mountainous areas. The combination of foggy agriculture and urban development has become an important model for the construction of urban agricultural courtyards, balconies, rooftop vegetable gardens, and orchards. In terms of cultivation varieties, from ordinary leafy vegetables to fruits and melons, and now to cultivation modes that are suitable for almost all plant species; In terms of nutrient solution technology, it has evolved from a single universal formula to dozens of specialized formulas that are now subdivided; In the prevention and control of diseases, the development has shifted from using fungicides to zero pollution residue physical prevention and control (using electrically functional water and electric field technology); In terms of cultivation methods, it has developed from the original single variety to the current three-dimensional forest like mixed planting mode, fully utilizing the mechanism of mutual generation and restraint between plants, constructing modern agricultural ecology, and even achieving mixed planting between aquatic and terrestrial, herbaceous and woody, tall and short plants.
