NFT Hydroponics System for continuous growth

The Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) by Agriplast is a highly efficient, scalable hydroponic system designed for commercial crop production. NFT systems suspend plants in specially designed channels where the roots are exposed to a shallow stream of nutrient-rich water that constantly flows past them.

The channels are slightly tilted, allowing the nutrient solution to flow gently downward into a reservoir. From there, the solution is recirculated back to the top using a low-power pump, ensuring efficient and sustainable nutrient delivery.

Key Benefits of Agriplast’s NFT System

  • Efficient Nutrient Use: The continuous flow maximizes nutrient absorption while significantly reducing waste and runoff, making it eco-friendly and cost-effective.

  • Enhanced Oxygenation: The constant thin film of water delivers nutrients while leaving parts of the roots exposed to air, ensuring they receive sufficient oxygen for optimal growth.

  • Scalability & Modularity: This system is perfect for commercial growers as it can be expanded easily by adding more channels or modules to increase production.

  • Low Water Consumption: Closed-loop circulation minimizes water usage, helping you grow more with less—ideal for regions with limited water resources.

  • Clean & Controlled Environment: NFT eliminates the need for soil, reducing risks of pests and diseases and allowing year-round cultivation under controlled conditions.

Perfect for leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, basil, and herbs, Agriplast’s NFT system is engineered with high-quality food-grade materials and supports custom configurations to suit your space and crop requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

NFT is a hydroponic method where plant roots are suspended in channels over a shallow, continuously flowing stream of nutrient solution. This ensures efficient nutrient delivery and optimal oxygenation.

NFT systems are ideal for light, fast-growing crops like leafy greens—lettuce, spinach, kale, basil, and herbs. It’s not suitable for deep-rooted or large-fruit plants due to limited root support.

The system’s modular design makes it easily scalable. Combined with low water and nutrient usage, it offers cost-effective production with minimal maintenance—ideal for commercial farms and vertical farming setups.

Yes, the system uses a closed-loop circulation. The solution drains into a reservoir and is pumped back, reducing waste and conserving water and nutrients, making it an eco-conscious choice.

NFT offers constant nutrient access and superior oxygenation at the root zone, which leads to healthier root systems, faster growth, and improved overall plant vigor compared to traditional soil-based systems.
