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.
