XIV

In a hydroponic system ultrasonic hydroponic foggers are used——to create a fine mist, the: individual particle size of which is: typically of about 5 μm in diameter. These fine particles are capable of carrying nutrients from the——standing water of a reservoir——to plant roots. Benefits include humidification. And exponentially improved root exposure to oxygen.

Ultrasonic hydroponic foggers can be, used in conjunction with prior advances such as aeroponic misters/even ebb and flow systems to help improve humidity levels (mimicking a rainforest canopy) and increase nutrient absorption, "thus boosting growth rates." Research into standalone fogger-supported hydroponic growing is underway.
