Nutrient film technique systems for coriander production: A comparison of aquaponics and hydroponics in UAE.

ABSTRACT: As global populations rise, the need for sustainable agricultural practices becomes increasingly urgent, especially in regions facing water scarcity and harsh environmental conditions. Traditional farming methods are often unsuitable for arid areas, leading to the exploration of alternative techniques like hydroponics and aquaponics. These soilless systems offer efficient water use and nutrient management, making them ideal for regions where conventional farming is challenging. This study compares the efficiency of Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) systems in aquaponics and hydroponics for coriander production. Both systems provide controlled environments for plant growth but differ in their nutrient sources-aquaponics integrates fish farming, while hydroponics relies on synthetic nutrient sol
