|PAT quality check=Yes
|PAT Name=Aeroponic Growing System
|PAT Picture=Aeroponics.jpg
|PAT Type Alternative=Alternative Methodology
|PAT Description=Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or substrate. The word "aeroponic" is derived from the Greek meanings of aero- (air) and ponos (labour). Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics, aquaponics and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses a liquid nutrient solution as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth or aquaponics which uses water and fish waste, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. Because water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients, it is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics.
