The open system introduces a each irrigation cycle through the new nutrient solution. Besides, the drip irrigation systems are usually supply nutrient solution to the plants. Even, in the roots must be maintained with the nutrient balance by adequate run-off. In the closed system, at least one a week the nutrient solution can be recycled and the nutrient concentration can be recirculated and adjusted. Moreover, nutrient balance in the closed system must be monitored carefully because it’s quite challenging and difficult. As an example, the closed hydroponic systems include wick system, drip system, ebb and flow system, deep flow system, nutrient film technique (NFT), aeroponic system and vertical system. Overall, there are differences between open (outdoor) and closed (indoor) in hydroponic systems. The closed system consumes less of water and fertilizers compared with the open system. Furthermore, evaporative which are greater in the open system compared with closed system also can be explained by influence of factors (Onanuga,
Fertile Agribusiness in yuma has evolved to help model for efficiently using maximize agricultural production and economic value. By using irrigation we improve efficiency and judicious switching to less dried up crops we can use less water,

We won’t be driving to the stores as often, so that is less fuel emission in the air. If we are out in the yard gardening we won’t be using the electricity inside the house, which saves energy.
In Michael Pollan’s article “Why Bother,” takes a different approach and talks about how gardening can not only help save our planet but can also benefit the population. For example, gardening can help lead a healthier lifestyle by
Gwen Harwood’s poems ‘At Mornington’ and ‘The Violets’ mirror ideas of circulatory nature of life and relationships between contrasting themes.

This experiment is an attempt to investigate the amount of water potential across root storage plant species. The root storage plant species that shall be used are the carrot and the potato and the method that shall be used is known as Chardakov’s method. Water potential is the tendency of water to enter or leave a cell. Water moves from an area or region of low water potential to an area of high water potential. It is important to note that the highest water potential is 0(the water potential of pure water) and the other water potential values are in negative numbers .
