A properly designed NFT system is based on using the right channel slope, the right flow rate, and the right channel length. The plant roots are exposed to adequate supplies of water, oxygen and nutrients. In earlier production systems, there was a conflict between the supply of these requirements, since excessive or deficient amounts of one results in an imbalance of one or both of the others.

NFT, because of its design, provides a system wherein all three requirements for healthy plant growth can be met at the same time, provided that the simple concept of NFT is always remembered and practiced. The result of these advantages is that higher yields of high-quality produce are obtained over an extended period of cropping. A downside of NFT is that it has very little buffering against interruptions in the flow, such as a result of a power outage. But, overall, it is one of the more productive techniques.

The same design characteristics apply to all conventional NFT systems. While slopes along channels of 1:100 have been recommended, in practice it is difficult to build a base for channels that is sufficiently true to enable nutrient films to flow without ponding in locally depressed areas. The slope may be provided by the floor, or benches or racks may hold the channels and provide the required slope. Both methods are used and depend on local requirements, often determined by the site and crop requirements.

Why choose 100×80 Double Layered NFT Channel?

This channel is absolutely perfect for almost every plant that grows 2ft tall like chilly, brinjal, capsicum, and leafy vegetables such as kale, bok choi, lettuce, spinach, and other herbs also show rapid growth in this channel. What makes it extraordinary is our specially designed NFT channel is capable of adapting the Deep Flow Technique which ensures that your plant will not starve or die during power failure. It can hold 5mm of water that will prevent roots from drying for up to 3 hours.

Technical Aspect

This channel’s lower portion is 40mm and the upper portion is also 40mm in size which means if you put closed end caps on both the ends then it can hold 40mm of water. 3 inch regular netpots are best for a 100×80 channel as these are a perfect fit for leafy plants, flowering and fruiting plants that grow up to 2ft tall with a mesh of dense roots.
