Hydroponic fertilizer additives are substances added to the nutrient solutions in hydroponic systems to improve plant growth, development, and yield. Unlike traditional soil-based agriculture, hydroponics relies on water-based solutions to deliver nutrients directly to plant roots. Fertilizer additives ensure that plants receive all the essential nutrients and other beneficial compounds in a controlled, efficient manner.
