Due to urbanization, climate change, natural disasters and the indiscriminate application of herbicides and pesticides, all of which are reducing land fertility, poor yield and quality are currently affecting soil-based agriculture. So, now a days Hydroponic farming is gaining popularity around the world due to its effective resource management and high-quality food production. In this review article, types of hydroponics viz. wick system, ebb and flow, drip system, Nutrient Film Technique, deep water culture system and aeroponics; operations by this technique were discussed. These techniques have several advantages, including fewer growing times of crop than traditional methods, year- round production, low disease and pest incidence, and the elimination of weeding, spraying, and watering. Hydroponics play a great role in cultivating plants especially in urban areas, where very limited space available and water scarcity area. Keywords: Aeroponics; NFT; open field hydroponics and soil-less culture. Review Article
