ABC's of NFT by Dr. Cooper Dr Cooper devised the Nutrient Film Technique and the existence of NFT cropping is to a great extent due to his persistence and determination in the face of initial skepticism. With the spread of NFT, his experience has become international, ranging from NFT tomato and cucumber cropping under artificial light in Alaska to the production of NFT hybrid Napier grass for feeding the milking herds of India. He has a unique understanding of NFT cropping which is evident in this book.
First published in 1979, The ABC of NFT quickly established itself as the 'hydroponic NFT bible' throughout the world. It can be fairly said that many of the world's commercial NFT growers used this visionary work as their inspiration. Today, Dr Cooper's extraordinary vision has become a reality. In this new edition, Dr Cooper looks at the development of NFT, and challenges conventional hydroponic thinking in a forward that suggests that further research work is needed to explore the use of non-chemical nutrition.
