Soilless agriculture is not very known in our country because this production is mainly for export. The reason for this is that the cost of products produced with soilless agriculture is high and this cost is reflected parallel to the price. In other words, the price of a tomato, which costs 1 lira with soilless agriculture, on the market bench reaches an average of 3.5 liras. buyers of these products in Europe, which is far above the ordinary consumer purchasing power in Turkey too. These countries have already started to purchase land from Turkey to landless agriculture.

In soilless agriculture, which is the most preferred form of production in the world, the product grows not in the soil on the ground, but in containers special for seedlings to be grown. The seedling is planted in a substance called Rock wool brought from Denmark. Rock wool is a material that can hold water. However, a substance called perlite is added to the container. As this substance has the feature of providing thermal insulation, it minimizes the effect of the plant from temperature changes.

After the seedling is planted, bumblebees enter the stage during ripening and fruiting. These bees, with their licking and absorbing tongue, provide pollination by absorbing the interior of the flowers during the flowering period so that the product is formed.

The aeroponic system is the method applied to the roots of plants by spraying nutrient solutions continuously or intermittently as fog or vapor. Compared to other systems, this system, which saves water and fertilizers, has headers for disposing of nutrient solution and engine assembly that operates the system under pressure.

Aeroponic is the cultivation technique in which plants are placed on foam panels and plant roots hang in the air under the panel. The panels used are formed in closed boxes without light transmittance to stimulate root formation and prevent algae growth. The nutrient solution is sprayed into the roots in the form of fine mist. Fogging is done 1-2 seconds every 2-3 minutes. This is enough to keep the roots moist and to air the nutrient solution. Plants take water and nutrients from the solution fog sticking to the roots.

Pigments are compounds used in coloring materials such as paint, textile, cosmetics, food.

Organic pigments are pigments with hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen atoms in addition to carbon in their structure. Organic pigments of natural origin are obtained from animals and plants. For example, the red dye pigment obtained from the cochineal beetle is frequently used to color foods, cosmetics and fabrics.

Most of the organic pigments used today are synthetic pigments from petroleum. However, a large amount of toxic waste emerges during the production of synthetic organic pigments.

Synthetic inorganic pigments are produced as a result of relatively simple chemical reactions than synthetic organic pigments. Natural inorganic pigments consisting of mineral compounds are found in soil and rocks and have been used as dyes for thousands of years. The ultramarine blue, which was bright, dark blue and obtained by grinding the lapus lazuli stone, was a rare and higher-value pigment than that in the Renaissance period.
