Sistema hidropônico de pequeno porte ―tipo cavalete‖, utilizando tubulação de bambu (Bambuponia).

Abstract

This work was done in UFCG/CDSA in Sume-PB and consisted in developing a social technology, sustainable alternative small hydroponic system for producing vegetables for the family farm. We used PVC fittings, and stalks of Bamboo vulgaris species without chemical treatment and machined metal materials. Rode a type structure "easel" by hand using equipment such as drill, hammer and a simple saw. The system is pressurized, the water being pumped by a small pump. Was added to design a liquid reservoir made from used tires. We conducted an economic analysis, which was estimated to cost reduction by replacing PVC pipes. The project proves applicable, simple and functional, as well as alternative and inexpensive, and its maintenance easy to handle.
