Nova 120
Aeroponic Tower

As the world moves toward sustainable food systems and decentralised agriculture, large-scale vertical farming has become a critical solution for feeding urban and institutional populations. Aeroponic towers sit at the centre of this transformation, enabling high-density crop production with exceptional resource efficiency. The Nova 120 Aeroponics System – Vertical Garden for Modern Hydroponic Farming represents the most advanced expression of this technology within Phooldaan’s aeroponics portfolio.

The Nova 120 is a professional-grade, high-capacity aeroponic tower designed for growers who require scale, consistency, and long-term operational reliability. With 120 dedicated plant sites, industrial-grade components, and a modular vertical structure, the Nova 120 supports intensive crop production in commercial, institutional, and semi-industrial environments.

Positioned as the flagship system in Phooldaan’s aeroponics ecosystem, the Nova 120 is a significant upgrade from mid-capacity towers such as the Lotus 60 and indoor systems like the Nova 35. It is purpose-built for continuous operation, predictable harvest cycles, and integration into modern vertical farming infrastructures.

 

What Makes the Nova 120 a Commercial Aeroponic Tower System?

The Nova 120 operates as a vertical aeroponic growing system where plant roots are suspended in air and supplied with nutrients through a precisely controlled misting mechanism. This method maximises oxygen availability at the root zone — a key driver of rapid growth, strong root systems, and uniform crop development.

What distinguishes the Nova 120 from smaller aeroponic towers is its ability to operate at commercial scale without sacrificing control or efficiency. The system is engineered to support:

• High plant density per unit area

• Continuous crop cycles with minimal downtime

• Long operational runtimes

• Commercial-grade nutrient stability

• Consistent output across multiple harvests

These characteristics make the Nova 120 suitable for professional hydroponic farming environments, including polyhouses, greenhouses, indoor vertical farms, and controlled agricultural facilities.

Why Aeroponic Towers Are Ideal for Commercial Vertical Farming

Maximum Yield per Square Foot

Aeroponic towers enable vertical stacking of plant sites, allowing growers to achieve significantly higher yields compared to horizontal farming methods.

Superior Water Efficiency

Commercial aeroponic towers like the Nova 120 use closed-loop nutrient circulation systems that reduce water consumption by up to 90 percent compared to soil farming.

Faster Growth and Predictable Harvests

Direct nutrient delivery to roots reduces plant stress and accelerates growth cycles, enabling predictable production schedules.

Reduced Disease and Pest Pressure

Soil-free cultivation eliminates soil-borne pathogens and reduces pest exposure, lowering crop losses and chemical dependency.

Scalability and Modular Expansion

Aeroponic towers can be deployed individually or in clusters, allowing farms to scale output incrementally without redesigning infrastructure.

 

Key Advantages of the Nova 120 Aeroponic Farming System

High-Capacity Vertical Farming

With 120 plant sites, the Nova 120 offers exceptional planting density. This vertical configuration is ideal for environments where land availability is limited but production demand is high.

Precision Aeroponic Nutrient Delivery

The advanced misting system ensures uniform nutrient distribution across all plant roots. This improves nutrient uptake efficiency, promotes even growth, and supports consistent crop quality.

Water-Efficient Aero Farming

The Nova 120 utilises a closed-loop nutrient circulation system, dramatically reducing water usage while maintaining optimal hydration for plants.

Reduced Disease and Pest Exposure

The absence of soil significantly lowers the risk of diseases and pests, enabling cleaner, more controlled production environments.

Designed for Continuous Commercial Operation

Every component of the Nova 120 is engineered for prolonged use. The system supports extended crop cycles and consistent output, essential for commercial and institutional farming operations.
