    The use of water to supply in Hydroponics provides nutrients to plants in a liquid form which makes them instantly available and not expend any energy in developing a huge root system (Bridgewood 2003, pp.9) Instead it puts its growth into foliage and fruit where most nutrients are found increasing the nutritional value of the food produced (Dekorne 1999, p.94).…

    Hydroponics is a technique of growing plants without basing them in soil. Hydroponic systems have been used since ancient times; it is believed that the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon employed a technique of ‘flowing water’ to keep plants alive. Chinese and South American cultures appear to have used hydroponics in cultivating crops since around 1300AD (Turner. B. n.d.).…

    An expanding human population has led to increased farming and accelerated soil erosion. When the soil has a low capacity to retain water, farmers must pump groundwater up and spray it over crops. The local water table will eventually fall. This water depletion can impact native vegetation in the area and have been doing this for several years. Agroforestry is a method of cultivating both crops and trees on the same land. Farmers plant agricultural crops between the rows of tree that generate income during the time it take the trees to grow mature enough to produce earnings from nuts or lumber. There are four tiers to follow for successful agricultural crops.…

    The germination of plants and their further experiments with dye degradation can be carried out using hydroponic solutions. These solutions provide a nutrient condition which is similar to that of the soil in which the plant usually grows. These solutions are enriched with various macro and micro nutrients and can be used for maintenance of plants for phytoremediation.…

    The new practices of aquaculture are innovative and make a very positive impact on the environment and developing communities. One form of aquaculture is hydroponics. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in water without the use of soil (“Hydroponics”). Using this method has many benefits with very few disadvantages. With hydroponics, there is no soil needed, which means there is no limit of growth due to soil types. Because water is recycled, much less is required for growing plants, which is a much more efficient process in dry areas such as Haiti. There is no loss of nutrient and clean water due to water runoff. All of the roots are soaked in nutrient filled water, making rain a natural wash on the leaves. Due to the contamination of water, Haitians have to be very vigilant in avoiding sickness. Hydroponic systems offer a very clean and efficient growing system. The system is not sustainable for bacteria and disease because it is cool and the water is filtrated regularly. Also, because there is no soil, there are no bugs and no weeds. The use of pesticides and herbicides are completely unnecessary. Gardeners have total control over the amount of nutrients that is…

    The science of growing plants without soil has been known and used for more than one-hundred years. The word “hydroponics”, however, is comparatively new. Dr. W.E. Gericke is usually given credit for coining the word, which translated from Greek, means “working water”. The famous hanging gardens of Babylon were probably on of the first attempts to grow plants hydroponically. The work of Dr. Greicke in the 1920’s and 1930’s in California, however, is generally considered the basis for nearly all forms of hydroponics. During the 1940’s at Purdue University, Robert B. and Alice P. Withrow developed another hydroponic method. Their process was called Nutriculture. Nutriculture varied from Dr. Gericke’s method in that gravel was used as a rooting medium.…

    Man has propagated plant material almost as long as he has cultivated the land to produce food. For a long time, plant material was propagated mainly by using the seeds of existing plants. Better methods were discovered over time, methods that allowed the farmer to retain the desirable qualities of the plant material, while eliminating some of the less desirable qualities. Through these methods, the farmer was also able to eliminate the variations between plants of the same cultivar and produce more consistently. Today, farmers buy their plant material consisting of seed and seedlings from commercial seed companies or nurseries. The farmer is able to obtain plant material of a wide variety of cultivars, and that has qualities most suited to his specific environment.…

    In solid growing media, there are five important parameters that should be monitored around the root zone to optimize plant growth and yields. EYAL RONEN offers some guidelines on how to manage these parameters to prevent major crop problems, and explains the importance of measuring fertiliser solution at both the dripper and drainage points. General terminology Soilless culture, commonly referred to as ‘hydroponics’, is a cultivation technique by which plants are grown detached from the soil. Plants are cultivated in containers filled with several possible growing media. If these media are solid, the method is called ‘soilless culture’. If no medium is present and the plant roots are bathed in circulated nutrient solution, the method is called ‘hydroponics. If no medium is present and plant roots get their nutrients by frequent spraying or misting, the method is called ‘aeroponics’. The method we are concerned with in this article uses solid growing media.…

    Agriculture is the backbone of India’s economic activity and our experience during the last 50 years has demonstrated the strong correlation between agricultural growth and economic prosperity. The present agricultural scenario is a mix of outstanding achievements and missed opportunities. If India has to emerge as an economic power in the world, our agricultural productivity should equal those countries, which are currently rated as economic power of the world. We need a new and effective technology which can improve continuously the productivity, profitability, sustainability of our major farming systems. is new to India. Greenhouse Technology Growing plants is both an art and a science. About 95% of plants, either food crops or cash crops are grown in open field. Since time immemorial, man has learnt how to grow plants under natural environmental conditions. In some of the temperate regions where the climatic conditions are extremely adverse and no crops can be grown, man has developed methods of growing some high value crop continuously by providing protection from the excessive cold, which is called as Greenhouse Technology. So, Greenhouse Technology is the technique of providing favourable environment condition to the plants. It is rather used to protect the plants from the adverse climatic conditions such as wind, cold, precepitation, excessive radiation, extreme temperature, insects and diseases. It is also of vital importance to create an ideal micro climate around the plants. This is possible by erecting a greenhouse / glass house, where the environmental conditions are so One such technology is the green house technology. Although it is centuries old, it…
