Hydroponic farming is becoming more and more popular all over the world due to their high performance/ profitability in less space. Urbanization, natural disasters, climate change and reckless use of chemicals and pesticides that reduce soil fertility are limiting soil management. Hydroponics is becoming more popular every day due to shorter time to grow crops than conventional cultivation, year round production, minimal spread of diseases and pests, and overall water conservation.
People like hydroponics because it gives them the best control over plant growth in a hydroponics system. For this reason, the hydroponics sector in India is growing rapidly.
In this technique, flowers, herbs and vegetables are sown in growing medium supplied with nutrients, oxygen, and water. This technology promotes lush growth and development, higher yields and superior quality. Soil-grown plants constantly draw from the soil the nutrients they need to sustain growth and development, while liquid hydroponic plants do not require additional energy costs for care. The energy that the roots would consume through food and water is now directed to the growth and development of the plant itself. As a result, leaves, fruits and flowers grow well.
Plants obtain through a method called photosynthesis. In this process, plants capture sunlight with a green pigment called chlorophyll (an inexperienced gift of pigment in leaves). They use light energy to separate water molecules that enter the body through the root system. Carbon dioxide adsorbed by water molecules then forms carbohydrates in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. What plants to feed it releases oxygen into the atmosphere, an important source for the habitability of our planet. Therefore, plants need soil only for water and nutrients and water directly to the plant’s root system using hydroponic technology can be a more efficient and flexible planting method than conventional irrigation methods.
We Croptek Agri Grower, the Hydroponic Farming in Rajkot are a leader in the development of turnkey commercial hydroponics. We grow nutritious fruits, herbs, and vegetables using hydroponics. Hydroponic technology grows 5 times more food and uses 90% less water than soil farming.
As a commercial model for hydroponics, many would-be entrepreneurs have joined the green revolution, helping engineers and professionals in areas such as mechanical engineering, information technology, aviation, and commerce. Most beginners and hobbyists use this planting technique to grow their fruits, vegetables, and herbs in a controlled rooftop or above ground environment.
