Educational theme-Introduction to hydroponic agriculture (American based technology) 50% beneficiary set to steemit-pak

Plants without soil !!! Yes you heard right...
Now this is possible.

Hi, Assalam u alaikum dear Pakistani steemians!!
Here me Farooq Ahmad student of Msc (hons) in plant breeding & genetics at Pmas Arid agriculture university Rawalpindi.

Today I am here with the topic of hydroponic techniques in agriculture.
"Growing of plants without soil is called hydroponic agriculture"

Its history is very old but modern idea about hydroponic agriculture given us by American pathologist William Fredierck Gericke( university of California).

You can use it for business purposes as well as to decorate your home. If you are fond of plants, it can help you.

Before starting my today blog I will tell you the plant adopt a process for growth called photosynthesis in photosynthesis plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen(necessary elements for human),this process also need water and nutrients usually plants uptake water & nutrients through soil but in this method we provide water & nutrients artificially for their germination.

Production technology step by step:

Recipe of nutrients:
Macro nutrients

• Nitrogen
• phosphorus
• Potassium

Micro nutrients

• Sulphar
• Iron
• Calcium
• Boron
• Colorine
• Zinc etc
  These are necessary nutrients for the growth of plants in both case conventionally and hydroponically macro nutrients are more important for the growth of plants.
  As I discuss above in conventional methods plants uptake nutrients from soil but in hydroponics we make a recipe of these nutrients and provide to plants through plastic pipes.

Firstly seeds are placed in trays and fruther transplant to running water pipes.

PH of water

The most important factor according to me for the growth of plants in hydroponics is ph of water because the life of plants roots dip everytime in water and nutrients run in water and if any point the ph of water is distrub then you may have a big loss.

Simply if we talk about hydroponics agriculture is that this a method in which plant roots occur in water and complete their life cycle.

benefits of hydroponic

• Small area large production
• Healthy & fresh fruits and vegetables
• Avoid environmental stress
• Increase in farmer income

small area and large production:

As we know in hydroponics plants grow in pipes and we produce approximately 10 acre production from one acre hydroponics farm.

healthy fruits & vegetables:

Because environment in hydroponics is fully controlled and the harm of insect pest is minimum so we get fruits and vegetables with rich in nutrients.

role in farmer income:

As I mention we take production equally to 10 acare from one acre so it will definately increase farmer income..

how play role hydroponics in your home decoration:

It looks beautiful when the plant's roots are in the water and it is flourishing with this technology you can grow vegetables and fruits in your home and this work can also be done on the roof of your home.With this you can help your family in times of inflation.At the same time, traders who have monopolized the markets can now reduce it.It also plays a role in the interior design of your living room you can enhance its beauty by placing it on your cupboard on your computer table as shown in the picture.

my work in hydroponics

As it is emerging technology so our university management is very serious about this and number of hec projects are running in our university regarding resarch of hydroponics I have also worked a lot on this technology with my supervisor and got to learn a lot of new things.

I can't say in more detail that it will be too long great care is taken in the control environment to ensure that no one enters from outside the space I'm talking about when you're doing it commercially plants are taken care of a lot and if any part of a plant is getting damaged, it is cut down immediately under a suggested method.

This post is about learning purpose and here is a simple introduction to hydroponics In fact, it is a huge field and is being worked on all over the world I have expressed my views. If you like something or want to tell me something or ask me something I am present for this.

Thanks to steemit Pakistan team for giving us a platform where we can share ideas with each other...
