by Siraj Pinjari

For making  Hydroponic nutrient solutions you need following fertilizers .For compatibility issue A and B solutions are prepared . Which are added to Irrigation water to provide all essential nutrients which are N,P,K,Ca,Mg,S and micronutrients Fe, Boron,Mn,Zinc ,Molybdenum and copper.


Contents of Nutrient solution : A

  1. Calcium Nitrate       
  2. Potassium Nitrate   
  3. Fe EDTA   


Contents of Nutrient solution : B

  1.  MgSo4 (Magnesium sulfate)              
  2.   MKP (Monopotassium Phosphate)                
  3.   K2So4 (POTASSIUM SULFATE )

    Why is hydroponics the new way to grow plants? Hydroponic Grow Room Equipment is used to grow the plants. They are grown in an inert growing medium and are given a mixture of nutrient and water. The plants that are grown in soil spend a lot of energy searching for air, nutrients, and water. The water, air, and nutrients are mainlined directly to the rootball, in hydroponics, thereby freeing the upper flower, leaf or fruit to use its energy.

Hydroponics for Indian condition.

by Siraj Pinjari —    Hydroponics : Hydro = Water , Ponics = work      Hydroponics is growing plants in inert medium like coco-peat, Perlite, vermiculite and providing essential nutrients through irrigation water ( i.e. Nutrient solution added to irrigation water) Why  Hydroponics ? Hydroponics is mostly adopted for specific purpose : like large scale and continuous production of vegetables  as land preparation is not required . it solves various problems  AS BELOW. Water scarcity at certain location. Labour availability problems or labour cost. Undulating land. Tillage not possible with tractor/bullocks Soil is not cultivable (Barren Sodic soils-Kutchh). Automation of cultivation for efficiency. Cultivation on Roof top – terrace gardening or urban farming. Recreation/hobby like Living wall. Soil-less vegetable requirement like coriander ,mint, basil required for processing . Benefits —    ...
