Harvesting From the WaterThe people
were doing their cultivation on the land and they use to feed the water
and nutrients to the plants for the growth. Now the demand for fruits,
vegetables and other type of foods has got increased and the human has
searched to find the better way for cultivating the crop plants, in
a better manner and to increase the productivity to match with the demand.
However, the use of chemical has found as harmful to the human body and the people compelled to go back to the organic way of plantation. The technology has been developed and found the way to increase the productivity of the plants without jeopardize the health of people and the environment. The developed way of farming is named greenhouse technology, where the plants are growing in a closed chamber with out the consideration of natural weather conditions. The greenhouse
technology is also having two ways to cultivate the plants that are
on the soil or in the water, called as hydroponics farming. Water is
an ingredient for the growth of the plant and the nutrients must feed
for the healthy growth and productivity of the plant. The technology
has developed to grow the plants in the water and all the necessary
nutrients will feed through water by dilution. The greenhouse is a closed chamber with controlled environment, which helps the plants to grow through out the year. The hydroponics technology has proved that it is more productive than the plants growing in the soil. To prove how effective it is, scientists made a comparative study on the growth of tomatoes. One batch used soil and produced ten tons. The other batch used hydroponics technology and the production was unbelievable, 60 tons of product. This shows that this method can produce six times more than traditional farming.Some crops will be able to produce more than the others will; the length of the time to harvest is still faster than the old method, which gives a faster turn around for farmers. The farmer no need have to check and pull out weeds or look for diseases, which are normally happen in the soil cultivation. The greenhouse technology having many advantages that the requirements like light rays, air, heat, and humidity can be produced and provided artificially. The
different methods of hydroponics are: One of
the nicest things about hydroponics gardening is that it does not need
more space, which allows the person to set up a greenhouse in the backyard.
The requirements are water in containers, tubes to reuse the water,
strong lamps for artificial light and some organic nutrients that are
available at the gardening store.
