and i know the month of October was a wonderful month for us.
Scientist and Technologist are trying day by day to boost and change the face of agriculture all around the globe. And am very proud to say agriculture has left that PHASE of crude ways of farming ..
I know its will be hard for some persons to believe that crops can be grown without the use of soil .. wowwwwww
yes that practice is called HYDROPONICS..
HYDROPONICS
Its a Greek word
hydro- water
ponous- labour
which means working water
HYDROPONIC- it is the cultivation of plants or crops in a NUTRIENT enriched WATER without SOIL.
Water contains required amount of nutrient for growth
HYDROPONIST- a person that practice hydroponics
HYDROPONICUM- a building or garden which hydroponics is practiced or done.
ADVANTAGES
1) No labour of tilling,land preparation,pest control etc.
2)Maximum yield of crops, crops will produce all year round.
3)No loss of nutrient to erosion, leaching, unlike planting on soil.
4)It can be done any where even on a barren land.
DISADVANTAGES
1) it requires a technical know how, you have to know more about it
2) it requires time.
please what this video to get more info on hydroponics
THANK YOU READ, WATCH ,SHARE AND LEARN
AGRICULTURE MUST GROW
