Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Greenhouse applications. 3. Hydroponic systems. 4. Hydroponic media and containers. 5. Hydroponic nutrition. 6. Care, maintenance and management. 7. Trouble shooting in hydroponics and management. 8. Appendix. Hydroponics is the method of growing plants using water and essential nutrients required without the presence of soil. Hydroponic farming can be useful in rough environments with the use of greenhouse or indoor farming with environmental control. By 2050, the earth's population is predicted to increase to 9.6 billion leading to decrease in land available for food production. Urbanization expanding cities need to develop alternate farming justify the implementation of hydroponic growing techniques as it does not require soil. All most all crops can be grown hydroponically. A knowledge of plant physiology and agronomic practice, would help to practice this fascinating industry to a common man and an industrialist. Round the year production of crops is possible. Through the initial investments are little bit higher, one can make huge profits with proper technical management and know how even by the beginners. This book provides the valuable information on the hydroponic technology. How to build simple system at home, and on a large scale in future. The chapters give ample information on the media used system in practice, Nutrient solution formulae, preparation, management, buildup of different system and how to proceed with day to day operations for successful hydroponic food production. The figures and illustration will make the reader to understand clearly the technology. The object of this book is to present consolidated information on hydroponics in a way to understand and attempt with curiosity for the contribution to the fare of society.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Designs in aquaponics. 3. Systems in aquaponics. 4. Fish culture in aquaponics. 5. Plant culture in aquaponics. 6. Aquaculture management. 7. Aquaponics: greenhouse application. 8. Troubleshooting in aquaponic culture. 9. Appendix. Aquaponics is integration of recirculating aquaculture and hydroponics in one system. It involves fish plant and bacteria. The effluent from fish tank is delivered through plant beds and not released into environment. At the same time the nutrients for plant are supplied from a sustainable cost effective and non-chemical source. Aquaponics can be more productive and economically feasible in situation where land water is limited. The production of fish and plant in aquaponics ecosystem is visible since the process allows the fish, plants and bacteria to thrive symbiotically. The present attempt is made to educate aquaponics in brief, in simple for beginners and slowly attempt to large system. This is a resource book, includes description even to a non-technical reader. This publication is divided into convenient chapters, starting from about aquaponics, system, media, fish culture, management, trouble shooting and greenhouse planning. The challenge has been to provide a bridge towards common understanding of broad field of aquaponics using adequate technical details. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific facet of an aquaponic system. The target audience is Agriculture extension officers, aquaculture promoting officials, NGO's companies and individuals with the intension to bring a general understanding of aquaponics to people and society. …

Hydroponic systems: design and construction. 7. Do it yourself: different hydroponic units. 8. Problems in hydroponic cultivation. 9. Glossary. 10. Appendix. Soil less cultivation is a new science. Today great and growing interest is been shown by all section of the public in its possibilities and uses. The new method of soil less cultivation is now offered to the main-in-street and steady, reliable, cheap and very easy technique. Multiple cropping and intense-cultures by hydroponic means will have profound effect in the soil in the social life of the nation. The states lacking in soil resource and water resource would find soil less culture ideal. To the urban people this is a fortune to have soil less gardening in their doorstep and to floor. By bringing cheap and nourishing food within the reach of all even the poorest-hydroponics offers a real value too humanly, commercial application of this technique has very advantages like higher crop yields, growing all around the year, high value crops, space requirement, no after cultivation with improved quality. The yield is estimated to be 2-3 times more than the conventional agriculture practices. This book is mainly intended to create awareness on soil less cultivation, basic principles, advantages, systems in practices, different media nutrient management operation, constraints and problems. Suitable figures of illustration will arouse interest to readers and contribute to society and nation towards self-sufficiency. Hydroponics offers the promise of feeding the millions of starring people around the world. Many of the greenhouse operation are hydroponic in nature. The beneficiates includes retail chain, defense establishment, public sector companies, hotel chains, processed food industry, catering series, corporate hospitals NGO's foreign retail companies, public-private partnerships. The system has the major potential for the realization of environmentally suitable urban food. …

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Visual diagnosis and correction of nutritional disorders in crops. 2. Essential elements and their functions. 3. Diagnostic techniques for nutritional disorders. 4. Diagnosing, causes for deficiencies and correction. 5. Causes for mineral deficiencies. 6. Corrective - measures techniques. 7. Cereals. 8. Pulses. 9. Oil seeds. 10. Sugar crops. 11. Fibre crop. 12. Narcotics. 13. Forages. 14. Physiological disorders. 15. Glossary. 16. Bibliography. The ability to identify deficiencies of plant nutrients before they limit crop yields is a major need in modern agriculture. The ability requires using a combination of diagnostic methods that enable remedial step to be taken before the crop yields are severely reduced. Three main methods of diagnosis may be used: visual deficiency symptoms, soil analyses and leaf tissue analyses. This book presents vast information on foliar diagnosis for managing the nutritional disorders for most of the important agricultural Crops viz., Cereals, Pulses, Oil Seeds, Fiber Crops etc. The book is written from a practical stand point, on the description of deficiency symptoms along with colour photographs associated with specific nutrient deficiencies. The other chapters are devoted to present a brief account on mineral nutrition, uptake processes of plant nutrients, their availability in nature and in soil, their role in plant metabolism. A detailed account of macro and micro nutrients and their management strategies are comprehensively discussed on both the underlying theory and practical application.…
