Design of Low-Cost Hydroponic Technology for Cultivation of Leafy Vegetables for Human Food Security in a Cold Desert Area of the Trans-Himalayan Range
Main Article Content
Abstract
For many decades, food security has been a worldwide concern. The present research aimed to examine an efficient technique for planting system i.e. hydroponic (a soil less system of farming) and statistical experimental design approach was used to compare the growth of different Leafy Vegetables (Spinach and Lettuce Varieties) in the Cold Desert Region of Trans Himalaya under the designed hydroponic system. The results showed that the leafy vegetable variety that were grown in the NFT system, exhibited significant differences in above attributes. The BC ratio of nutrient solution was found to be four times higher.
