replay to the following statments and mintion the references .
Answer questions as you are against hydroponic
should give a strong disagreements statements
As a Debate
A. Hydroponic is a controlled system that works in different conditions:
More complete control of the environment is generally a feature of the system (ie, root environment, timely nutrient feeding or irrigation), and in greenhouse-type operations, the light, temperature, humidity, and composition of the air can be manipulated.
B. Hydroponic system conserves a huge amount of water comparing to traditional farming: Hydroponic uses substantially less water as compared to soil farming:
In soil farming, most of the water that we supply to the plants gets leached deep into the soil and is unavailable to the plants' roots, whereas in hydroponics, plant roots are either submerged in water or a film of nutrients mixed in water is constantly encompassing the root zone, keeping it hydrated and nourished. based hydroponics can reduce irrigation water usage by 70% to 90% by recycling the run-off water.
C. Hydroponic system is more efficient than traditional planting:
1 *It is free from soil diseases:
Recently hydroponic technique is becoming popular because this is a clean and relatively easy method and there is no chance of soil-borne disease, insect, or pest infection to the crops thereby reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides and their resulting toxicity.
2 *It provides nutrients for plant to grow faster:
The plant in hydroponic will grow faster because it will no need for hard work to obtain nutrients. also, the small root will help to provide needed of plant, so instead of extending the root system downstairs, the plant should concentrate more on growing upstairs. For instances, your plants will mature up to 25% faster and produce up to 30% more than the same plants grown in soil.
3 *Hydroponic system and sustainable agriculture:
When it comes to the future of agriculture, hydroponics is a step ahead because hydroponic facilities can be constructed nearly anywhere. This means that areas that do not have the ability to sustain traditional farming methods now have a way of growing and harvesting fresh produce all year round.
Hydrophobic is not sustainable for lomg term particularly in those countries which eco omically poor-
Due to very high cost of establishment of the complete setup and it's long term maintenance which could be very costly affair for those countries which are solely depends agriculture for thier revenue generation because input cost wil much higher than out put cost. Then consumer will not buy high costly vegatable or agricultural product.
Also these hydrophobic require sophisticated persons to handle all these setup and equipment. These person should be well trained so that they can do media sterilization , calculative amount of adding minerals fertilizer ,maintain strict pathogen free condition.
This type of setup even cause development of weak or stress free plant which is not good as once these get exposed little stess ofoutside enviroment they will die off so variation become the limiting factor.
Hydrophnics also cause huge loss when there is little contimination then we need to discard complete batch of medium seeds plants. Shoot minerals as it's difficults to find out from where the actual contamination has came.
This type of technique will cause huge unemployment in those agriculture based countries as here in this case very less no. Of sophistication manpower required who can bulk produce agriculture products using hydrophnics.
