10 gunthe =1000 Sq.Mtr
          = 10890 Sq.Ft
40 gunthe = 1 Acre
100 ares(10,000 m2)=1 hectares
1 are is 100 m2 =10000/4046.86
                = 2.47 acres in a hectare

How does hydroponics work?

consultechnologist · Accepted Answer

Hydroponics utilizes a hydroponic growing system with a growing media to cultivate fast growth in flowers, fruits, vegetables, herbs & houseplants.

Question 9

What is the difference between plants growing in soil & in hydroponic system?

consultechnologist · Accepted Answer

Plants grown in hydroponic gardens differ from soil based gardens as they use only the nutrients they need from the recirculated water, whereas plants growing in soil capture fewer nutrients during watering due to evaporation. A hydroponic system grown plants receive nutrients continuously as compared to Soil-grown plants which receive only when supplied. Additionally, growers can save on space growing plants vertically, eliminate weeding, and use fewer pesticides.

Question 10

How long does it take a plant to grow hydroponically?

consultechnologist · Accepted Answer

Hydroponically plants to grow in considerably less time. Plants receive nutrients as needed supplied by the nutrient-rich water, allowing for growth to be accelerated to 25 – 50% or in just a few weeks for some plants. Thus, plants expend less energy absorbing nutrients due to the availability of nutrients in the water as opposed to soil and the additional energy is used for growth.

Question 11

What is the frequency of the water to change in the reservoir?

consultechnologist · Accepted Answer

The water in the reservoir need to be changed to minimise the occurrence of pathogens that could form in the water. Growers should also pay attention to the plant’s water consumption, pH, changing water as needed maintaining a good quality supply.
