Hydroponics is the science of soilless growing of plants in nutrient rich solutions with very little water. It is a technique where the physiological requirements of plants can be met without use of soil or natural sunlight. Hydroponics techniques have proven it to be very useful and efficient for producing food for livestock. The food that is available is free from undesirable materials such as weeds, insects, dust, insecticides, germicides, carcinogens.

We at Ayurvet had taken lead in undertaking the Research and Development in the area of Hydroponics for production of green feeds/ paddy nursery since 2007. The studies with help of experts have demonstrated that hydroponic paddy nursery helped in saving 18 days time at nursery stage and increased paddy yield by 10-15% along with 95% saving of land and water upto 95%.

Mahindra & KRBL are the leading companies in their own field and have aimed towards sustainable farmers growth and development with use of modern technology.
