Have you come across any other advanced farming technology in your locality? If yes, describe the technology.
Advanced farming technologies that may be found in localities include several modern agricultural methods.
Aeroponics is a technique where plant roots are suspended in air and misted with nutrient solution.
Polyhouse farming involves controlled environment agriculture with regulated temperature, humidity and light.
Drip irrigation systems provide precise water delivery to plant roots.
Vertical farming consists of growing crops in vertically stacked layers.
Precision farming uses sensors and automation for efficient cultivation.
The Government of India promotes technologies like hydroponics and aeroponics through the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture.
Explanation
The chapter mentions on Page 4 that technologies like hydroponics and aeroponics are being promoted by the Government of India through the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture. It also discusses polyhouses for controlling climatic parameters like temperature, humidity and light (Page 5).
Solution Steps
Aeroponics involves suspending plant roots in air and misting them with nutrient solution.
Polyhouse farming allows for controlled environment agriculture with regulated temperature, humidity, and light.
Drip irrigation systems provide precise water delivery directly to plant roots.
Vertical farming involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers.
Precision farming utilizes sensors and automation.
The Government of India promotes hydroponics and aeroponics through the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture.
