One of the main things required for farming is soil. However, scientists have discovered such a technology in which soil is not required for farming. Yes, the name of this technology is hydroponics. This is a technique in which farming can be done even without soil. In this technique, the crop is prepared at a very low cost. Any crop can be planted in it in any season. In hydroponics technology, the deficiency of nutrients required by plants can be easily compensated. With this technique, good yield can be obtained with less water.

After all, how is farming done without soil?
Farming done through hydroponics technique is done through pipes. For this, holes are made in the pipes and plants grow in these holes only. There is water in the pipes and the roots of the plants remain immersed in it. All types of essential nutrients required for the plant also dissolve in this water and the plant easily obtains it through the roots. A temperature of 15 to 30 degrees is suitable for cultivation with this technique, while a humidity of 80 to 85% is considered ideal.

Now you must understand how beneficial this technology is and seeing its benefits, the government is also promoting it among the farmers. The government is giving subsidies of up to 50% to farmers for farming using this technology. This means that the government pays half of the cost of using this technology and you only have to spend half the money. If you also want to avail the benefit of the subsidy available on this technology, then you should contact the agriculture officer of your area. You can also get this information on the agriculture website of your state or central government.
