Madhya Pradesh occupies a special place in increasing the productivity of potatoes in the country. However, the production is not being met according to the demand for potatoes. Despite cultivating by the traditional methods, farmers are not getting proper production and profits. In such a situation, farmers can get better production and profit by adopting the aeroponic method.
Under this, the state government has started working on aeroponic, a new method of potato production. With the help of aeroponic, this difficulty for the farmers will end because through this method potato cultivation can be done in the air. That means no land will be needed for potato cultivation. Along with this, different seed varieties of potatoes can also be prepared with the help of aeroponic.
Explain that in the aeroponic method, farming is done in poly house. Where potato plants are grown in the air and their roots hang down in the dark. The crop is irrigated with a fountain installed at the bottom. In this fountain, essential nutrients found in the soil are mixed with water. In this way, the plant gets the necessary nutrients along with sunlight and its full development takes place in the air itself.
However, the state government has started work to set up its first unit in Gwalior. Through this, information will be given to the farmers about different seed varieties and aeroponic methods of potatoes in the state. Whereby adopting this method, farmers will get manifold productivity and profits will increase.
