Well done vertical

Great to hear that you are expanding now,
Sorry could not call you lately, was stuck up in some or the other work

Comparing hydroponics and soil farming under polyhouse which one do you think is more economically viable and why ? If possible please share the figures as well

Congrats on your expansion, how much area are you going to do under polyhouse and hydroponics and whats the first crop that you are planning for ?

Just a few questions gauthAm. I am excited and looking forward to see your first commercial hydroponics project !!

Aman

Hi Aman,

I am starting with 10000 squire feet of poly house and 1 acre of Open land.

In poly house planning for Cucumbers,Lettuce,Broccoli.(Hydroponics)
In open land i am planing for soil culture and also try some 10000 squire feet on open Hydroponics .
Open Land i am planing for Musk melon, French Beans,Okra and some cherry tomato.

Only difference between Hydroponics and soil cultivation is the Nutrient supply method and medium.
My cost if Nutrient comes to around Rs.150 per 1000 litter of Nutrients.
Even if i calculate 1 litter of nutrient water per plant per day and calculate for cucumbers.
45 days Growth stage and 45 days Fruiting stage. so effectively 90 days of watering .

My nutrient cost per plant works to around Rs.14/-

I do not know what is the cost of fertilizer and bed making cost and other cost when it comes to soil cultivation so i am unable to answer your question on which is more economical.

I will go with Hydroponics as i feel it will give a better yield and more plants per squire feet area and can constantly supply the produce with out any kind of crop rotation.

Going for 4500 English Cucumbers Plants inside the poly house using Hydroponic Drip and Drain Method, expecting 4 KG yield per plant in 90 days , So can manage 4 crops a year.

Will Keep you posted soon.

Thanks Vertical for sharing your information!

Would like to know, why will you change the plants after every 3 months? Will not it be more economical, if you use the same plant for an year, as people are doing for capsicum in PH.

Iam also Goutam Sab requesting since a Long time.

Sorry for not posting any development.

But feel its the right time now :slight_smile:
