India is witnessing a significant shift in its vegetable farming scene, moving away from traditional open fields to cutting-edge vertical systems. As urban areas expand and challenges like water shortages and unpredictable weather put pressure on conventional farming, vertical farming stands out as a promising and sustainable alternative. These vertical farms leverage techniques such as hydroponics and aeroponics, along with controlled environments, to produce vegetables that are not only high-yield but also space-efficient and resilient to climate changes. In this article, we delve into the transformation of vegetable farming in India, the emergence of urban agritech startups, and the various socio-economic advantages of embracing vertical farming. We will also shine...

सूक्ष्म शैवाल और बैक्टीरिया: पर्यावरण-अनुकूल सब्जी उत्पादन के लिए एक अदभुत जोड़ी Contemporary agriculture's reliance on chemical fertilizers has led to significant environmental pollution and degradation of soil fertility. As an alternative, microalgae and plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have emerged as potential biofertilizers due to their ability to enhance soil fertility through the production of bioactive compounds, such as phytohormones, amino acids, and carotenoids, and their capacity to suppress plant pathogens. Traditionally, agricultural treatments have focused on single-species applications of either microalgae or bacteria. However, recent experimental evidence highlights that a symbiotic relationship between microalgae and bacteria can positively influence each other's physiological and metabolic processes. This synergistic interaction is particularly promising...

संरक्षित खेती के तहत हाईटेक सब्जी उत्पादन Protected cultivation is the finest alternative and drudgery-free strategy for managing land and other resources more efficiently in the current context of everlasting need for vegetables and significantly shrinking land holdings. The natural environment is changed to optimal circumstances for optimum plant growth in a protected environment (greenhouse, glasshouse, or polyhouse), resulting in high-quality veggies. Greenhouses are often coated with plastic film that allows solar radiation to flow through while trapping the thermal radiation emitted by the plants inside. The CO2 generated by the plants at night is kept inside, increasing photosynthesis rates throughout the day. The humidity inside is also raised by evaporation from the...
