Does your company have a website? I would like to know more about bio control agents that you carry.

Atul Gupta and team, You need to celebrate mentally challenged day, you would make good hosts.

Just wanted to add a note: I can also help you with your initial experimentation with Hydroponics. Grow your own Cucumber, Tomato and peppers at home. Cheers!!!

Dear Mr. Prabhu, Your organic certification for the farm should take you about 5 years, which means legally you won't be able to sell your product as organic, have you thought of that? Do you intend to sell produce that is grown only on your farms or you will also sell from other growers? If...

Have you decided which crops to grow or you need assistance on them as well?

Wow.....some of these comments are just amazing. ! hector which is about 10,000 sq. mt should cost you around 50 lakh for naturally ventilated green house with shade net. You will get 25% subsidy from govt of India. Regards Atul Kalaskar

Dear Mr. Dhavan, I am glad you mentioned about bee keeping. I am a hydroponic grower and we use bees a lot in our greenhouses for pollination. I am wondering if you are aware of Bumble bees or other bees which are of similar type which we can use for pollination? Do let me know. Your comment...

Hi, Vijay is right. There is a good potential for color capsicum. Mainly Red and Yellow sell very well. Purple comes next. Most other colors are really for hobby growers. Namdhari seeds are excellent but they cost a lot more. At 8.50 per seed it seems expensive to start with but their...

aaha.....you preach but don't practice.... No more explanation needed. We rather discuss with farmers and not sales agents.

Instead of giving some third part examples which cannot be verified can you show what is on your farm or are you just a copy / paste specialist? Have you done any scientific analysis? Half the stuff you paste is not even worth reading.

Hi there, This is Atul Kalaskar from Pune. We have been involved in controlled environment Hydroponics cultivation of Strawberry, Color peppers and Melons. View our proof of concept project YouTube - straw berrry in poly house 7/12 Controlling environment at Kolkatta would be a challenge as...

Hydroponics is really limited by your appetite for investment. On a smaller scale you can start with your terrace and on commercial level you should at least have half an acre of production area. Prerequisites could be many but that really depends on your (consultant's) resourcefulness and...

I am sure you know, people can't just label their product "Organic". It has to be certified by a competent authority. This process takes more than 3 years at the least. Any farmer who puts in so much effort will proudly label their product organic and will demand more money. How come your so...

Did you conveniently missed the following point? One of the Organic Grape Farmer, Mr. Siddiki, At. Po. Ausa, Dist Latur, was the only farmers, whose grapes (two containers) passed the test (pesticide residual test) by the buyer in Europe. Since when Organic certified food required testing for...

One of the Organic Grape Farmer, Mr. Siddiki, At. Po. Ausa, Dist Latur, was the only farmers, whose grapes (two containers) passed the test (pesticide residual test) by the buyer in Europe. Since when Organic certified food required testing for pesticide Residue? This either means those who...

Hi, It's a common knowledge that plants grow best in idea environment and their yield under those circumstances is most optimum in quantity and quality. It is also a common knowledge that such conditions rarely come together. Hydroponics basically is a way to use appropriate technology to...

Hi TR, I can understand the frustration. It is easy to just put down some miraculous claims not backed by any scientific data and trying to lure naive entrepreneurial talent into wasting their money. I did put in over 3 years of quality time researching and studying Hydroponics and I have...

Let us not change the focus of the blog. It is for success stories of the farmers. Inorganic or otherwise. I would also like to say that just stories will just inspire but details will ensure the participation. Hope we get some good and reliable materials which one can visit and learn from.

Dear Igrower, I certainly do agree about joy part and it's been my pleasure when I did the proof of concept at Pune. Take a look at the link below. YouTube - straw berrry in poly house 7/12 This will also prove that Strawberry in coco peat with nutrients from natural salts is also very desirable.

Twenty years back no body believed India would be a super power in IT, Let me say it loud here "20 years from now, India will be the super market to the world"
