Major reason why Hydroponic farming has advantage over soil grown crops

-
Hydroponic is the modern technology of the agriculture.  Hydroponic farming in the innovating the future of agriculture  due to following reason. you can start hydroponic farming by investing small amount of money. If you have small area having less fertile soil so you can start hydroponic farming. Hydroponic farming has more benefit and more advantage over soil grown crop these are  as follow :- 1.  Faster growing  According to studies hydroponic farming is the 50% faster growing over traditional farming. This is because by providing a constant and available nutrients to the plants regular so it grow faster. this farming also eliminate the herbicide and pesticide. the nutrients are directly given to the plant through water and favorable environment also a major reason of faster growing plant. 2. Better yield According to studies hydroponic farming produces 80% higher yield because you can mange the nutrients and environment condition like temperature, light, mo...

Advantage and disadvantage of No-tillage farming

-
Advantages :-

1. Higher yield:-
No-till can increase yield because of higher water infiltration and storage capacity, and less erosion. Acc. To KFMA programs the yield per acre of corn soybean, wheat, and grain sorghum for no till farms has a higher yield  than the average yield from other tillage practice  for the same region and crop . 

2. Less labour required:-
Some studies have found that no till farming can be more profitable in some case. It may reduce labour, fuel, irrigation, and machinery costs. The farmer can save higher amount of money from these reduces. 

3. Clean environment:-
No-till improve the climate change in the atmosphere. No till improve the environment condition due to less gases released due to crop residue burning or ploughing. 
According to 2003 study agriculture has released an estimated 78 billion metric tons of carbon in the last few centuries. Due to release of carbon dioxide and other gases cause global warming.  No till farming also reduce the climate stress in the atmosphere. 

4.

Zero-till Improve soil and reduce soil erosion. No ploughing also help in less airborne dust. It maintain the soil moisture and improving the water retention intensity. 

5. Improve soil moisture :-
Improve water retention i. e crop residue helps from natural precipitation and irrigation to infiltration the soil. 
Reduce evaporation, conservation water. Evaporation from tilling reduces the amount of water by around 1/3 to 3/4 inches. 

6. Less released Greenhouse gases:-
Acc. To 2003 study agriculture has released an estimated 78 billion metric tons of carbon in the last few centuries. The agriculture practice may release 5% of the gases to the atmosphere that help in a climate change and cause global warming. 
No till farming reduces nitrogen oxide emission by 40-70% depending on rotation. 

DISADVANTAGES :-


1. Initial cost of no - till  is high:-
The initial investment for no -till machinery is very high. The machinery of the no tillage is very costly. Some farmer can't afford the machines for tillage. The farmer must maintain field for zero till. 

2. Risk of plant disease :-
There is risk of carrying over plant diseases when crop residue is not incorporated into the soil after harvest. This can act as a host of disease and can infect the following crop.
