Business Idea: The way in which the population is increasing in the present era, due to this the size of agriculture is shrinking. In such a situation, the day is not far when vegetables and vegetables will be grown in factories. Israel has started farming through a new technology. Its name is Vertical Farming. Not only this, farming has started in India through this technology. A similar project of a company (AS Agri and Aqua LLP) is also going on in Maharashtra, in which how to do vertical farming of turmeric is being done.
This vertical farming is such a technology, in which if you cultivate in 1 acre, then its yield will be equal to 100 acres. That is, the area you get in one acre, you get an area equal to 100 acres.
Know what is vertical farming
A large set has to be made for vertical farming. Whose temperature is kept from 12 to 26 degree Celsius. Then in this, the pipe is set vertically in long and wide containers of about 2-3 feet. In this the upper part is kept open. In which turmeric is cultivated. Although most people do vertical farming in hydroponic or aquaponic way, in which soil is not used, but soil is used in it. To control the temperature, foggers are installed, which start raining water as soon as the temperature rises and the temperature becomes normal. Once the pipe is installed, there is no need to change the pipe for a long time.

Know how vertical farming is done
According to media reports, if turmeric is to be grown through vertical farming, then turmeric seeds are sown in a zig-zag manner at a distance of 10-10 cm. As turmeric grows, its leaves move outwards from the edge space. Turmeric does not require much sunlight and it gives good yield even in shade, in such a situation, a very good production of turmeric can be taken by the technique of vertical farming. Turmeric crop is ready in 9 months. Turmeric can be reapplied immediately after harvesting. That is, turmeric can be harvested 4 times in 3 years. Whereas in normal farming, the crop can be taken only once in 1 year, because the weather has to be taken care of.
Advantages of Vertical Farming
In this, you do not have to depend on the weather for farming, that is, you can do farming whenever you want. This cultivation takes place in a completely closed space, so there is no possibility of damage by insects or damage by rain or storm, provided there is no damage to your shed. This type of farming also saves a lot of water in irrigation. However, foggers do consume water.
