Hydroponics is a technology that can change Indian agriculture by growing plants without soil. It has several advantages over traditional agriculture like lower water usage, precise nutrient control, higher yields, and fewer pests. Hydroponic greenhouses use various systems like grow bags, troughs, or nutrient film technique to cultivate crops without soil. They control the environment and precisely deliver nutrients to plants. Hydroponics is estimated to be used on 500 acres in India already and can help address issues of depleted land and fluctuating weather. It produces nutritious crops year-round with less resource usage and pest problems than traditional farming.

Agriculture out of the soil is to use any means that will cultivate and plant development without entering the soil as a mediator for agriculture, where cultivated plants in isolation from the soil as long as the system used allows to strengthen the plants and provide water needed for growth and nutrients as it is the system followed for growing plants in the natural soil environment with irrigated nutrients intravenously instead of plain water and may be used a solid material such as gravel, sand, peatmoss, perlite and vermiculite in some cases as supporting mediators. Agriculture outside of soil is including hydro agriculture (Hydroponics), aqua agriculture (Aquaponics), aerobic agriculture (Aeroponics) as well as agriculture using supportive mediators. Benefits of soilless cultures include the reservation of cultivated lands for main crops; save not less than 90% of irrigated water; use nearly recycled fixed amount of water; most vegetable crops succeed and give the highest productivity in soilless agriculture than the ordinary agriculture; It can be run in various places such as balconies, roofs of buildings, various greenhouses and lands unsuitable for cultivation; the provision of fertilizer materials, where it’s used rationed amounts calculated accurately nutrients according to the plant requirements; Ease of dealing with plants and ease of conducting the required protection operations against various pests.

Fish molasses as indigenous nutrient source in the growth and yield of econom...Open Access Research Paper
Simple Nutrient Addition Production (SNAP) hydroponics production system in this system any container with cover can be used as long as it can contain approximately 2 liters of solution. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of economically important vegetables grown in SNAP hydroponics and conventional production system. The experimental was laid out in a simple Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The variable used was method of growing that consists of conventional (Container gardening) and SNAP hydroponics using fish molasses. Among of the four vegetables grown sweet pepper and lettuce performed well under the SNAP hydroponics system. The plants were taller, produced more leaves, matured earlier and had higher yield compared to those grown under the conventional production system. Both the broccoli and tomato did not perform well in SNAP hydroponics and conventional production system. Broccoli was succumbed by the attack of pest (Helecoverpa armegera ) while tomato was lodged due to strong winds.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

3. HydroponicsHydroponics
Hydro : Water Ponics : Labor
Many people think of hydroponics as growing plants in water, but
hydroponic production actually is defined as growing plants
without soil.
Plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient
solution only or in an inert medium such as Perlite, gravel, mineral
wool, expanded clay or coconut husk.
4. Advantages of HydroponicAdvantages of Hydroponic
Soilless Cultivation
Lower water costs
Control the nutrition levels
No nutrition pollution is released into the environment
Potential for stable and high yields
Pests and diseases are easier to get rid of than in soil
5. Challenges in Soil CultivationChallenges in Soil Cultivation
Depleting arable land
Loss of top fertile layer due to excessive tillage
Insufficient absorption of nutrients by plants due to leaching of fertilizers
into soil
Excessive water usage for irrigation
Pest and disease attacks
Fluctuating weather conditions leads to crop loss
Labor intensive
7. FootstepsFootsteps
Past & Present Usage of HydroponicsPast & Present Usage of Hydroponics
The early use of Hydroponics system is dated back to Babylonians
civilization. Early Aztecs also made use of hydroponics systems, but the use
of nutrients and minerals in hydroponics systems started developing post
1800. In India, it was first developed in Bengal during the 1946-1947 periods.
Now, NASA uses hydroponics system to grow crops in outer space where
space and soil are not available. Hydroponic farming has now been adopted
by farmers worldwide to grow crops commercially. It is estimated that in
India, area of approx. 500 acres is already under hydroponic cultivation.

Primary nutrients- A range of specialized hydroponic two-part and three-part
base nutrients (N-P-K), both organic and synthetic, which blends all the required
macro and micronutrients in specific ratios corresponding to the growth cycle of
the plant.
Root enhancers- This class of nutrients include enzymes, beneficial bacteria and
fungi that facilitate root growth, ensures faster uptake of nutrients and protects
against nematodes, pathogens and root rot.
Supplements- Imparts natural carrier compounds, enhance cellular metabolism,
germination rate and immunity of the plants. We formulate a variety of special
supplements that flushes your crops off the unwanted materials, revives the plants
from nutrient deficiencies and cut down the probability of crop loss.

Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
Basic Hydroponic Systems
18. Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
NFT is a hydroponic growing method
in which the plants have their roots
partly submerged in a shallow stream
of recirculating water containing all
the required growth nutrients and
where there is no solid rooting
medium.
The upper surface of the root mat
which develops above the water,
although it is moist, is in the air. So
around the roots which are in the air,
there is a film of nutrient solution -
hence the name nutrient film
technique (NFT). (Cooper 1979).
20. Benefits of HydroponicBenefits of Hydroponic
Greenhouse CultivationGreenhouse Cultivation
No soil is needed.
The water stays in the system and can be
reused - lower water consumption.
It is possible to control the nutrition
levels.
Stable, higher yields & shorter times
between harvests.
Produces highly nutritious, attractive
