Soilless Farming in Vegetable Crops
Soil-less cultivation is a new advanced method for improving cultivation of different vegetable crops. It is a method of growing vegetables without the using soil as a rooting medium, in which the inorganic nutrients absorbed by the roots are supplied through irrigation water. It includes hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics. Hydroponics is the growing of vegetables in a fed with a solution containing a mixture of macro and micro-nutrients. Aquaponics is the technique in which, aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish, prawns, etc., are grown in tanks with combination of hydroponics with vegetables are grown in water in a symbiotic environment. In aeroponics system, sealed root chamber is used as reservoir for nutrient solution where the plants above the reservoir cover with polystyrene/other material. It must be supported or hanged through holes in the expanded cover and are misted with nutrient solution to keep it always moist. Soil- less cultivation has been followed in number of vegetables such as, tomato, chilli, brinjal, green bean, bell pepper, cauliflower, cucumber, melons, radish, onion, lettuce, beet, winged beans, water spinach, spinach, coriander, and so on. Soil-less cultivation helps in early nursery raising and easy management, production of healthy vegetable seedlings free from disease, insects and pest. It has various benefits like; year-round production and off season, higher productivity and uniform quality, management of insect-pests, diseases and weeds is easier which helps in more efficient and less use of resources. Soilless culture is rapidly gaining its popularity and get accepted in many countries, especially in commercial vegetable production. Soilless culture could well dominate food production in the future As population increases and cultivable land declines due to poor land management, so people turn towards new technologies like soilless culture. In order to popularize soilless culture, it is very important to provide scientifically proven results for awareness and massive production of vegetable through soilless farming system and with this advanced technologies and techniques involved in soilless vegetable cultivation can be said as next-generation crop science hence, it can open a doorway to establish a new civilization in outer space.

Fruits and Vegetables Processing Technology
This document discusses fruits and vegetables processing technology. It covers topics like the objectives of fruit and vegetable processing, crop production statistics, general properties and classification of fruits and vegetables, their chemical composition, sources of color and color changes, post-harvest physiological changes, and factors that affect nutrient retention like pH, air, light, heat, and cooking. The overall goal of fruit and vegetable processing is to supply safe, nutritious food to consumers throughout the year.
Processing of fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables can be preserved through canning, freezing, or drying. Canning involves heat processing foods in sealed containers to kill microorganisms. Freezing slows microbial growth and chemical changes by reducing the temperature. Drying removes moisture from foods to prevent spoilage. Selection, washing, peeling or cutting, and appropriate packaging are important preprocessing steps for many preservation methods. Canning, freezing, and drying all aim to preserve the nutritional value and quality of fruits and vegetables for later consumption.

The goal is to establish a low-maintenance permaculture system for food production, education, and community involvement that addresses the client's goals and applies permaculture principles.
Plant Resource Horticulture and gardening
Economic use of plant resources, Medicinal Plants, gardening. All the basic garden plants along with gardening techniques, beneficial plants and their acitve components, cultivation practices, useful plants along with their botanical name and family. Medicinal plants, also called medicinal herbs, have been discovered and used in traditional medicine practices since prehistoric times. Plants synthesize hundreds of chemical compounds for various functions, including defense and protection against insects, fungi, diseases, and herbivorous mammals.Owing to fast paced world that we are living in, we are getting far from the nature. While the lifestyle that we live can have adverse effect on us, it is important to know that by introducing small changes in our daily life can go a long way in keeping us healthy and energetic. Therefore, the importance of Ayurveda holds true in today’s life as it is based on the principal of bringing us close to nature and relying on its natural powers to cure us and keep us healthy without any side effects.
Thanks to the use of natural ingredients and medicinal herbs, Ayurvedic medicines and products today have become a symbol of safety in contrast to synthetic drugs that are considered unsafe and hazardous for overall health.
One way of understanding the basic fundamentals of Indian Ayurved is to spend more time with nature and observe the plants and herbs. Each plant or herb has a specific quality and can be used to treat multitude of ailments and diseases. Medicinal plants like aloe, turmeric, tulsi, pepper, elachi and ginger are commonly used in a number of Ayurvedic home remedies and are considered to be the best aid among fighting ailments related to throat and skin. As a rich source of nutrients, anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties, ayurvedic herbs are non-toxic in nature and so the products or remedies made using them are often recommended for their high therapeutic value.
Treatment with herbal medicinal plants also hold a strong ground because these plants are considered to be safe and have no side effects. Since they are in sync with nature, they hold greater advantage over chemically treated products and synthetic medicines. As opposed to other drugs and medicines, Ayurvedic herbs are known to treat the disease from the root and thus aid in keeping you healthy and fit in the long run.

- 3. LOCAL FOODS Food security Economic security Food safety Socially responsible Environmentally responsible
- 4. The local foods movement - Lovavores Sourcing locally grown food is now just as important as sourcing organically grown foods – FreshPointe Regional Sales Manager, Orlando Homegrown Coop - Local Food Cooperative Local Harvest website http://www.localharvest.org/
- 5. Hydroponics : Definition • Growing plants without soil in a liquid or soilless media with a mineral nutrient solution
- 6. Hydroponics • Greenhouse or outdoor systems • Environmental and labor friendly • High tech and low tech systems
- 7. Hydroponics • Crop sensitive - production/environment and cost factors to consider • Requires a complete nutrient solution as soilless conditions usually have no nutrients • pH recommendation range from 5.5-6.5
- 8. Variety of Hydroponic Systems Based on Nutrient Flow or Type of Media • RE-CIRCULATING SYSTEMS • FLOW THROUGH SYSTEMS • FLOOD AND DRAIN SYSTEMS • NON-CIRCULATING SYSTEMS • WATER ONLY – NFT OR FLOATING RAFT • PERLITE OR ROCKWOOL • PINE BARK OR GRAVEL • PEAT OR COCONUT HUSK

- 17. Vertical Systems
- 18. Irrigation & Nutrient Management • Most commercial systems require irrigation controller • Fertilizer injection system (approx $500)
- 19. Tomato • Primary Crops – Cluster tomato shown grown in perlite bags • Cluster Tomato – Vine ripened – Aroma of stems and calyx
- 20. Postharvest Handling Tender leafy vegetables must be used immediately or refrigerated – herbs, lettuce, spinach, etc. Other must be used soon or refrigerated – cucumber, pepper, squash, broccoli, etc. Watermelons, butternut or acorn squash, pumpkins, and tomatoes, can be stored at room temperature but will last longer when cool…slows ripening

- 24. FLOOD AND DRAIN TROUGH SYSTEMS
- 25. Greenhouse Herbs • Popularity increasing • Possible organic certification
- 28. Floating Raft Systems in Florida
- 30. Marketing, Marketing, Marketing • The break even price for hydroponics is usually higher than conventional agriculture. • Example with tomatoes - $.50 per lb for field grown vs $1.00 per lb for hydroponic tomatoes. • Don’t plant unless you know for sure where you are going to sell it!
