Hydroponics is a soilless gardening technique where plants' roots absorb nutrients dissolved in water, meeting plants' developmental needs. It became popular in the 1920s when a scientist commercialized laboratory experiments growing plants without soil. Hydroponics allows for higher yields using less space as plants receive precisely controlled nutrient-rich solutions. Various systems precisely regulate pH, temperature, and nutrients to maximize plant growth. While requiring more management, hydroponics eliminates pests and weeds while producing healthier plants that reach maturity faster. It is a practical technique for growing any vegetable with definite advantages over conventional soil-based methods.

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.
Soilless Agriculture (Hydroponics/ Water/ Nutrient Culture)Jupite Mark Banayag
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
4. Introduction
Hydroponic is a technique for
growing plants without or less
soil. Utilizing this technology,
the roots absorb balance
nutrient dissolve in water that
meets all the plant
developmental requirements.
5. HISTORY
Hydroponics became popularized by the news
media in the 1920s when a scientist named Dr.
William F. Gericke of the University of California
put laboratory experiments in plant nutrition on
a commercial scale. So he termed these
nutriculture systems HYDROPONICS.
The word was derived from the Greek words,
HYDRO (water), and PONOS (labor), literally
“water working”.
6. Why grow plants Hydroponically?
Some hydroponic growers got many times
greater yields than conventional methods.
Because hydroponically grown plants dip
their roots directly into nutrient-rich
solutions, they get what they need much
more easily than plants growing in soil.
With smaller roots, you can grow more
plants in the same area and more yield.
Many pests are carried in soil, so doing
without it generally gives you a more
hygienic growing system with fewer
7. Materials Used in Hydroponics
Coco Coir has an excellent air
to water ratio and with great
water retention
8. Materials Used in Hydroponics
Potting soil (Perlite) -
Perlite + Coco Coir +
Vermiculite
are puffed/ heated to
produce light and porous
material
9. Materials Used in Hydroponics
Perlite is a naturally occurring
mineral that is added to garden
soil to improve aeration, water
retention, and drainage. It looks
like small, white Styrofoam balls
and is commonly found in
potting soil and seed-starting
mixes.
10. Materials Used in Hydroponics
Vermiculite is a naturally
occurring mineral that takes the
form of glossy flakes, varying in
color from dark gray to sandy
brown.
Vermiculite helps to aerate soil
while simultaneously retaining
water and nutrients, which it then
releases over time.
11. Materials Used in Hydroponics
Carbonized rice hull +
sand = Ratio (2:1)
12. Nutrient Solutions
In Hydroponics, nutrient control
is easy.
A nitrogen-rich Grow Formula.
A phosphorous and potassium-
rich Bloom Formula & The
results? Bumper crops of
delicious fruits and vegetables
13. Nutrient Solutions
Plants require 17 essential elements to
grow and reproduce
The first three are Hydrogen, oxygen and
carbon
Other 14 are: Macro-Elements: Nitrogen,
Phosphorous, Potassium, Calcium,
Magnesium Sulfur Microelements: Iron,
Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Boron ,
Chlorine, Molybdenum, Nickel
15. ADVANTAGES
Higher yields achieved in a smaller space.
Nutrients precisely controlled.
Grow, bloom and boost formulas used at the appropriate
growth stage.
Indoor gardens grown using full-spectrum horticultural
lighting.
Soil-borne pests and diseases are eliminated.
Weeds are eliminated.
Plants are healthier and reach maturity faster.
16. DISADVANTAGES
Cost of initial investment
Production is management, capital and labor intensive.
A high level of expertise is required.
Daily attention is necessary.
Specially formulated soluble nutrients must always be
used.
Some water born diseases can spread rapidly in
recirculation system.
17. WHAT CAN WE GROW?
ANY VEGETABLE THAT YOU CAN THINK OF.

21. CONCLUSION
Progress has been rapid, and results obtained in
various countries have proved that this technology is
thoroughly practical and has very definite
advantages over conventional methods of crop
production. The main advantages of soil-less
cultivation is the much higher crop yields. People
living in crowded city streets, without gardens, can
grow fresh vegetables and sterile areas can be made
productive at relatively low cost.
22. The way to get
started is to quit
talking and begin
doing.
