Title

Comparative cultivation of Spinacia oleracea grown in Balcony hydroponic systems and traditional soil systems

Abstract

The majority of India’s population relies on agriculture for food production. With the adverse environmental effects of agricultural practices, increasing levels of pollution and climate change, urbanization, natural disasters, and extensive use of chemicals and pesticides, leading to the depletion of soil nutrients, India's agriculture and food security are destabilized, resulting in loss of crop productivity. As a result, economically depressed farmers commit suicide. In Maharashtra (India), the news of farmers committing mass suicide has recently gained worldwide attention. With the rising world population, the demand for food production is increasing. Developing sustainable methods to increase food production is one of the major concerns of the world. To avoid food crises in the future, strategic planning and development of novel agricultural and planting system techniques are required. We tested balcony hydroponics with a cost, time, and space-efficient human-centered design strategy. This study attempted to investigate the ability of spinacia oleracea in deep water culture (DWC) and Kratky systems compared to the conventional soil-based method with black cotton and red laterite soil. Various morphological characteristics, such as the shoot/root ratio, height, number of leaves, and survival rates of seedlings are compared. The data are analyzed using an unequal variance t-test. The test hypothesis is that the planting systems have a significant effect on the shoot/root ratio of the plant or not. The results indicated that the DWC planting system has a significant effect on plant growth. In addition, compared to the Kratky and conventional soil-based method, other physiological parameter values are recorded highest in plants grown in the DWC system. The experiment aimed to achieve a planting system that can increase food productivity and practice sustainable farming with minimum cost and natural resources.
