What are the best plants for vertical garden?
Government Launches the vertical garden scheme with a 75% subsidy, apply before March 1 and start its vertical farm in Solo RS 5,835
The vertical garden structure costs RS 20,000, and the state horticultural mission will give a subsidy of 75 percent for an initial period. A unit will include 16 pots, and when a consumer buys a structure, they will receive all the necessary items, including fertilizers and seeds.
Green cultivated
Applications for the Vertical Garden Plan, which was launched in Kerala by the Horticulture State Mission (SHM), as part of the mission of the integrated development of horticulture, can now be done online. The deadline to send an online application is March 1.
Vertical garden 'Arka'
The main components of the Vertical Arka Garden are a base frame of a single-meter meter, the main central support connected to the base frame and supporters for pots / culture bags, all of which are designed to accommodate 16 Macetas of various sizes and forms at four. Different levels of height. A 25-liter plastic container is placed on top of the structure to store water, and are used side, microtubes and droplets that drop to water the plants. Along with the structure, seeds and supplies will be given for plant nutrition management and plant protection. Chilli, Brinjal, Tomato, Radish, Legumes, such as French beans and cluster beans, and green vegetables such as spinach, amaranth and cilantro, can all be cultivated.
Scheme : eligibility conditions.
The beneficiary must be native to the regions of the Ernakulam Corporation, Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Trichur, Kozhikode and Kannur districts.
The selection of the beneficiary will be prioritized based on the date of submission of the application.
Vertical Agriculture: A general description on different types of vertical agriculture system
By 2050, it is estimated that the world population reaches 9 billion, putting a huge tension in existing natural resources and increasing the demand for food, which requires the intensification of agricultural production. In addition, due to increased power of consumer expenditures and changing consumer preferences, such as organic desire or free pollution, it is increasing.
In addition, pollution and environmental degradation caused by traditional cultivation techniques are causing academics and professionals to develop more respectful agricultural approaches, such as net greenhouse / shadow agriculture, terrace agriculture, the Urban agriculture and vertical agriculture.
Vertical agriculture is a focus of this type, which has the potential to resolve concerns such as environmental degradation and growing demand for food by increasing food production.
The Garden structure of Vertical Arka should not be used for nothing more than the aforementioned goal of the project.
The beneficiary must comply with the regular inspection of the Horticulture Mission of the State so that the project is implemented effectively.
The selected beneficiaries must pay the State Horticulture Mission: Kerala the RS 5835 / - Beneficiary's contribution (25 percent of the total cost) in advance.
The list of final beneficiaries for the provision of AVG structures will be established when the beneficiary's payment is received in the bank account of the State Horticulture Mission. The supply of structures will be divided into three grooves, each with 110 units.
At the time of installing the structure of the Vertical Arka Garden, the recipient must be present.
Vertical garden subsidy
Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kozhikode and Kannur Corporations have planned to distribute 330 units in fiscal year 2021-22. The cost of a unit is RS23,340. The SHM will provide 75% of the total sum, which is RS17.505. The recipient is responsible for the remaining 25%, which is RS 5,835).
The different methods of vertical agriculture are classified according to the type and processes used. There are three types of vertical agriculture systems:
1) Despondent Skyscraper
2) Skyscraper for mixed use.
3) Stacking shipping containers
1) Despondent Skyscraper
Dickson Descommier, a microbiologist at Columbia University, says that existing culture techniques, which currently occupy 41% of the land of the planet, will not be able to provide food demands for a population that grows exponentially. As a result, he foresees skyscrapers with vertically stacked shelves where cultures can be produced by mass under confined and regulated conditions that are not affected by climate.
As a result, skyscrapers can be built at any location, regardless of agronomic restrictions. Vertical agriculture, according to a school of thought, consumes less energy and produces less contamination than traditional agricultural methods because it can be combined with renewable energy technologies. All solar panels, wind turbines and hydroelectric power can be used to meet the energy needs of these structures, whether alone or in combination. Because the citizens of the area can work on these vertical farms to make a living, vertical agriculture has the potential to create many jobs.
2) Skyscrapers for mixed use
Traditional agricultural practices combine with the idea of vertical agriculture in these skyscrapers. Instead of cultivating crops in a highly regulated and closed environment, the crops are cultivated in natural sunlight, such as the upper floors of an office building that gets the greatest sunlight, in such skyscrapers. Mixed-use skyscrapers have a benefit over skyscrapers of disorder, as they require less original cost. The skyscrapers of deprommier, on the other hand, require that all the environment within the structure is regulated and supervised according to the requirements of the crop.
3) Stacking shipping containers
Shipping containers are used to cultivate lush green vegetables, luxury mushrooms and berries in this vertical agriculture system. In metropolitan areas, these stacked reused shipping containers can be employed.
The shipping containers are equipped with hydroponic components, LED bulbs, temperature control and heating and ventilation systems, and detectors to monitor the environmental condition within the containers by companies.
