micronutrients

Dr Salim Channiwala, a mechanical engineer and former director at Sardar Vallabhai National Institute of Technology in Surat, has developed a bio-organic liquid fertilizer made from slurry and 16 micronutrients.

The study showed that the food people consume was only catering to a small amount of the actual requirement of vitamins. Deficiencies mainly result from inadequate diet.

Hydroponics can play a vital role in changing the way we think about plant growth and may well be the future of gardening and farming.
