LITERATURE REVIEW

1) Hydroponics as an advanced technique for vegetable production


Authored by Nisha Sharma, Somen Acharya, Kaushal Kumar, Narendra Singh
and O.P. Chaurasia, in the Journal of Soil and Water Conservation 17(4): 364-371,
October-December 2018 ISSN: 022-457X, This article discuss various hydroponic
structures viz. wick, ebb and flow, drip, deep water culture and Nutrient Film
Technique (NFT) system; their operations; benefit and limitations; performance of
different crops and water conservation by this technique. It also talks about the pH
and electric conductivity required for organic soilless farming.

2) A review on plant without soil – Hydroponics

Professor, MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi Pune, Maharashtra, India. ISSN:
2319 – 1163, Vol 2 Issue 3, This article discusses various technologies available for
Soilless farming and comparison of the performance of various crop in soil and
soilless cultivation.

3) Soilless farming – the next generation Green evolution


Authored by Bikram Pradhan and Bandita Deo, published in Current Science, Vol.
116, No. 5, this paper discusses about the origin of soil less farming and it’s present
form throughout the world. Also, discusses all the important parameters of soilless
farming and its large-scale implementation.

4) Challenges and possibilities in Hydroponics: an Indian perspective


Authored by Shailesh Solanki, Nitish Gaurav, Geetha Bhawani and Abhinav
Kumar, published in International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR), this paper
focus on the challenges and possibilities to bring soil less farming in India, to ensure
its stability so that it may prove more beneficial for growing crops which are 100%
organic, toxic free and of better quality.

5) Integration of Vertical Farming and Hydroponics:


Authored by Awadhesh Kumar, published in Acta Scientific Agriculture (ISSN:
2581-365X) Volume 3, Issue 2, 2019 this paper talks about the inclusion of Vertical
farming with Hydroponics farming and its impact on the agricultural yield.
METHODOLOGY

This project report deals with two operations management problems namely Product
Planning and Product Forecasting, in order to achieve these goals, we have divided the
project in two parts which are as follows:
1. Analysis of large-scale implementation of Hydroponics Farming

In order to analyze the product planning in a Hydroponics plant, we used primary as


well as secondary research data that depicts current hydroponic farmer’s experience
and the problems that they have faced. Using this analysis, we have identified the
various factors that affect the functioning of Hydroponic Plants.
We started with first identifying the major Hydroponic Plants in India. These are
namely:
 Acqua Farms, Chennai
 Letcetra Agritech, Goa
 Future Farms, Chennai
 Triton Foodworks, Delhi
After the identification of these Hydroponics Plants, we started with secondary
research data to know more about the services that they offer.
After this, we contacted these service providers to know more about the factors and
the degree to which it impacts their production planning.

2. Forecasting of large-scale implementation of Hydroponics Farming

This is the second part of report which is in process and will be completed before
comprehensive examination.
In order to forecast large scale implementation of Hydroponics Farming, we will first
analyse how much percentage of India’s current production is organic and inorganic
vegetation. We will then do a survey which will aim at finding the percentage of
India’s population that prefer Organic Vegetables.
After the Population analysis, we would take into account other factors like land and
water usage in Hydroponic Farming as compared to the traditional farming methods
and analyse how these factors can affect the current production in India.
Using all this information, we will draw inference on the scope of Hydroponics
Farming in India and forecast the percentage increase in accordance with the survey
and other factors to meet the needs of Indian Population.
