Commercial Hydroponics Farming in India

Commercial Farms employ different types of growing systems that are suitable for the crop growth. At Hyperfarms, we decide the growing system based on the crop, market, weather and budget for the farm. Broadly the growing systems are categorized into two. Hydroculture and Substrate culture.

Hydroculture – Growing Crops in Water

In Hydroculture, the plants are grown in nutrient rich water. Hyperfarms offers the following types of growing systems. These systems save upto 80% of water when compared to conventional way of growing. Uniform and clean produce is an additional advantage

NFT SYSTEM – SINGLE LAYER

NFT stands for Nutrient Film Technique in which a thin film of nutrient rich water flows through the channel where the roots are in contact with water.

NFT Systems offer excellent capabilities for clean and safe food production. With our modularly designed systems, planting, harvesting and cleaning is such a breeze.

DEEP WATER CULTURE

Deep water culture is also called Pond culture, where the crops are planted on a floating raft placed on a shallow pool of nutrient rich water.

Deep Water Culture systems are a great fit for areas with very hot weather conditions. It offers excellent buffering to high temperature in the rootzone. Hyperfarms offers DWC systems for leafy crops.

NFT – MULTILAYER

For urban gardens with space contraints, Hyperfarms offers a unique multi-layer NFT growing system. With 30% increase in yield, urban farms become more efficient.
