Cultivation Of Seeds of Vigna Radiata and Cicer Arietinum Using the Water Farming

Abstract

In India, hydroponics was introduced in year 1946 by an English scientist west Bengal. It is a methodof growing plant using mineral nutrient solutions without soil. Sand is useful as a growing medium forplants that require a dry environment with loose soil. Excessive water will produce runoff and not soakinto sand as it would in clay. All essential nutrients are supplied to soilless culture plants in the form of nutrients olution; nutrition is easily achieved in soil less culture than in soil. The chickpea is rich source of vitamins, fibers and minerals; it provides variety of health benefits like aiding weight management, improving digestion and lessens the risk of several diseases. The chickpea is high in protein and it is the best way to replace meat in vegetarian and vegan diets. Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is a leguminous pulse crop for its use as a vegetable protein source, animal fodder and green manure, it contains is oflavonoids having estrogen and antioxidant activities that used in prevention of much diseases such as cancer, it also exhibits antimicrobial and insecticidal activities. Thus we selected Seeds of Vigna plant and Cicer plant were taken to study root and shoot development through hydoponics. For a certain timeinterval,the germinationpattern of bothplants waschecked and recorded.
