N Agro Greenhouse Design Projects

N Agro in consortium with Wageningen UR, University of Eindhoven, Beck's Advisory Services, Enza Zaden, SHR has developed a customized GreenHouse design for our farmers of approx. 1200m2 of mid hilly regions of Nepal. The designs will minimize the day time temp and humidity as well increase the night time temperature. The passive chimney effect will also minimize the pest and disease occurrences as well as increase the yield from 7–10 kg/sq m up to 35 kg/sq m in optimal crop productions for the case of tomatoes.

The next crucial steps are to realize these GH designs in the farmer level and demonstration centers and develop a efficient crop production strategy and disseminate to the farmers. For detailed information please visit our Publication & Resources page or contact us.

In 2016, N Agro has also designed and implemented a stone greenhouse for the higher hill farmers of 1800 meter and above. The design successfully makes possible for a year round production for these rural areas.

Mission/Purpose

Minimize the pest & disease occurrences, lessening the use of agro chemicals
Production of safer off seasonal vegetables
Tackle the Climate changes without impact on food security
Optimize the possible productions

Exploring the World of Hydroponics: A Soilless Method of Growing Plants

Hydroponics is a revolutionary method of cultivating plants without the use of soil. Instead, plants are grown in a soilless medium, such as perlite, rockwool, or clay pebbles, and their roots are suspended in a mineral nutrient solution. This innovative method of gardening allows for greater control over the growing conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and nutrient levels, resulting in faster growth and higher yields than traditional soil-based gardening.

One of the biggest advantages of hydroponics is the ability to grow plants in urban areas where space is limited, or in areas where soil is contaminated or otherwise unsuitable for traditional gardening. The method can be used in small-scale home gardens or in large commercial operations. It also can be used to grow a wide variety of plants, including fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

Mission/Purpose

To provide an alternative method of growing plants that does not rely on soil.
Used to minimize the use of agro chemicals and to combat soil-borne diseases.
Efficient use of water and nutrients, making it a sustainable method of growing plants.
N Agro has been disseminating the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) as a form of hydroponics.

Who Can Benefit from Hydroponics: A Versatile Method of Growing Plants

Hydroponics is a versatile method of growing plants that is applicable for a wide range of people and groups. Some of the many groups that would benefit from hydroponics include:

  • Urban dwellers without access to traditional farmland
  • Horticulturists and professional growers
  • Agricultural students
  • Demo centers for education and research
  • Farmers looking to improve crop yields and reduce environmental impact through technology transfer
