NABDA – Promoting The Cultivation Of Yam With Hydroponics
Prof. Alex Akpa (Director General) has revealed that the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA) is promoting the use of hydroponic technology in the cultivation of yam in Nigeria.
The hydroponic system is a method of cultivation that does not involve the use of soil. It is a system that involves the use of a mineral nutrient solution in a solvent.
This system of farming has been found to produce 30% better than the use of soil for cultivation.
It makes your plant grow faster as they have the needed nutrient, unlike soil that may probably be deficient in some of the plant nutrients.
The Director-General made this known on Tuesday why delivering an open remark at a conference organized in partnership with the Open Forum for Agricultural Biotechnology (OFAB).

Re: NABDA – Promoting The Cultivation Of Yam With Hydroponics
Lol. I'm quite surprised about this. I know hydroponics is used to grow a very of plants and vegetables but I never knew it could be useful for rubber crops like Yams. Maybe cassava to and potatoes that are roots and tubeer crops can be grown. I'll be glad to try this out.Greenerhealth wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 11:22 pm NABDA – Promoting The Cultivation Of Yam With Hydroponics

The only disadvantages I see for now on this hydroponics thing is the cost of the nutrients. Most nutrients I see online are imported and very expensive. Do you know if these nutrients can be manufactured locally?
