Abstract |
|
Mulch mat is a useful hairy mulching disc made from textile fibers which helps to suppress the weed growth and lower water loss from soil surface. The practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers is known as vertical farming. Vertical farms tend to produce more than conventional farming method.. To decreases evaporation of water from pot and to control weeds mulch mats were very useful. As we all know that the back bone of our country is agriculture and now it faces land problem as most of the agricultural lands turns into building. By combining the technique of mulch mat and vertical farming one can produce more yield. The main objective of the project is analyzing the growth of plant and finding out in which textile substrate (coir/jute mulch mat) there will be a better vegetation. |
