Pegasus Agriculture & Its Soilless Farming To Serve A Hungry World

Pegasus Agriculture is the hydroponics pioneer in the MENA region. The company trusts its innovation of soilless cultivating can entirely control the utilization of accessible arable area for rural reason. Land equipped for supporting products is cleared over for streets, strip malls, houses or for commercial enterprises. A quick development has been witnessed in hydroponics from rural area to industry, rural, and private lands.

As indicated by Pegasus Agriculture group, the innovation of hydroponics can truly help with the issue of arable area lack, as hydroponics is the innovation of soilless cultivating. Today, around 40 percent of worldwide area is given to horticulture. This rate will just increment, without adjusting our present frameworks of improvement. Hydroponics is demonstrated as the best innovation to address such issues.

The development of a progression of hydroponic cultivating offices is proposed as a major aspect of a push to farthest point physical biodiversity misfortune through the inversion of vast tracts of current farmland into practical common habitats. It likewise advances the accessibility of arable land in current horticultural settings. Present day farming possesses significantly more than the 10.6% of worldwide area that is arable.

The innovation of hydroponics tries to direct far reaching ecological concerns including the inaccessibility of arable area. Hydroponics frameworks oblige less water and space than conventional farming frameworks and may be stacked keeping in mind the end goal to utmost space utilization. This makes them ideal for utilization in urban communities; where space is especially restricted and populaces are high.

Pegasus Agriculture executes its innovation of hydroponic cultivating by comprehension the requirement for development and improvement, understanding our areas' expanding base requests, understanding the danger of environmental change and the requirement for sustenance security. The organization trusts in shrewd development rule that take into consideration development and improvement while safeguarding and upgrading arable terrains.

Middle East’s Urban Green Revolution – Through Hydroponics

hydroponic-farm-jpgMiddle East Farmers have taken the inventiveness to accept and move with technologically advanced farming methods to alleviate the issue of food imports in the region; they have already accepted the soilless farming- hydroponics to grow food in the desert. The technology of soilless farming or hydroponics is best suit for Middle East’s challenging conditions for farming and especially for the unavailability of arable land in the urban areas.

In most of the GCC countries, the obstacles for conventional agriculture are the lack of water and space, and probably farmers can’t grow anything without plenty of water and fertile land space. But with hydroponics, even a small facility can make wonders. It is proven that tons of high quality vegetables can be grown in hydroponic green houses in the crowded cities of GCC, in controlled environment.

The produce of hydroponic farming will be of higher quality than the conventional farm products as they are free from harmful pesticides and weeds and many other ways of contamination. Farmers can save more on such vegetables due to the increased proximity to the vegetables markets or sometimes they will have the chance to deal with direct customers such as big hotel groups or supermarket chains.

According to the farmers, the soil salinity made it almost impossible to grow crops in this region; and in a hydroponic system, farmers generally won’t have to interfere with any such issues. hydroponic systems are in fact more cost effective as it doesn’t require the excessive use of expensive fertilizers. It can produce much fruits and vegetables of better quality, with comparatively very less water, and no or less pesticides.

Automatic controller systems are available in many hydroponic farms in this region, which controls the salinity and acidity of the solution used for the crops. The correct concentration of nutrients in the growing media gives maximum results.

The automatic nutrient controller systems provide maximum efficiency of nutrient absorption and ensures the vegetation takes up all the nutrients it requires in the correct amount. So maximum yields of superior quality can be assured and a successful project can deliver up to 50-60% increased yield with better quality produce.

Pegasus Agriculture, the hydroponic farming major of the region operates a number of urban hydroponic facilities in the region and supports the conventional farmers for an urban green revolution through soilless farming.
