Comparison chart between Fodder Grass on Land and in Green Fodder Hydroponic System.
Fodder Grass on Land | DSK Milkotronics Hydroponic Fodder System |
Fodder grass on land takes 60 days to grow.
Production capacity for 1000 sq.ft and one year cycle will be approx. 7200 kg. | Fodder grass in hydroponic machine has 7 days to growing cycle. Multiple grow rack, production capacity for 50 sq.ft area and one year cycle can produce 36,500 kgs of fodder grass. |
Fodder grass grown on land requires 50,00,000 liters of water annually.
| Fodder grass in hydroponic machine with 50 sq.ft system requires only 36,500 liters of water annually. |
Cost for harvesting and transportation from agricultural farm to cow shed is higher and time consuming. | Harvesting and transportation much easier and cost is very less. We can set up machine in cow shed area. |
It requires tillage – agricultural preparation of land by mechanical agitation of various types such as digging, stirring and overturning. So more labor require. | There will be no tillage in machine so no labor for that job. |
Due to more use of land require for fodder grass, there will be less option for other growing cash crop. | In Hydroponic Machine System, negligible land requires so enough scope for other cash crop. |
Fodder grass on land require the base as soil which has many impurities. | Hydroponic Machine System doesn’t have a soil base. It grows on trays. |
Fodder grass on land grow with the help of pesticides and also has many foreign matters so it become almost inorganic. | Hydroponic Machine System is grown without any pesticides and without land thus its 100% Organic. |
