The juices extracted from fresh raw vegetables are highly beneficial
as they furnish all the cells and tissues of the body with the elements
and the nutritional enzymes which they need. Vegetable juices may
be divided into three main types. These are (i) Juices from vegetable
fruits, that is, tomatoes and cucumber (ii) Juices from green leafy
vegetables such as cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach and parsley and
(iii) Juices from root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato
and radish

 Low Cost Methods of Preservation and Processing
 Chemical Preservation
 Fruit pulps, juices and beverages
 Pickles, chutneys and sauces
 Preservation of vegetables by lactic fermentation
 Drying and dehydration
 Jams, jellies, marmalades
and preserves

Although hydroponics today involves tables, pots, pumps,
and high tech lights for indoor gardens, it is nothing new.
It is a technique that was used by the ancient Mayans and
Babylonians.
The word was derived from the Greek words, HYDRO (water), and PONOS
(labor), literally, “water working”.
Hydroponics became popularized by the news media in the 1920s when a scientis
named Dr. William F. Gericke of the University of California when he put laboratory
experiments in plant nutrition on a commercial scale. In doing so he termed thes
nutriculture systems HYDROPONICS.

-Superior taste, quality, appearance, uniformity, and extended shelf life of
hydroponic vegetables.
-No sterilization of growing media required and plant nutrition is easily and
completely controlled within the nutrient reservoir.
-No weeding, no cultivation, no soil borne diseases or insects. Allows
uniform water availability to plants.
-Closer plant spacing is possible and movable plant channels allow greater
production from equal areas.
-Less water required and less fertilizer needed, and root zone heating and
cooling is made possible.

 The Wick system is by far the simplest type of
hydroponic system. This is a passive system,
which means there are no moving parts. The
nutrient solution is drawn into the growing
medium from the reservoir with a wick.
The biggest draw back of this system is that plants that are large or use large
amounts of water may use up the nutrient solution faster than the wick(s) can sup
it.

 The water culture system is
the simplest of all active
hydroponic systems. The
platform that holds the plants
is usually made of Styrofoam
and floats directly on the
nutrient solution. An air pump
supplies air to the air stone
that bubbles the nutrient
solution and supplies oxygen
to the roots of the plants.
The biggest draw back of this kind of system is that it doesn't work
well with large plants or with long-term plants.

 The nutrient solution is pumped into the growing
tray (usually a tube) and flows over the roots of the
plants, and then drains back into the reservoir.
N.F.T. systems are very susceptible to
power outages and pump failures. The
roots dry out very rapidly when the flow of
nutrient solution is interrupted.
There is usually no growing medium used other than air, which saves the
expense of replacing the growing medium after every crop. Normally the plant
is supported in a small plastic basket with the roots dangling into the nutrient
solution.

 The aeroponic system is probably the most high-tech
type of hydroponic gardening. The roots hang in the
air and are misted with nutrient solution. The mistings
are usually done every few minutes. The aeroponic
system needs a short cycle timer unlike other systems
that runs the pump for a few seconds every couple of
minutes.

dry out rapidly if the misting cycles are interrupted.
