Productivity and profitability of different crops under the fertigated hydroponic condition

Fodder production competition increased due to ever-increasing human pressure on land for the of food crops and hydroponic fodder could be one option commit problem. Five (maize, oats, cowpea, lablab, common bean) seeds with without fertigation evaluated yield laid out in a completely randomized design three replications at Arba Minch Agricultural Research Center during May-August 2019. Shoot length, seed sprouting ability, duration, green were measured. Cereal grains took longer days sprouted than pulses. Pulses especially beans weighed others experiment. All experiment found suitable production. Partial budget analysis showed that benefit by 30.8% more grain Hydroponic city agriculture, smallholder poultry business young entrepreneurs, less holding farmers, elders women, even other interested groups urban agriculture. Thus, it is ideal small nutritional aspect may considered animal nutritionists further.
