Solar water pumping system India: A rapidly growing Agriculture technology Safe and sustainable water system is a growing concern in every part of the world. Lately, India has emerged as one of the forerunners in the implementation of solar energy, by using the solar irrigation system in India . Not much before, the farmers were at mercy of the Rain Gods to irrigate their fields. The erratic electricity supply coupled with no rains added to the misery of farmers. With the rise of solar water pumping system, the dependency on the conventional sources of energy is reduced, thereby providing a clean and environment-friendly solution in the long run. Bigger benefits, Lower Costs Small and marginalized farmers are primarily dependent upon conventional energy methods of irrigation, incurring high costs. The off-grid rural areas, that are under served of power supply are also dependent on costly fuel driven pumps. With solar water pumps, the farmers can get sufficient water to irrig...

6 tips for preserving fruit or vegetables or flowers in cold storage

Image
We can save a lot of wastage of fruits, vegetables, and flowers by storing them in the right way. Here are some helpful tips for preserving the fresh produce so that you can savor the goodness of the fruits and vegetable long after the harvest is over. 1.Know the temperature required for fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables have a significant temperature below which the gradual deterioration starts like blackening and softening. Hence, it is important to store these fruits and vegetables above a certain temperature so that the post-harvest life can be increased and they remain fresh for a longer time. The optimum storage temperature for different vegetables and fruits varies Apples, berries and oranges remain in a good condition below 0 degrees and above -4 degrees. Cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, and broccoli can be stored at 0-degree temperature. Cucumber can be stored in a wide range of temperature that is 10 to -13 degrees. 2. Control Humidity – Humidi...

Agriculture Technology: Solar Irrigation System & renewable Energy Trends

Image
Green technology refers to environmentally friendly technology based on its production process. It means energy production that is less harmful to the environment than the more traditional way of generating energy. It is grown quickly as people have become aware of their detrimental effects on the environment which includes global warming and also the greenhouse effect. Due to global warming fears and increasing scarcity of natural resources green technology is getting a good response from the market. Agricultural green technology includes Energy generated from solar panels, solar water pumps, Solar cold storage   etc. Ecotron started with three friends from IIT Kharagpur mechanical engineering students Devendra Gupta, Prateek Singhal and Vivek Pande who interned at the companies where they have to work on energy efficient solutions. That experience introduces them to the potential of solar energy and in 2010 they formed their own company Ecozen Solutions so that they get t...
