Chief Executive Officer for Noble Agriculture Technology, Emmanuel Banda told YFM that hydroponic system control soil borne disease attacks as crops are grown in water rather in soil.

“Hydroponic System enables farmers to control bacteria soil diseases because plants are grown in water not in soil therefore the diseases has no chance to attack plants making it possible to grow with no interference,” he said.

Banda further added that the newly introduced system gives plants the required amount of water needed to grow.

“As plants are grown in water there is no need for irrigation, plants use the already available water for growth therefore plants are not affected by insufficient water supply,”
