What Is Canna Rhizotonic 1l and How Is It Beneficial For Your Hydroponic System

It is a long known and proven fact that hydroponics is more productive, safe and eco-friendly when compared to the traditional agriculture practices. In hydroponics, the growth of plants depends on quality and accuracy in the proportion of nutrients. Plants are likely to die in the absence of the ideal root environment.

Canna Rhizotonic 1l is 100% natural high vitamin rich stimulator used to enhance the root environment. You must purchase and use this supplement when you are shipping or re-potting plants. Canna Rhizotonic boosts the growth of unhealthy or poorly developed plants.
    

What Are the Benefits of Canna Rhizotonic 1l?


Following are the benefits of using canna Rhizotonic:

Stimulates Growth of New Roots on Transplants and Cuttings


This supplement not only stimulates the growth of already rooted plants but also stimulates the growth of new roots on transplants and cuttings. Essential vitamins such as B1 & B2 and other elements boost the production of hormones responsible for the growth of the root. The result is a white beautiful root.  
       

Boosts the Process of Germination


Use this supplement when you are soaking seeds prior to planting. Canna Rhizotonic softens up the skin of seed and makes it easier to germinate
.      

Enhances Overall Plan Growth


Production depends on the healthy growth of the plant. There are some chemical reactions going on in the nutrient solution. These reactions make the plant healthier, stronger and powerful. This supplement stimulates these reactions. Plants in the first few weeks are weak and vulnerable. Apart from stimulating root growth and improving the strength of plants, this supplement also increases resistance to diseases.

Boosts Recovery Process Cutting or Plant Subjected To Any Kind of Stress           


Spraying rhizotonic on leaves aids in quick recovery from stress situations such as re-potting and during transport. Plants in such situations are usually unhealthy and weak.


Raising pH level


Spraying rhizotonic on leaves raises the pH level in fertilizer tanks.

This supplement can be used during the entire growth cycle. From seed to harvest, canna rhizotonic is great for the healthy growth of the plant.
         

Storage and Health & Safety Guidelines 


1. Over-fertilization is harmful to the plant.
2. Keep it closed while storing and always store in a frost-proof and dark place.
3. Store in place children can’t reach.    
4. It is 100% natural and vegetable-based and therefore ideal to be used in all growing medias such as coco, potting mix and hydroponics.

Aquaponics: An Innovative and Sustainable Method for Organic Crop Cultivation

Global warming is an alarming threat to natural resources and it is very important to look for eco-friendly methods that help in sustaining the environment. Large-scale farming, use of chemicals and pesticides has not only degraded the quality of agricultural products but has also degraded the quality of the soil. That is why it becomes imperative to look for options that are environment-friendly and sustainable.
Aquaponics is one such method that is widely used by farmers and agriculturists to get better quality products without degrading quality and productivity of the land. Aquaponic in Australia is widely used by organic farmers to increase the productivity without harming the environment and increase the sustainable organic crop production.

What is Aquaponics?


Aquaponics combines the use of aquaculture (cultivating fish) and hydroponics (growing plants without using soil) this involves growing of plants and fish together in an integrated system. Aquaponics utilizes the symbiotic combination of fish and plants in which the plants utilize the waste excreted by the fish to grow and on the other hand the plants clean up the water that is used by the fish.
 At the same time, microbial organisms (nitrifying bacteria) play a very important role in Aquaponics. They help in converting the ammonia from the waste discharged by the fish to nitrites and further into nitrates.  Further, the converted nitrates are taken up by the plants for growth. Solid wastes can also be converted into vermicompost that can be used by the plants as food.
Aquaponic holds a strong presence in the future for sustainable organic crop production, water preservation and fish culture. Furthermore, this type of indoor farming can be widely used by individuals, farmers, entrepreneurs, and government to save the environment.


Why is Aquaponic a game changer for sustainable organic crop production?


•    Aquaponics is based on an idea that involves recycling of water rich in nutrients without interruptions.
•    Aquaponics uses less water for cultivation which is 1/10th of what is used in soil based gardening and also lesser than what is used in hydroponics.
•    It effectively eliminates the growth of weed and unwanted insects.
•    It is a natural method for cultivation of crops. It eliminates the use of harmful chemicals like petrochemicals, insecticides, pesticides etc.
•    Crops cultivated through Aquaponics are organic, healthy, fresh and tastier.
•    Since there is no soil used in cultivation it eliminates the chances of any kind of soil-borne diseases.
•    You can put the Aquaponic system anywhere indoors, outdoors, in a greenhouse or in the basement depending on your choice.
•    You can control the temperature to cultivate the fish as well as grow the plants.

What can be grown in an Aquaponic System?


It is very important to select the fish and the plants for your Aquaponic system that have the same requirement of ph and temperature. Generally, warm and freshwater fish alongside leafy green veggies like cabbage, lettuce, greens, and herbs are best for Aquaponic culture. That being said you can grow other vegetables like beans, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and the list goes on and on.

Starting Hydroponics with Wick System

Wick system is one of the six most popular hydroponics systems. The other five hydroponics systems are – EBB & Flow/Flood & Drain System, Nutrient Film Technique, water culture, drip system and aeroponics. This is the simplest hydroponic system as there is no moving part in it and hence requires no electricity or pump. Therefore, it is very useful in places where electricity is not available or if available, it is not adequate.
 
If you are new to hydroponics then it is better to start with wick system. Things you need for wick system are - a container for the plant, a container for the reservoir, a wicking growing media like coco coir, perlite or vermiculite and wicking rope. It is clear from the name; nutrient solution from the reservoir is wicked up to the plant using a process called the capillary action. A good wick system normally has more than one wick for supplying nutrient to the plant container. 
Despite being the simplest and easiest to learn, the wick system is not as efficient as other hydroponic systems. It is suitable for small and non-fruiting plants like lettuce and herbs only. Fruiting and larger plants require more nutrients and cannot be grown in this system. Another disadvantage is inefficient nutrient delivery. You cannot grow fruiting plants like tomato, peppers, as these plants are heavier feeders and nutrient supply by wicks is not sufficient for these plants. 
HydroponicsXpress is a useful resource for knowledge required for hydroponics. You can also purchase complete hydroponics kits for different systems.

Aquaponics Kit - Installation at Tuart Hill Primary School


Maurice van Aurich from Aquaponics WA explains the importance of using expanded clay in an aquaponics system and why round fish tanks are a better choice than square or rectangle. Expanded clay helps convert ammonia to nitrite then to nitrate which becomes available for healthy plant growth and in turn cleans the water to recycle back to the fish tank.
