Welcome to Urban Agros
"We plan, design, install, develop and maintain all your needs"
In the event of unavailable land and scarcity of water a large number of urbanised people could not grow vegetables and ornamental plants at their homesteads. Greenery is a lost dream or a far cry. This is true especially in multistoried, sky scrapping home apartments.
Hydroponics
Top-fed deep water culture
Hydroponics Agricultural techniques are found to be beneficial for these people. Some socially motivated scientists under the aegis of Dr. Siby Varghese came forward to help these through their well established company named Urban Agros. Many who have availed the company's help found it a boon from the blue. They are now enabled to grow all the vegetables and ornamental plant at their attic. Our clientele are supplied necessary prefabricated structures, hybrid seeds and saplings. Those who have a patch of land could envisage a beautiful garden or a thicket in their backyard. We are here for you for what you plan to cater your needs.
Top-fed deep water culture is a technique involving delivering highly oxygenated nutrient solution direct to the root zone of plants. While deep water culture involves the plant roots hanging down into a reservoir of nutrient solution, in top-fed deep water culture the solution is pumped from the reservoir up to the roots (top feeding). The water is released over the plant's roots and then runs back into the reservoir below in a constantly recirculating system. As with deep water culture, there is an airstone in the reservoir that pumps air into the water via a hose from outside the reservoir. The airstone helps add oxygen to the water. Both the airstone and the water pump run 24 hours a day.
The biggest advantage of top-fed deep water culture over standard deep water culture is increased growth during the first few weeks. [citation needed] With deep water culture, there is a time when the roots have not reached the water yet. With top-fed deep water culture, the roots get easy access to water from the beginning and will grow to the reservoir below much more quickly than with a deep water culture system. Once the roots have reached the reservoir below, there is not a huge advantage with top- fed deep water culture over standard deep water culture. However, due to the quicker growth in the beginning, grow time can be reduced by a few weeks.
Terra-Flora
"A gift that grows everyday. The living gift of love"
The natural union of earth and planet. A gift of a wither away Living Ip plant that will neither nor be stacked away in an unseen corner of years to come, of a the attic, a gift that for will constantly beloved friend, of triumph. occassion remind one moment
siby Varghese and Alex chandy have decide decided to christen this unique gift concept. what really makes Terra-Flora distinctive. is that neither siby a horticulturist nor is Alex a potter / sculptor and a visual artist by professión.
They create an art form that lives and grows everyday and blossoms to spread the love with which it was given.
he sculpted potiforms are all exclusive, have a charactor of their own, enstommade, classified under broad themes they represent love and intimacy. care, love
The sculpte forms depict faces, people, and natural element's and moments
