Rapid industrialization of the global economy and alarmingly increasing population compels countries like India to upgrade their agricultural techniques to meet the needs of the people. Soilless agricultural techniques like hydroponics [1] have gained a lot of importance over the years , one of the most popular soilless agricultural technique in which the crops are grown in nutrient solutions is now gradually being employed for commercial agriculture. India, in spite of being an agrobased country, has found it very challenging to implement hydroponics on a commercial scale. Sensitivity of hydroponics to technical faults is a major limiting factor when it comes to their large scale implementation. In addition to this, agriculture in India is predominantly being practiced by unskilled labor which makes imparting knowledge on hydroponics even more challenging. Considering the wide range of advantages which hydroponics offer and increasing need to meet the food requirements of the growing population with the limited agricultural land available, practicing hydroponic procedures has become the need of the hour.
