Question 1 of 6
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about ‘vertical farming’:
- Only climbers and creepers can be grown in this type of farming
- Crop yield is greater when compared to yield through conventional farming over the same area
Which of the above statements are incorrect?
Correct
Ans: a.
Wheat, maize and rice – these things that provide the bulk of our calories- will be very difficult to grow on a vertical farm because you need to accumulate a massive biomass for those crops – you might expect typically anything between 5 and 12 tonnes per hectare of grain from something like wheat, but to do that you have to accumulate upwards of 20 tonnes per hectare of dry weight of plant. So it’s the weight of the plant which determines whether or not it can be cultivated in vertical farming. The crops that are likely to be grown are high-value nutritious crops – like tomatoes, lettuces, green crops.
