“Dear Dr Suseela The webinar was very nice, informative and inspiring. I had some basic knowledge in Hydroponics, but I learnt so many new things, especially to control pests and diseases; algal growth, which are the major issues in the Hydroponics. Nutrient deficiency you also explained in nice ways. So thanks for your great contributions in this field. And I hope, from time to time, you will share your Tips and Tricks to all webinar attendees, so they will learn more n more, and will think to become an entrepreneur in this field and give their contribution to the society, to make them healthy, by supplying pesticides free vegitables and fruits.”

“Madam, I really appreciate your dedicated approach to share your Knowledge and experience in the field of much under exploited hi-tech agriculture especially hydroponics. The classes very useful to understand all including the pros and cons of hydroponic system. All the aspects were covered in the minimum time. But one thing I felt is that the mode of presentation and fluency in the language were not up to the level expected. A visit to a farm may be considered in the future classes if possible. Once again, I thank you madam.
