Hydroponics as the advanced technique for tomato cultivation using NFT system: An Overview

Abstract

Agriculture plays a critical role in a country's economy and in meeting people's food needs. Farming has become a major challenge in recent years as land availability has decreased as a result of increased urbanisation. The loss of natural fertility and poor soil fertility as a result of continuous cultivation are major issues in agriculture. Many new technologies have emerged to address these issues. One of the techniques is hydroponics. The cultivation of tomatoes using the NFT system has been discussed in this paper. This paper discussed the installation process, growth monitoring, and the use of various nutrients to increase yield. If you have a small backyard, you will need a minimum amount of space to install the system. Keywords: Hydroponics, NFT, Micronutrients and Macronutrients
