Abstract:
Many challenges have come in recent years due to the booming world population. One of the major problems is the reduction of per capita land availability for soil-based farming. Due to these critical circumstances, it has become essential to develop advanced technologies and techniques to overcome the current scenario. Some of the latest technologies to overcome these problems are carried out of the soil and in vitro plant cultivation, few of these are mainly based on soilless crop farming. Soilless agriculture is the latest promising method to improve cultivation strategies to increase income. Other than the restoration of cultivable land, soilless farming with a closed circulation system has enormous advantages like recycling 85-90% of the water used for irrigation. Consequently, improved space and water management method showed better yield than traditional farming with promising results throughout the world. Based on above mentioned recent technologies soilless farming for sustainable and quality vegetable production is emerging as a recent technology for enhancing the productivity.
