Experiment Title Standardization of growing media for brinjal and tomato of roof top condition
Research Type Other
Experiment Background With increasing population there is huge pressure on land to feed the masses. Thus shrinking lands leads to finding alternative ways to grow food. In urban and peri-urban areas unutilized terrace provides ample space to grow healthy food. As terrace is different from open land for cultivation many things need to be taken care of including weight of growing media, thus a light weight media is required which should be economically viable to use for growing crops for home consumption. In Surat district urban and peri urban population is maximum and there is huge demand for knowledge regarding terrace gardening specially to grow vegetables. Hence the present study is being proposed to Standardization of growing media for brinjal and tomato on roof top condition.
