Summary

Hydroponic techniques have major advancements in the recent years compared to Conventional Systems. The flow pattern of fluid used in hydroponic system in a cultivation container affects the growth of plants. Vegetables such as Strawberry, Basil, Cauliflower, Tomato, Spinach and Radish saplings were grown in soil and soilless methods to compare the growth, yield and nutritional value. As for the conventional system, the plants were grown in soil and for hydroponic system Nutrient Film Technique, Deep Water Culture and Wick Systems were used to cultivate plants. On the completion of the growth of the plants, the samples were analysed in laboratory for biochemical analyses. The total yield of Strawberry was 46.5% and tomato with 42.05% in Hydroponics system compared to soil system, whereas i
