“…Like as one scientist working in standardizing media for tomato find out that the perlite is best media for its cultivation which is followed by the rock-wool (Wilson, 1986) [29] while another scientist found out growing media for greenhouse tomato production to get high yield, better quality and good vegetative growth is 1:1 ratio of perlite and coco-peat which gives out far more better result than the other mixtures used by him (Sedaghat et al, 2017) [24] . The vertical farming also enables the harvesting of the crops earlier than the open environment condition (Stapleton and Hochmuth, 2001) [23] .…”

Continuous rising population is necessitating the maximization of food production per unit area i.e. productivity. There has been already well known different advance methods like aquaponics, nutrient film technique (NFT), aeroponics, etc. but they do not have that much good land utilization. So, to conciliate this land problem vertical farming was introduced. It utilizes the vertical unused space which or else left unused in other farming systems. This can also facilitates the peoples to get the fresh cut vegetables regularly. Moreover, nowadays peoples are showing their keen interest towards their health and to meet their healthy food requirements, salad vegetables are the best options as due to nutritional values. The vegetables have high number of health benefits. They are rich sources of minerals, vitamins and various bioflavonoids which are essential for the growth and development of human beings. The vegetables can also be eaten raw in form of salad. The vegetables are also suited best under this structure as these are short duration and provides high net returns. These can be grown by using various growing substrates viz. perlite, coco-peat, vermiculite etc. to enable fast growing and high yield.

“…The growing media used for tomato cultivation is also known to impact the growth and health of the plants and the resulting fruit. In tomato greenhouse production, soilless cultivation systems are in place using solid substrates [ 34 ] such as peat, bark, rockwool, synthetic foams, and perlite [ 35 ]. Sphagnum peat moss, harvested from wetland ecosystems, is a common growing medium in horticulture due to its high nutrient exchange capacity [ 36 ].…”

This review outlines the health benefits associated with the regular consumption of tomatoes and tomato products. The first section provides a detailed account of the horticultural techniques that can impact the quality of the fruit and its nutritional properties, including water availability, light intensity, temperature, and growing media. The next section provides information on the components of tomato that are likely to contribute to its health effects. The review then details some of the health benefits associated with tomato consumption, including anticancer properties, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and skin health. This review also discusses the impact tomatoes can have on the gut microbiome and associated health benefits, including reducing the risk of inflammatory bowel diseases. Other health benefits of eating tomatoes are also discussed in relation to effects on diabetes, the immune response, exercise recovery, and fertility. Finally, this review also addresses the negative effects that can occur as a result of overconsumption of tomato products and lycopene supplements.
