hello Sir
U can grow tomatoes in Hydroponic system
Drip Irrigation is the recent method used for growing tomato plants hydroponically.
A seedling is placed in either perlite in bags or buckets (BATO buckets in most use), or a rooted seedling in a rockwool block is set on a rockwool or coconut coir slab.
Currently, rockwool is the preferred rooting medium for this method for the hydroponic growing of tomato.
A nutrient solution is delivered at the base of the plant with sufficient volume so that there is some solution flow out the base of the bag, bucket, or slab that requires disposal, but is not recovered for reuse, therefore being an “open” system.
The management of the growing system in terms of nutrient solution composition, frequency and amount delivered to the plant is based on environmental factors, such as air temperature and light conditions as well as stage of plant growth (non-fruiting or fruiting).
That portion of the nutrient solution retained in the rooting media is periodically monitored for its electrical conductivity (EC), and when the EC reaches a certain level, the retained solution is removed by leaching with water applied through the drip irrigation system.
