Abstract:

A field experiment was executed at the Research Farm, modular protected cultivation unit, Mewar University Gangrar, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) during the Rabi season of 2024-25 to assess how different growing media compositions affect the quality parameters of tomatoes. The results showed a minor enhancement in these quality parameters. The experiment involved both determinate and indeterminate tomato cultivars and utilized growing media such as soil, cocopeat, vermiculite, perlite and soil. The study employed a media ratio of M3V2 Soil: cocopeat: vermiculite + perlite: vermicompost (1:2:0:1), which resulted in the highest TSS (5.20), chlorophyll content (37.66) and Vitamin C levels, highlighting the significant impact of the growing media on the quality of tomato cultivars in a terrace polyhouse setting.
