The world's population is growing at a rapid pace, and population growth is making it difficult to provide quality food to this growing population. But at the same time, the world's agricultural land is limited, and the land also faces serious pollution, salinization and drought problems, making it unsuitable for crop production. This need of food security had given birth to soilless cultivation, which further become popular in urban area and became a part of urban farming. (Bhargaw and chauhan.2020). Soilless cultivation refers to the cultivation of plants without using soil as a rooting material, and is divided into hydroponics and substrate cultivation. Among the water culture techniques, float hydroponics is adopted for the cultivation of fresh-cut leafy vegetables and aromatic plants (Tuzel et al., 2019). This soilless cultivation has a great prospect in many countries along with high space research to fulfill the lack of arable land where proper cultivable land is not available (Ahngar et al., 2020). This kind of agriculture may sound doubtful regarding the plant quality but 100% results are seen (Abinaya et al., 2021). A experiment was conducted in Spinacia oleracea in that the hydroponic system has a better effect as it makes the plant grow faster and more efficiently (Chakrabart et al., 2020). In this review attempts were made to review the research related to various soil-less cultures with different media for the plant growth.
