    The document describes a study that evaluated the growth and yield of tomato plants grown in different media mixtures under matric suction irrigation. 15 treatment combinations of various media components were tested including combinations of coco peat, vermicompost, press mud, and Nutriseed Pack fertilizer. Initial analyses found the media containing equal parts coco peat, vermicompost, and press mud with Nutriseed Pack (T5) had the highest nutrient levels and growth parameters including plant height and branches during vegetative growth and fruit setting. The T5 treatment produced the tallest plants at 114.5 cm while the control treatment had the shortest plants at 66.5 cm.

    pots in entire experimental set up was randomized different growbag media with varying composition
    and maintained under matric suction irrigation. Two under matric suction irrigation by Nutriseed Pack
    plants were maintained per pot. fertilization was found to be different in terms of crop
    growth and yield in the cropping period.
    As per the design for matric suction irrigation the pots
    were arranged on the platforms of the green house Initial Characteristics of Experimental Media
    (Figure 2). The water trays at bottom were connected The different growbag media used for the greenhouse
    by tubes for maintaining continuous supply of water experiment were collected from different places and
    from the constant level water tub. Pots were placed its physico-chemical properties viz., pH and EC and
    over the tray for getting continuous irrigation by total N, P, K were analyzed and given in Table 1.

    The results of analysis of plant growth and yield
    parameters of crops were subjected to analysis of The growth parameters for first fruit setting stage are
