Abstract: Growing media plays major role in cultivation of a crop. There are different combinations of growing media which is used in the cultivation of horticultural crops in troughs, growbags and pots for better utilization of resources. Soil based media is also used in pot culture as it is easily available and economical in use. Soil with sand and FYM is a good combination of media. In some cases FYM along with vermi compost is used for better results. Cocopeat is now becoming an alternative growing media especially in case of cultivation in pot culture inside protected structures and in urban areas. This cocopeat media is used mainly with perlite, vermiculite but also used extensively in combination with organic matter like FYM, vermicompost which acts as good source of nutrition for the growth of crop. In this purpose review of literature on effect on combinations of growing media for cultivation of horticultural crops has been done and compiled to report for further modification and better use.
