Abstract
The study was carried out in greenhouse with tomato cv. ‘Cunero’ grown in sand, rockwool and peat substrates. In researches fertigation system without recirculating with 20% overflow liquid feed was used. The results showed no significant differences in yield of tomato grown in sand, rockwool and peat substrates. Decreasing yield of tomato grown in sand by increasing (40%) N, K, Ca, Mg concentration in solution was noticed. The lowest concentration of nutrients in sand substrate was observed. Significant differences of nutrients concentration in growing mediums had no effect on leaves nutrients composition.
