Abstract: Invariably, some of the world's agricultural fields lack one or more of the vital nutrients required to sustain healthy plants. In the current scenario, soil-less culture is becoming more essential in order to contend with these challenges. Plants are raised without soil in a soil-less culture. Improved methods of food production in the soil-less society of space and water conservation. Currently, with 6 billion people, it is just 0.25 ha and will hit 0.16 ha by 2050. Arable land under cultivation would further decrease due to rapid urbanisation and industrialization, as well as the melting of icebergs as an obvious result of global warming. Again the state of soil fertility has reached a degree of saturation, and with an increased level of fertilizer use, productivity does not increase further. Acidity, alkalinity, salinity, anthropogenic processes, nature of farming, and erosion can lead to soil degradation. Effective utilization of nutrients under hydroponic system made an enhanced plant growth and development on Radish (Raphanus sativus). Amendments are essential for a proper nutrient supply and maximum yields. Estimates of overall efficiency of applied fertilizer have been reduced under soil less culture. Treatments like T1N1 Control, T2N2 (10% POP) recommended fertilizer, T3N3 (20% POP), T4N4 (30% POP) and T5N5 (40% POP), T6N6 (50% POP), T7N7 (60% POP) and T8N8 (70% POP). Biochemical chemical parameters like Stomatal density and Chlorophyll pigment composition, Germination percentage was noticed for each treatment under different percentages. Randomly selected seedlings were shifted in hydroponic system containing different POP (package of practice) doses. Various growth parameters like root length, plant height, root weight, number of leaves, and total dry weight were recorded for each treatment. Utilization of nutrients and differences are attributed to morphological, physiological and biochemical processes in plants and their interaction is significantly increased under hydroponic system. An improved NUE in plants can be achieved by significant utilization of nutrient under this soilless culture.
