Conclusion: The success of tomato production in coco is mainly based on the behavior of the plants growing in it. Better media results in higher yields and improved crop quality. Coconut husk has shorter fibers, adjusted to give a successful growing medium. As an alternative to peat or rock wool, it offers a high moisture and air retention capacity, which enables easy growth and well spread root system. It appears from this study that coco coir is a suitable growing medium for the production of tomatoes under greenhouse conditions.
