        abstract = {Soil based cultivation is now facing difficulties due to different manmade reasons such as Industrialization and urbanization. Hydroponic farming system through the cultivation of different crops like coriander and leafy vegetables. Less time is required for the yield, and no soil-borne diseases. Easy management of crops, zero growth of weeds, and no requirement for spraying water are among the few advantages of the hydroponic farming system A hydroponic farming system can assure minimum water savings of up to 70–80% compared to that of soil-based farming systems. Also, sudden natural disasters, climate change and Unrestricted utilization of chemicals for agriculture purposes cause the depletion of soil fertility and quality. That is why, scientists have developed a new alternative approach for Cultivation system namely soil-less cultivation or hydroponics. Hydroponics is a method of Growing plants in a water based, nutrient rich solution. Through hydroponics a large number of plants and crops or vegetables can be grown. The quality of yield, taste and Nutritive value of end products produced through hydroponically is generally higher than the natural soil-based cultivation. This cultivation is cost effective, disease free, ecofriendly and is gaining popularity all over the world, in both the developed and the developing countries. It has a great prospect in many countries along with high space Research to fulfill the lack of arable land where proper cultivable land is not available. So, Hydroponics would be a better technique to produce the different kinds of fruits, vegetables and fodder as well as meet the global nutrition demand with making advance future. In the Future, hydroponics could be emerging techniques for the supplying of food to the world-Wide population. This study investigated the phytochemical properties and antimicrobial sensitivity of four hydroponically grown plants: Abelmoschus esculentus (Ladies finger), Viciafaba (Broad Bean), Brassicanigra (Black Mustard), and Ocimum sanctum (Thulasi). The plants were grown using the hydroponics method, which provides a controlled nutrient environment. The antimicrobial sensitivity test was conducted using Muller Hinton agar, with Escherichiacoli (E. coli) and staphylococcus as the test microorganism. Phytochemical analysis was performed using various chemical reagents, including Mayer's (alkaloids), Wegner's (glycosides), Dragendroff's (alkaloids), Benedict's (reducing sugars), and Tannis reagents (tannins). The results of this study provide valuable insights into the potential medicinal applications of these plants and highlight the effectiveness of hydroponics as a cultivation method.},
