In order to solve the problems encountered in the increasingly exhausted greenhouse soils, soilless agriculture applications have been started in recent years. In many foreign countries, soilless agriculture applications are seen at rates of up to 95%. In these applications, perlite can be used alone or mixed with other mortars such as peat, sand, wood and bark. In soilless culture, perlite or perlite mortar is spread on a black plastic sheet laid on the greenhouse soil in a thickness of 10-15 cm and the seedlings are planted on this spread layer at certain intervals. The water and nutrient requirements of the planted plants are met by irrigation with nutrient solutions.

Another application is to grow plants in 5-10 liter bags filled with perlite or another perlite mixture. This type of growing is also very easy. Because production consists of arranging these bags at certain intervals on black plastic covers spread on the soil and meeting the water and nutrient needs of the plants with nutrient solutions.
We can list the advantages of soilless culture as follows:
- The dosage of nutrients and water can be adjusted better.
- Crop rotation, which is important in soil agriculture, becomes unimportant.
- Problems caused by soil-borne diseases, pests and weeds can be greatly reduced.
- Since leakage and evaporation losses can be reduced, water economy is achieved to a great extent.
- Since the soil is deactivated, there is no need for tillage, washing, disinfection and fertilization processes that require great labor and expense in greenhouses.
- Agricultural areas can be expanded as there is no need for land.
