“…Vegetables function as valuable sources of vital nutrients like vitamins and minerals. Globally recognized as "protective food," vegetables are esteemed for their abundant supply of vitamins, minerals, color pigments, antioxidants, and their essential role in guaranteeing food, nutrition, immunity enhancement and livelihood security (Krishna et al, 2022). In India, the demand for vegetables is on a steady rise, fueled by heightened consumer awareness of health and the pressure of a burgeoning population.…”

The demand for vegetables in India is substantial, driven by widespread vegetarian dietary preferences. However, the supply often falls short due to the inability to grow all types of vegetables throughout the year. This emphasizes the significance of off-season vegetable cultivation, offering a solution for year-round production, controlling price fluctuations during off-seasons, and ensuring accessibility for people across different economic classes. Off-season cultivation plays a pivotal role in addressing nutritional deficiencies and providing economic returns to farmers, especially during periods of market surplus and falling prices. Consequently, there has been a notable increase in off-season cultivation practices, where crops are grown outside the regular cropping calendar to counter supply shortages and capitalize on high market prices. Various methods are employed for cultivating off-season vegetables, including leveraging a country’s agro-climatic diversity, using different varieties, cultivating in diara lands/riverbeds, and employing protected cultivation. However, this review specifically focuses on diara/riverbed and protected cultivation of vegetables for their off-season production. While these practices have shown promise, ensuring consistent technical support, training, and a reliable supply of inputs like seeds and fertilizers, along with market information, is crucial for sustaining the adoption of agricultural technologies. Long-term success depends on accessible extension services, and the combined impact of various technologies contributes to improved off-season agricultural practices. This underscores the importance of farmer-centric policies in guiding enduring technology adoption. Factors such as education, experience in vegetable production, access to extension services, and training significantly influence farmers’ decisions regarding technology adoption.

“…In recent years, PSOs have been identified as protective agents against cardiovascular diseases and prostate problems 15,16 . Several studies have also highlighted that PSOs have antioxidative, 17,18 anti‐inflammatory, 19 antitumor, 20 and immunomodulatory effects 21 . Considering the rich nutritional properties and strong potential of PSOs, the present article aims to give an overview of the extraction techniques, chemical composition, and biological activity of PSOs.…”

Pumpkin seed oil (PSO), a rich source of nutrient contents, is extracted from the seeds of different pumpkin varieties for food and medicine industries. Accordingly, this article was designed to provide an evidence‐based review of the literature, with the purpose of achieving practical conclusions involved the extraction technologies, nutritional properties, and validated biological activities of PSO. From the previous literatures, PSOs contain a large proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, with linoleic acid as the main component, and an amount of tocopherol, phytosterol, and phenolic acids. Some differences in the yield, composition and physicochemical properties of PSO can be associated with the pumpkin's cultivars and the extraction methods. Some novel technologies involved in supercritical fluid extraction, enzyme‐assisted aqueous extraction, ultrasound‐assisted extraction have been gradually replacing the conventional technologies as the most promising method which promote safe, non‐polluting and effective recovery of PSO. This healthy vegetable oil was reported by several in vitro and in vivo studies to have potential protective roles in oxidative stress, inflammation, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.This article is protected by copyright.

“…The natural growth of plants, common for other continents, is impossible in most of the territories of Antarctica [1]. Along with providing a number of vitamins, proteins, macro-and microelements, and other human nutrition ingredients, vegetable plants boost human immunity and improve health in general [2]. They also have positive psychoemotional effects, which are beneficial under the extreme conditions of the Antarctic [3].…”

“…As noted in several reports [1,[4][5][6][7], overcoming this distance in frosty air represents a marked psychological and physical discomfort for people, as well as limited access to greenhouses in separate rooms. The main advantages and disadvantages of the technical, technological, economic, and psychoemotional aspects of this arrangement of greenhouses are listed in the work [2].…”

Ensuring the technical and technological possibility of regularly obtaining fresh, high-quality plant production in Antarctic stations is an urgent task of our time. This work is devoted to studying the growth and development of leaf vegetable crops and the main quality indicators of their edible parts when grown in the phytotechnical complex greenhouses at the “Vostok” Antarctic station and at the agrobiopolygon of the Agrophysical Research Institute (AFI). The plants, belonging to 13 varieties of 9 types of leaf vegetable crops (arugula, garden cress, cabbage, mustard, leaf radish, leaf lettuce, amaranth, dill, parsley leaf), were studied during five growing seasons at the “Vostok” station and at the AFI agrobiopolygon under controlled conditions (control). The experimental data obtained demonstrate the high productivity of the phytotechnical complex for most of the investigated crops per unit of useful area, with lower costs of electricity and water consumption per unit of production compared with a number of greenhouses at foreign Antarctic stations and greenhouse complexes with controlled conditions located on other continents. Lettuce crops were the most adapted to the growing conditions at the Antarctic station “Vostok”. They did not differ in their evaluated characteristics from the control. All other investigated crops, while not differing in their development rate and quality, had statistically significant (16–61%) decreases in their yield per 1 m2 per year. This may demonstrate the difference in the “genotype–environment” interaction in plants grown at the Antarctic station and AFI agrobiopolygon, probably due to the different barometric pressure and partial pressure of oxygen at the two locations. The positive psychological effects of the greenhouses were identified along with nutritional and other qualities of the plants.
