“…As reported by Schiattone et al (2018), the values of nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), as average values of all treatments, ranged among the various crop cycles from 3.1 to 5.8 g m -2 and from 24.5 to 25.8 g g -1 DM, respectively. Nitrogen uptake response in relation to irrigation replenishment (IR) varied among the crop cycles.…”

“…In all the crop cycles, I75 showed a 13.7% higher NUE than the other irrigation treatments. N uptake and NUE, with the exception of the first crop cycle, in which no differences between nitrogen levels were observed, were respectively lower (by 21.5%) and higher (by 14%) in the 60 kg ha -1 N treatment compared to 120 kg ha -1 N (Schiattone et al, 2018).…”

“…When "baby leaf" is the target produce, bare soil is cultivated and mechanical sowing is performed using self-moving or tractor-mounted sowers, usually as large as the harvesting machines in order to optimize the work (Di Benedetto and Giordano, 2011). This agricultural practice is performed arranging continuous rows 5 cm apart with seeds placed at a depth of 3-5 mm, with a plant density ranging from 1,800 to 2,800 plants m -2 using 7 to 8 kg of seeds ha -1 respectively in winter and summer production (Schiattone et al, 2018). Excessive planting densities, however, result in pale, tender leaves unsuitable for handling and storage, in addition to a pathogen infection risk due to high humidity, and a nitrate increase caused by low light intensity (Di Benedetto and Giordano, 2011).…”

“…Water consumption of perennial wall-rocket varies between 35.1 mm and 48.2 mm in autumn and spring respectively, and watering frequency also increases from 3 times in winter to 5 times in autumn (Schiattone et al, 2018). Usually, irrigation with sprinklers is used for industrial crops, with a flow ranging from 110 to 205 L h -1 and 0.05 to 0.1 nozzle per m 2 (3 × 3 m).…”

Perennial wall-rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) belongs to the Brassicaceae family. It has spread worldwide due to its functional properties, and has long been known in folk medicine of native populations in areas of the Mediterranean and western Asia. In the past, Diplotaxis tenuifolia was a herbaceous plant harvested and consumed as a spontaneous herb, but today it is an important leafy vegetable in ready-to-use salads, with an increasing impact in the national and international vegetable retail markets. The leaves of perennial wallrocket have valuable nutritional properties because of the amounts of antioxidant compounds they contain, in particular glucosinolates, vitamin C, as well as flavonoids, which make their consumption beneficial for preventing some types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. In the current review, major pre-harvest factors of Diplotaxis tenuifolia production, such as cropping systems, fertilization, as well as water management and irrigation, are addressed with respect to crop productivity and leaf quality.

“…Because of their nutritional values and local adaptation, there is a growing body of literature highlighting how greater production and consumption of traditional and indigenous vegetables can support nutrition security and incomes [46,[56][57][58][59]. However, more research is needed to clarify and leverage the roles and potentials of specific species, as the complex relationships between nutritional yields, water availability, and soil quality [60,61] remain underexplored for many species, as do their acceptability to consumers and capacities for integration in value chains.…”

Issues and Prospects for the Sustainable Use and Conservation of Cultivated Vegetable Diversity for More Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture

Traditional vegetables are key assets for supporting more nutrition-sensitive agriculture under climate change as many have lower water requirements, adaptation to poor quality soils, higher resistance to pests and diseases, and higher nutritional values as compared to global vegetables. The effective use of traditional vegetables can be challenged however by lack of information and poor conservation status. This study reviewed the uses, growth forms and geographic origins of cultivated vegetables worldwide and the levels of research, ex situ conservation, and documentation they have received in order to identify gaps and priorities for supporting more effective use of global vegetable diversity. A total of 1097 vegetables were identified in a review of the Mansfeld Encyclopedia of Agricultural and Horticultural Plants, including species used for leaves (n = 495), multiple vegetative parts (n = 227), roots (n = 204), fruits or seeds (n = 90), and other parts like flowers, inflorescences, and stems (n = 81). Root vegetables have received significantly less research attention than other types of vegetable. Therophytes (annuals) have received significantly more attention from research and conservation efforts than vegetables with other growth forms, while vegetables originating in Africa (n = 406) and the Asian-Pacific region (n = 165) are notably neglected. Documentation for most vegetable species is poor and the conservation of many vegetables is largely realized on farm through continued use. Supportive policies are needed to advance research, conservation, and documentation of neglected vegetable species to protect and further their role in nutrition-sensitive agriculture.

Greenhouse farming is essential in increasing domestic crop production in countries with limited resources and a harsh climate like Qatar. Smart greenhouse development is even more important to overcome these limitations and achieve high levels of food security. While the main aim of greenhouses is to offer an appropriate environment for high-yield production while protecting crops from adverse climate conditions, smart greenhouses provide precise regulation and control of the microclimate variables by utilizing the latest control techniques, advanced metering and communication infrastructures, and smart management systems thus providing the optimal environment for crop development. However, due to the development of information technology, greenhouses are undergoing a big transformation. In fact, the new generation of greenhouses has gone from simple constructions to sophisticated factories that drive agricultural production at the minimum possible cost. The main objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive understanding framework of the actual greenhouse development in Qatar, so as to be able to support the transition to sustainable precision agriculture. Qatar’s greenhouse market is a dynamic sector, and it is expected to mark double-digit growth by 2025. Thus, this study may offer effective supporting information to decision and policy makers, professionals, and end-users in introducing new technologies and taking advantage of monitoring techniques, artificial intelligence, and communication infrastructure in the agriculture sector by adopting smart greenhouses, consequently enhancing the Food-Energy-Water Nexus resilience and sustainable development. Furthermore, an analysis of the actual agriculture situation in Qatar is provided by examining its potential development regarding the existing drivers and barriers. Finally, the study presents the policy measures already implemented in Qatar and analyses the future development of the local greenhouse sector in terms of sustainability and resource-saving perspective and its penetration into Qatar’s economy.
