“…and the number of days required for a fruit to develop was relatively high (r2 = 0.75). A similar temperature effect on the rate of cucumber fruit development has been reported(14). In general, temperature is easily maintained at the set point levels by heating during low light periods.…”

The accuracy of a computer planning model for the management of a single-truss tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) production system was tested in the greenhouse. The model was used to generate a production schedule for 24 successive crops during a 15-month study. The time, in days, required for an emerging seedling to reach anthesis and the total fresh weight fruit yield were predicted for each of the 24 crops by the planning model. Correlation analysis, used to compare the expected crop response (i.e., data generated by the planning model) to the actual crop response, indicated that both the number of days from emergence to anthesis and fresh weight fruit yield were accurately forecast, r2 = 0.76 and 0.83, respectively. More important, the cropping schedule that was generated by the planning model successfully produced a continuous harvest of tomatoes from sequential crops.

“…Several authors reported on achieving heating energy savings by regulating the greenhouse air temperature. For example, for cucumber, after 5 h of darkness, it is preferable to decrease the air temperature from 20 to 12 • C [58]. In another study, Toki et al [59] indicated that, in tomato, the night air temperature could be set at 16 • C for 4 h between 17:00 and 21:00 and then reduced to 10-12 • C.…”

Energy and Water Related Parameters in Tomato and Cucumber Greenhouse Crops in Semiarid Mediterranean Regions. A Review, Part I: Increasing Energy Efficiency

Countries located in the Mediterranean region share many common features in terms of agricultural sustainability and economic realities of modern farming, as they are affected by water scarcity, energy use and climate suitability. Greenhouses are considered as a mitigation measure to combat climate change and as a sustainable production system. The majority of greenhouses in the Mediterranean region are rudimentary, while those in Central and North Europe are characterized by equipment of a high technological level for greenhouse climate and fertigation management. However, the technological innovations and research originating from Central and North Europe glasshouses may not be appropriate for use in Mediterranean plastic greenhouses when considering the trade-off between agronomic needs and potential energy savings. Identifying energy measures suitable for the local climate will improve energy efficiency and crop performance toward the goal of greenhouse sustainability. This review mainly focuses on renewable and energy-efficient control systems in Mediterranean greenhouses, where crops such as tomato and cucumber are widely grown.

Abstract. The experiments were carried out in the years of 2000, 2001 and 2003 at Kafr El-Sheikh. The main objective of this research was to study the influence of growing seasons and types of unheated plastic house on yields of two cucumber F 1 hybrids. Downy mildew and powdery mildew were lower in the winter season than during the early summer season. Likewise, they were lower inside the double span house than inside the single span house (at 60 days after transplanting).The highest total yield as number and weight was produced from Petostar hybrid grown inside the double span house during the early summer season.
