Protected Cultivation of Vegetables – Present Status and Future Prospects in India

Soilless Cucumber Cultivation under Protective Structures in Relation to Irrigation Coupled Fertigation Management, Economic Viability and Potential Benefits-A Review

“…A protective structure when supported with favorable climatic conditions offers off-season cultivation of vegetable crops which is more profitable in the Northern Plains of India (Nair and Barche 2014). A greenhouse traps solar radiation of short wavelengths to create an encouraging microclimate for plant growth and higher productivity (Tiwari 2006).…”

The Effect of Electrical Conductivity of Irrigation Water on Water Uptake by Capsicum in Soilless Media

“…The maximum water uptake was observed for fifteen plants are 246 kg and minimum 17.85 kg during Fruiting and Vegetative stage respectively corresponding to EC 2.8 and 2.7 dS/m for their respective stage. in more than 55 countries throughout the world (Nair and Barche, 2014). The development and rapid expansion of greenhouse technology in China has been faster than in any other country in the world (Shakuntala Pandey and Anil Pandey, 2015).…”

“…The total protected cultivation area in India is approximately 50,000 ha (Hasan, 2015). The main purpose of protected cultivation is to facilitate suitable environment during the plant growth period so as to realize its maximum yield potential even in adverse climatic conditions (Nair and Barche, 2014). The major limitation of protected cultivation is various type of soil borne diseases (Fulya Baysal-Gurel et al, 2012).…”

“…A nivel mundial en las últimas cuatro décadas la agricultura protegida (AP) se ha expandido y masificado llegando a ocupar superficies aproximadas a las 4.900.000 hectáreas en donde se encuentran construidas estructuras con una amplia gama de materiales y diferentes niveles tecnológicos [1]. Donde se establecen cultivos de diversas especies hortícolas y ornamentales.…”
