Protected cultivation provides an operative way to advance'Dongzao'jujube mature season and avoid fruit crack when raining, leading to high economic benefits. However, environmental control in facility is critical for ensuring tree growth and fruit production of'Dongzao'jujube under protected...

Protected cultivation structures provide favorable environment for crop growth thereby achieving greater yield and high quality produce. The objective of this work was to evaluate the microclimate parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation and light intensity underdifferent ...

Protected cultivation includes different types of structures protecting the plants from harsh environmental conditions, extending the cultivation season, and or providing out-of-season crop production. Although commercially protected cultivations developed broadly after the 2nd World War by using...

Protected cultivation of high-value crops offers higher productivity which in turn increases the profitability of the farm. There are a number of schemes and programs for the promotion and development of protected cultivation in India. Maharashtra is one of the states which have successfully...

Protected cultivation is an innovative way of raising seasonal and off-seasonal crops under a controlled environment. Vegetables and flower crops have tremendous potential to augment productivity, generate employment, utilize land efficiently and enhance export. This study was undertaken to assess...

In recent times, with the globalization of markets, shrinking of land and climate change, food basket diversification, increase in demand for nutrient-rich food, the protected cultivation of high-value crops (HVCs) have assumed a pivotal role in augmenting higher crop productivity and profitability ...

The study was conducted in Koppal and Ballari districts of Kalyana Karnataka region to study the extent of adoption of protected cultivation technology during the year 2020- 21. Total sample of 120 farmers was selected by using simple random sampling procedure. The results indicated that scarcity...

Given the increasing threat of climate change to agriculture, determining how to achieve farm sustainability is important for researchers and policy makers. Among others, protected cultivation has been proposed as a possible adaptive solution at the farm level. This study contributes to this...

Heating system using waste heat cuts carbon emissions

Irregular changes in the internal climates of protected cultivation systems can prevent attainment of optimal yield when the environmental conditions are not adequately monitored and controlled. Key to indoor environment monitoring and control and potentially reducing operational costs are the...
