Full Description
Protected cultivation - the safeguarding of crops from the harmful effects of climate change, environmentally toxic agricultural chemicals, and crop pests and diseases - is necessary for improving crop growth conditions. This new volume addresses this need by presenting valuable research on the components of protected cultivation, including climate control, modeling, automation, and economics.
The volume offers comprehensive coverage of the many aspects of protected crop cultivation, including:
selecting site-specific appropriate protected structures
design, construction, and suitability of structures
improved crop cultivation techniques (shifting from conventional to modern soil-less cultivation approaches)
cropping sequence of vegetable crops
irrigation and fertigation automation
climate monitoring and management
insect pests and diseases and their management
greenhouse micro-climate/environments
economic analysis of protected cultivation
and more.
The important information presented in this volume will be valuable for farming professionals, faculty and students in agricultural science, agricultural researchers and engineers, as well as for those involved in horticulture and floriculture.
