This publication capitalizes on the experience of scientists from the North Africa and Near East countries, in collaboration with experts from around the world, specialized in the different aspects of greenhouse crop production. It provides a comprehensive description and assessment of the greenhouse production practices in use in Mediterranean climate areas that have helped diversify vegetable production and increase productivity. The publication is also meant to be used as a reference and tool for trainers and growers as well as other actors in the greenhouse vegetables value chain in this region.

The present text, aligning with the course curriculum of B.Tech. (Agricultural Engineering) as recommended by the Fifth Dean's Committee Report of ICAR, delves into key topics such as the theory, importance, and applications of Protected Cultivation, Greenhouse concepts and classifications, Design and Construction considerations, and the intricate details of Greenhouse Micro-climate. From exploring various Growing Media for Greenhouse Crops to delving into advanced Precision Farming Techniques including Polytunnels, Shade Nets, Plastic Nets, and Plastic Mulching, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for students. The book also covers essential aspects like Greenhouse Irrigation Methods, Drip and Micro- Sprinkler System Design, Fertigation for Greenhouse Crops, and Water Quality considerations. In addition, the book addresses crucial aspects of Insects/Pests and Disease Management, providing practical insights for successful cultivation. Each chapter is thoughtfully structured with proper illustration to enhance the reader's understanding. The inclusion of solved examples at appropriate places ensures a clear grasp of the subject matter. The text further supports learning with a variety of descriptive type and multiple-choice type questions. TARGET AUDIENCE • B.Tech. (Agricultural Engineering) • B.Sc. (Hons) Agricultural Sciences

Crop production in greenhouses is a growing industry, especially in mild climates, and is very important for the population as a source of income and clean, fresh food. Greenhouses create optimal climate conditions for crop growth and protect crops from outside pests. At the same time greenhouse production increases water use efficiency and makes integrated production and protection (IPP) possible. This book provides technical instructions for practice (what to do and what not to do) and gives answers to the question: How to produce more clean crops and better quality with less water, less land and less pesticide. Suitable greenhouse constructions and their design, adapted to local climates in subtropical, tropical and arid regions and infrastructure conditions are presented. The necessary climate control measures - light transmittance, ventilation, cooling, heating, and CO2 enrichment - and physical measures for pest control, as well as methods for using solar energy to desalinate salty water are described. The results of theoretical research are transferred into methods for practical use, so that readers are equipped to solve their problems in practice as well as to get stimulation for further research and development.

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.
