The major crops cultivated in greenhouses are high-value crops such as leafy vegetables, fruit vegetables, and flowering plants. Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a new technology of information acquisition that has been widely used in agriculture, especially in greenhouses. Environmenta...

Although the physiological principles involved in the growth of greenhouse and field crops are not basically different, the development of models for greenhouse crops to some extent has followed its own way. This is mainly due to the specific characteristics of the crops and of the greenhouse production systems involved. Many important greenhouse crops are multi-harvest crops, where the balance...

Crops that are not part of the customary diet of the local population and grown primarily for their high cash values and export potentials are categorized as nontraditional. Recently, several African countries have gone into the production of nontraditional fruits and vegetables of temperate origin in order to diversify their agricultural exports and increase hard currency earning.
