The only panacea to these challenges in the tropics is GREENHOUSE FARMING. Greenhouse farming is a method whereby crops mostly high valued vegetables such as tomato, capsicum, cucumber etc. are produced in a protected and controlled environment to ensure off-season production and higher productivity. Greenhouse protects vegetables from pest infestation, extreme solar radiation and heavy rainfall and wind that mostly affect open field vegetables in the tropics.
Over time, protected cultivation has proven to increase food production through adverse weather conditions while providing job opportunity for farmers, agropreneurs, graduates, professionals and retirees. Greenhouse has facilitated the growing of vegetables in peri-urban and urban areas having marginal lands or un-cultivable soil. It is indeed one of the solutions to growing greener cities in the tropics.
Despite the huge opportunities presented by this technology, many agropreneurs cannot get started mainly due to lack of knowledge of greenhouse, management skill and high initial cost of prefabricated greenhouse from manufacturers or suppliers.
To that effect, ‘GREENHOUSE TOMATO AND CAPSICUM PRODUCTION IN THE TROPICS’
book was written to fill the knowledge-skill gap in greenhouse production and provide agropreneurs with practical guide on greenhouse production of tomato and capsicum in consideration to Low-Medium Cost Production Model, Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Integrated Plant Nutrient Management (IPNM), Hydroponic System and Post-Harvest Technology for Export.
