INTENSIVE VEGETABLE PRODUCTION, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO EXPORT |
| Author: | A.F. Persson |
| Abstract:
This paper is largely based on 4 years work on vegetables in Egypt, concerned with the establishment of rational competitive cash crop production. There are two basic requirements for good plant growth: a growing medium allowing normal root growth and with a diluted solution of balanced nutrients; and optimal temperature and light. For export to Europe, the important period is from November to April/May for beans, tomatoes, peppers, artichokes and potatoes. But climatic advantage alone is not enough for the promotion of intensive production. | |
