| Abstract:
In protected cultivation, crop practices and techniques should be addressed to the achievement of stated objectives by modifying and improving the relationship between the plant grown and the other components and factors involved in the productive process. However, certain objectives, and as a consequence the technical management of the considered agrosystem, can, over time change their importance. In the shift towards the new century the objectives to be considered most important for protected cultivation in mild winter climatic conditions rely on production cost, product quality, environmental impact, that are all linked to the sustainability of production process. To achieve these objectives continuous adaptations of practices and techniques concerned with the basic components of the agrosystem are in progress; some examples are presented with reference to the following:
