Diseases and Management of Crops under Protected Cultivation

(Diseases and Management of Crops under Protected Cultivation)
• Socio-economic impacts of poly greenhouse technology in Hilly region / cold arid zone.
• Plastic films of suitable grades need to me made available in adequate quantity.
• Development of area specific suitable greenhouse designs
• Standardization of package of practices for growing various crops in greenhouse for
specific regions
• Varieties suitable for greenhouse cultivation need to be made available to enhance the
productivity
• Vocational training to the unemployed youth and greenhouse practitioners in remote areas
to update their skills in this technology.
• Financial assistance as low interest loans should be made available for poor farmers to
adopt this technology
• Insurance of greenhouse structure and crop to protect the farmers against the loss caused
by natural calamities
• Rigorous extension programme to disseminate the technology information to the poorest of
the society.
