10 Things that should keep in mind When you are working in Controlled Environment (greenhouse)(glasshouse)

Don't forget the things when you are working in Glasshouse Environment 

  1. Temperature should be checked after several hours everyday when experiment is started.
  2. Crop water and temperature requirement should be studied before working in controlled environment.
  3. Humidity control is an important factor in glasshouse because high humidity support the fungus proliferation. 
  4. Excessive fertilizer application can cause damage in pots than consumptive and timely use of inputs can improve crops.
  5. Safety measures should be carried out when you are applying the chemicals like insecticide, fungicide etc,. 
  6. Photo-period requirement  are very important for each and every crops. 
  7. Foliar application gives better result rather than pots application of fertilizer.
  8. Vegetable crops are sensitive in nature than follow each and every step of production technology for every crops.
  9. Uninterrupted electricity is the key factor for optimum growth of crops like air  conditioner (inverter) control lower and higher temperature during day and night.
  10. Greenhouse should be clean that inhibits the infectious disease and their spread in greenhouse.
The above points are purely experience based and noted during the working in glasshouse of various crops like cotton, wheat, round gourd(Tinda) and many others. 




10 Important Reasons Why Vegetable Breeding is Necessary in 21st Century

 All About Vegetable Breeding Requirement

In modern era, population is expanding and demanding from us to increase quality food in limited resources. Vegetables are the main source for quality and diversified diet. There are many important reasons that vegetable could be the goal for the upcoming breeders. Some reasons are given below:
  1. Vegetables diversified the food for the people with many food supplements like vitamins, minerals etc.
  2. Breeders can achieve more than one crop in a year. It can accelerates the breeding procedure as compared to other major crops. Controlled environment is suitable for the vegetable crops. Duration of crops is mostly less and can achieve multiple crops with few and pure seeds.
  3. Variety development is less popular as compared to the hybrid breeding in vegetables.
  4. Less availability of pure seeds as compared to major crops.
  5. Country level research institutions are rare in developing countries like Pakistan and India.
  6. Intensive care require for breeding program because some are bushy and some are creepers.\
  7. Pest infestation is less as compared to fungal and bacterial infestation.
  8. Virus infestation is rare in vegetables as compared to other plants.
  9. Broad genetic base is present and exploitation is needed.
  10. Monoecious vegetables are much more diverse especially cucurbits like round gourd, melon, water melon etc.
