    About the course
    Background
     
     
    Vegetables growth under protected conditions has been developed in light of demand for out-of-season vegetables' growth, and also to achieve high quality yields unachievable under open field conditions.
     
    The modern vegetable production industry requires the implication of the most up to date, relevant, knowledge. The input of various aspects like plant physiology, plant protection (entomology, pathology and virology), meteorology, soil sciences should be considered.
     
    All year round production encounters favorable and unfavorable climate conditions such as extreme temperatures, high or low relative humidity, or salinity or water limitations. All these affect plant vegetative development, flowering, fertilization and fruit set, yields and quality of end product.
     
    A good healthy seedling is a prerequisite for successful crop. Seed quality has a marked impact on seedling and plant performance.
    Aims
     
     
    To enrich the participants with the latest advances in vegetable production under protected environment that included the physiological and biological principles and factors involved in plant development and reproduction. The effect of environmental conditions (including abiotic stresses) on vegetable cultivation and learn how to use this knowledge for obtaining high yields with high quality vegetables.
