Water productivity of vegetable production in the study was much higher than that of fruits and grain crops (Table 5).
Although India is among the top nations in fruit and vegetable production, the per unit productivity remains very low compared to the world average.
Continuous cropping under plastic greenhouses, a common practice in intensive Chinese vegetable production systems, has led to the decline of soil productivity and crop yields.
Soil erosion coupled with productivity decline is considered a major constraint to sustainable vegetable production in Southeast Asian steeplands, yet soil conservation technologies acceptable to vegetable growers have not been developed.
For various industries, the following parameters of sensitivity were used: production prices in farm gate value; production volume; total production costs, production costs of feed and genetic materials; oil content; fruit and vegetable yields; productivity; and animal survival rate.
Vegetable crop productivity and quality are seriously affected by several biotic and abiotic stresses, which destabilize rural economies in many countries.
Although there have been many studies on the benefits of VC as a fertilizer source, little research has focused on the effects and/or interactions of soil type and VC application rates on vegetable crop productivity.
Although there have been many studies relating to the benefits of using VC as a fertilizer source (Arancon et al. 2003, 2004a, b; Alsina et al. 2013), little research has focused on the effects and/or interactions of soil type and VC applications on vegetable crop productivity.
To make microalgal oil a cost-effective alternative for common vegetable oils, increasing TAG productivity and TAG content are of high importance.
