Vegetable Crops
1. Producing profitable Vegetable Crops Green House Investment Income Open field Investing wisely can significantly increase yield and impact the grower s return.
2. Plant physiology and profitability are linked Successful vegetable production depends on 2 factors: Yield Quality Cover production costs with a sufficient yield Maximize marketable vegetables Physiology of mineral nutrition and reproduction Plant physiology is a key for high yielding marketable vegetables. Nutrition & Reproduction physiology directly impact profitability.
