Factsheets have been designed to provide practical information covering all factors that affect production, including climate, soil, nutrients, water, pest & diseases, and cultural practices for the successful cultivation of vegetable crops. Factsheets also provide knowledge on the key aspects to consider when designing horticulture cultivation systems to achieve optimization, standardization, and adaptation to local conditions in the context of small and medium-scale farmers and to produce horticulture crops with higher quality, food safety, yield, and profits using sustainably natural resources. This publication is aimed to reach a wide audience, including extension services, policymakers, farmers, and the private sector.
