Vegetables include herbaceous species grown for fruit production, such as tomato, pepper, eggplant, chili pepper, zucchini, cucumber, melon and watermelon. These crops require fertile, well-drained soils, good light exposure, regular irrigation and balanced nutrition to fully develop and produce high-quality fruits.
To express their full productive potential, fruity vegetables require targeted crop management. Greenhouse or tunnel cultivation allows earlier harvests, extended production cycles and improved harvest continuity, while in warmer, sunnier areas, early production and high volumes can be achieved for most of the year.
