To facilitate this protected cultivation is the solution wherein crops are cultivated in protected environment by modifying temperature, humidity, wind and water requirements for the plants. Major crops grown in protected cultivation are bell peppers (yellow and red). Cherry tomato, cucumber, lettuce ,peaches,strawberry, apricots and so on by adapting to a protected cultivation produce of high quality with less incidences of pest and disease can be marketed.
