ABSTRACT

India is second largest producer of fruit crops in the world, still we are lagging in export potentiality, productivity and quality of fruits, because of low land holdings, rain fed farming, improper utilization of natural resources, over emphasis on chemical fertilizer and pesticides. These chemicals are also causing environment pollution and fruits produced by using chemicals are not preferred for export due to residual accumulation. Physiological disorders, pests and pathogens also causing adverse effect on production of quality fruit crops. In order to overcome disadvantages caused by local climatic conditions, one has to go for protected cultivation to produce desired quality fruits. It also promises the yield and quality improvement with good benefit cost ratio.
Keywords: Yield, Quality, Economy, Biotic and Abiotic.
