BACKGROUND

Department of Vegetable Science & Floriculture

o f C S K H i m a c h a l P r a d e s h K r i s h i

Vishvavidyalaya Palampur, is organising a Model

Training Course (MTC) on "Advances in

Protected Cultivation of High Value Vegetable

Crops" with an objective of collection and

collation of scientific advances made in protected

c u l t i v a t i o n i n H i m a c h a l P r a d e s h a n d

dissemination of these among policy-planners,

scientists, farmers, students, industry and other

stakeholders. In open field conditions, high value

vegetable crops in summer and rainy seasons

suffer from biotic and abiotic stresses which leads

to low yield and poor fruit quality. Farmers spray

different agrochemical to check these stresses

which leads to environmental pollution. So,

cultivation of vegetable crops under the protected

environment is the best solution to overcome these

p rob lems . Pro tec ted cu l t iva t ion offers

opportunities to earn more from the limited land,

water and other resources. In the present scenario,

thousands of naturally ventilated polyhouses have

been constructed under different schemes

launched by Govt. of Himachal Pradesh. Farmers

of the state are growing different vegetable crops

like capsicum, tomato, parthenocarpic cucumber,

early cauliflower, garden pea and exotic

vegetables in their protected structures.

Production and protection technology for these

crops has been developed by the team of scientists

working in the state agricultural university.

Himachal Pradesh is one state which provides

high possibilities of successful protected cultivation

due to its mild climatic conditions and geographical

locations.

OBJECTIVES

• To enhance knowledge on the concepts of

protected cultivation and grafting technology

• Use of advanced protected cultivation

technology for high value vegetable crops

• Skill development of the officials in the field of

protected cultivation and vegetable grafting

technology
