Acuity analysis of the vegetable experts to determine the priorities in sustainable vegetable production technologies

Abstract

Vegetables are short duration and profit-making crop for the farmers especially small and marginal one. By adopting vegetable-based cropping system, farmers can earn more profit from smaller piece of land by enhancing the cropping intensity. Efficient production technologies are very important to utilise scarce natural resources and minimize the cost of production. Several researches on the production aspects are being carried out by research organizations, agricultural universities and other agencies. But research studies are not systematic. Many duplicities found in researches. To overcome this problem prioritizing in the research issues (Roy et al. 2015) in vegetable production sector is very important as Roy et al. (2016) identified priority areas in agribusiness and marketing in vegetable sector and conservation of vegetable germplasm (Roy et al. 2016)
