Summary

This chapter, authored by two leading researchers in protected horticulture, appears to provide a synthesis of protected crop production systems. Given the editors and publication context, it likely reviews technical and environmental dimensions of greenhouse production, though the specific focus and novel findings cannot be determined from the title alone.

Regional applicability

Protected cropping is practised extensively in the United Kingdom, particularly for fruit, vegetables and ornamentals; however, without the full text, the chapter's geographic focus and applicability to UK conditions cannot be confirmed. The findings would likely be relevant to UK horticultural practice if they address temperate climate protected systems.

Outcomes reported

A chapter synthesising knowledge on protected crop production systems, likely covering agronomic, environmental and management aspects of greenhouse and controlled environment horticulture.
