One of the most important challenges and obstacles faced by tomato farmers in the new lands is the scarcity of productive resources and their high cost, especially the suppliers of fresh water and arable land, which negatively affects the net yield. Therefore, this research paper aims to make a comparison between tomato production using traditional greenhouses (with soil) and using Hydroponics technology in the new lands with the research sample, aiming to measure the effect of using hydroponics in agricultural greenhouses on the most important indicators of economic returns,by studying and analyzing the cost components of the two production types and studying the most important productive, economic and financial indicators.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Supporting and encouraging of tomato producers with traditional greenhouses to shift to the productive mode using
hydroponic technology, especially those producers in the new lands of low fertility.
- Necessity of adopting of agricultural guidance to spread this (hydroponic) production pattern among tomato producers
in traditional greenhouses, as well as training and qualifying workers on this technology.
