Abstract
Various factors, including genetic, environmental, and agrotechnological ones, influence the quality of vegetables as a food product.
Balancing high-quality crops with product and consumer preferences is increasingly challenging.
Greenhouse cultivation offers a controlled environment for year-round growth, enhancing plant development and extending harvest seasons.
Here, we study how preharvest factors in protected environments affect produce quality.
Optimizing greenhouse conditions enhances growth, nutrients, and quality.
These factors shape trends in vegetable quality, which depend on advances in breeding, technology, environmental management, and cultivation practices.
Achieving high yields and quality involves navigating complex trade-offs for sustainable greenhouse production and continually leveraging trends to improve year-round vegetable quality.
