Abstract

The Greek greenhouse industry is comprised of 4620 ha of greenhouses of which 82% are currently allocated to vegetable crops.
In this paper, the Greek greenhouse industry is discussed in terms of greenhouse structures and their environmental control, cropping practices, productivity, crop protection, marketing and research.
