ABSTRACT

Greenhouse farming offers a controlled environment that can significantly enhance crop yield and quality, but it also present unique challenges related to water usage and soil health. The focus of this review paper, through an empirical analysis of existing literature was to address these four areas; irrigation water use efficiency, soil managements, nutrient uptake, and crop performance of eggplant production in greenhouse

Keywords: Greenhouse; irrigation; soil management; water use efficiency
