The title "Vegetable Production" illustrates the development of crop cultivation from its beginnings to the present and attempts to derive insights into the future. The book focuses on an integrated perspective of production within an ecological, economic, technical, and socio-political system, as well as on the physiological-ecological foundations of plant development and growth, and the mathematical description of these processes in the form of equations and models. This deepens the understanding of the complicated and complex interrelationships and opens up new pathways for planning, executing, and optimizing production programs and processes on a solid basis within the given possibilities. The target objectives are yield performance, quality, cost reduction, resource conservation, and the preservation of a livable environment.
