Abstract:
The method of organic farming is becoming more and more popular. All farmers are still concerned about finding workable ways to cut back on the number of treatments and minimize the usage of pesticides. The effort aims to establish a technical technique for producing some horticultural species that satisfies ecological agriculture requirements, as well as to explore some aspects of biological control to limit the spread of some diseases and pests in some horticultural species. The goal of this research is to investigate some aspects of biological control in order to prevent the development of certain diseases and pests in some horticultural species, as well as to design a technical approach for producing some horticultural species that fits the standards of ecological agriculture. It also includes a study on the economic effectiveness of an ecological culture technology for producing goods with high ecological purity in certain horticulture plants. Because the cost of the seedlings obtained ecologically is 50–150% greater than that of the conventional system, the total cost of tomato crops in the ecological system is higher than that of the conventional system.
