Economic Evaluation of Cucumber and French Bean Production: Comparing Integrated and Organic Crop Production Management

Economic Value of Biological Control in Integrated Pest Management of Managed Plant Systems

“…This can be done via ex ante studies, which consider the potential impacts of yet-to-be-implemented BC practices against current practices (57, 78,96,107). Ex post analyses are retrospective, evaluating an implemented BC program against a counterfactual scenario of not adopting the program, or comparing performance between adopters and nonadopters (6,18,42,84,109,129,135).…”

“…The largest market sector for augmentative BC is the greenhouse industry, primarily in Europe and the United States (131). Here, too, the economic benefits have been mixed, with the costs of augmentative control far exceeding the comparative costs of insecticides (59, 60, 118, 133) except under certain high-value conditions, like organic production, that preclude use of some of the most effective synthetic pesticides (42). Other studies have estimated the cost dynamics associated with augmentation with a goal of implementing a BC-only solution (106).…”

Analysis and forecasting of profit by using simulation models for growing pea in conventional and organic plant production in Serbia

“…It was significantly higher in organic bean production (Table 3). Similar results in their research had Garcia et al, 2012. Profit forecast according to Monte Carlo method has been done according to projected market prices of conventional and organic bean production.…”

Soilless Cucumber Cultivation under Protective Structures in Relation to Irrigation Coupled Fertigation Management, Economic Viability and Potential Benefits-A Review

“…In past, numerous authors studied the economic feasiiblity of cucumber cultivation in soilless and soil based conditions under protective structures (Engindeniz and Tuzel 2003;Engindeniz 2004;Singh et al, 2007b;Cantliffe et al, 2008;Engindeniz and Gul 2009;Mohammadi and Omid 2010;Garcia et al, 2012;Kumar et al, 2015).…”
