Abstract

Fast-growing population, climate change and increase in the residential area are causing a decrease in Turkey's agricultural land. This has led people to find different areas of production or to increase the quantity of products taken from the unit area. The way to continue production for 12 months is to increase greenhouse areas. In recent years, greenhouse production activities in Turkey have become a preferred agricultural sector, due to the government support and the private companies' interest in this subject.
