Janho, R.
The Lebanese farmers have adopted the greenhouse crops because they insure a high productivity and an important added value for their products. The major problem is in the commercialization aggravated by the competition with the neighboring countries. The objective of this study is the concept of a tool for the help in crop making decisions. Three crops were used, spring tomato, autumn and spring cucumber all in Lebanon. Development and growth measures were done. Water salinity and soil texture effect were studied. The importance of the temperature and radiation in the development is shown by the positive and significant correlations between these factors and the factors of development (number of nodes, fruits, weight). The accomplished work will help in making a system of representation of crop rotations which permits to estimate the harvest dates, the yield and water consumption.
