Abstract

Vegetable farming plays an important role in the country's agricultural economy. Between the actual harvested yield and the potential yield of vegetable crops in Haryana state, there is a notable discrepancy. As a result, potential has yet to be fully realized. Numerous other industries, like processing, seeds industry, fertilizer, pesticides and farm machinery industry are supported by vegetables.
