Increasing
crop yield, rather than farming more land, will be critical to producing more.
The future optimization of crop yield is an important aspect of food production
that must be addressed immediately. Organic greenhouse cucumber (Cucumis
sativus L.) is one of many approaches to sustainable agriculture. It is more
cost effective than conventional cucumber crops. The primary object achieving
optimality, taking into account net return, regular labor cost, crop collection
cost, engineering supervision cost, and seed cost The yield for cucumber crop
in both greenhouse and open field covered its actual production costs,
according to the results. Regardless of the factors influencing cucumber
growth, the WGP model achieves the unique optimal solution for the overall
problem, in greenhouse x = 165.1883 tons/acre in spring, 50.00 tons/acre in
autumn, and in open field x =13.8796 tons/acre in spring, 10.4640 tons/acre in
autumn. x =13.8796 tons/acre in spring, 10.4640 tons/acre in autumn in open
fields. According to the findings of this study, the cucumber greenhouse system
is more profitable than the open-field system and more efficient, which
compensates for the extra costs. A marketing aspect study is recommended
because it could open up more opportunities for improving the performance of
this organic greenhouse production system as an important sub-sector.
