Good agricultural practices in horticultural production under cover in the LVRN, Patagonia, Argentina

The surface area of covered crops in the lower valley of the Negro River (Patagonia, Argentina) is significant, producing first fruits in summer and leafy vegetables in winter. Producers are interested in transitioning to agroecology, moving away from traditional management of horticultural crops...
