The researcher<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe results revealed a high level of inefficiency among the farms, with an average technical efficiency of 73. Furthermore, the efficiency analysis showed that water and electricity were the major over-used resources, with excesses of more than 54% and 46%, respectively.<\/p>\n
The researcher further stated that the results indicated that greenhouse farmers who were employed in the government agricultural sector are likely to be the most efficient. Moreover, water salinity appeared as the most detrimental agent for greenhouse efficiency. She maintained that the increased salinity of irrigation water is caused primarily by groundwater over-pumping.<\/p>\n
To enhance the efficiency of greenhouse farms, dr. Al Mezeini recommended more training programs which focus on stimulating the farmers\u2019 awareness regarding more rational consumption of the resources.<\/p>\n
The research project included other researchers in her team. \u201cWinning the award make us proud of our achievement. It tells us that \u2018we are in the right direction\u2019 which make us more confident. Such award encourages and motivates us as researchers to work hard and to raise the quality of research,\u201d she told Oman News Agency.<\/em><\/p>\nTranslated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\nArnaud Chochon\/Hans Lucas\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
