Greenhouse farming is the process of growing crops under a sheltered structure and providing them with partial or fully favorable environment growth conditions to grow seasonal and off-seasonal produce.
Greenhouses are framed structures covered with transparent or semi-transparent materials. They are large enough to grow the crops for their maximum growth and productivity.
Greenhouses are an important part of modern agriculture. They allow farmers to extend the growing season of a crop as in some parts; they are limited. By enclosing their crops in the greenhouse, they can create a favorable climate for them, allowing them to grow despite the non favourable weather outside.
They also provide protection from natural disasters and pests. Extreme weather events like hail, frost, and storms can damage the plants. Conning them inside a greenhouse can protect them. They also help provide a barrier against the pests. This reduces the need for chemical pesticides and lowers the chances of infestation.
Greenhouse
Following are the advantages of including the technology of greenhouse in your farming practice.
Ÿ You can have an optimal climate for your plants to grow. The greenhouses offer precise control over factors like temperature, humidity, and light levels.
Ÿ With this precise control over the climate, you can extend the growing season and have a consistent year-round production. It increases the quality of crops as well.
Ÿ The controlled environment creates a physical barrier. This helps in keeping out the pests and reduces the use of harmful pesticides and fungicides.
Ÿ This method enables efcient resource utilization such as water, light, energy, and fertilizers, compared to traditional farming.
Ÿ It enables you to cultivate a diverse range of crops, allowing you to produce exotic or out-of-season fruits and vegetables to meet the market demand.
Ÿ It enables you to integrate smart agricultural technologies like precision agriculture and remote monitoring systems. This helps in reducing labor costs and automating processes.
Ÿ It prevents your plants from extreme conditions and birds and animals that can harm the crops.
Ÿ Greenhouses are multifunctional and can support a diverse range of plant species under one roof.
