Elite Greenhouses And What It Offer

Overview 

What come to mind when we hear the word greenhouse are structures that are commonly covered with either transparent glass or translucent plastic films, made to grow plants. Its popularity over the years has been developed and there are two ways of doing this. One is through a full controlled environment while the other is a partially controlled one. These are dependent on the plant one wants to grow when using greenhouses.

This technology has been proven as an effective means to grow plants even in areas where there are extreme climate conditions of either a high rainfall or excessive sun. These greenhouses are also the best in space utilization too. The glass or plastic covering were meant to act as filters of the UV radiation emitted by the sun. Since there is control in the temperature inside once the rays of the sun are trapped, it is now known as “greenhouse effect”. 

Types of Greenhouses 

Learn the four different types of greenhouses as follows: 

·        Hi tech greenhouse- makes use of high technological advancement in providing a controlled climate condition that is mostly made in greater capacity. These greenhouses like the Elite Greenhouse can resist strong winds and are made not as a single structure but are in interlinked structures. 

·        Greenhouse with cooling system like shutters, cooling fans, evaporative cooling that can provide ways of beating excessive heat that are harmful for the plants and crops. Most of these cooling systems are designed for the particular climate condition of the location and also for the area covered by the greenhouse. Through this the needs of the plant will be addressed promoting the best growth of crops and plants.

 ·        Bamboo greenhouses or wooden type – these are making use of the available materials around like bamboo and wood to fabricate a greenhouse. 

·        Natural Ventilated greenhouse – these are the type of greenhouses that makes use of natural ventilations to provide the temperature requirement of the greenhouse.

 What are the types of flowers and plants?

 These are from fruit trees, vegetables and flowery plants that are commonly grown in greenhouses.

 1.      Fruits – like papaya, strawberry and others that are smaller plants or trees

2.      Vegetables – capsicum, tomato, radish, cauliflower, chili, cabbage, okra, coriander and onions

3.      Flowery – orchids, marigold and chrysanthemum

Advantages:

1.      Reduce irrigation requirements than the normal farming method since moisture is trapped inside.

2.      Reduce the cropping time and increase the crop quality.

3.      It caters to the humidity and temperature of the growing crops

4.      Allows growing of off-season crops

5.      Promotes growth of high valued crops

6.      Control of pests is achievable.

7.      This allows versatility in growing crops previously only grown is specific climate conditions.

 Final Take

 The above advantages have proven the reason why greenhouse farming is presently being used and the importance it has gained in the field of agriculture.
