Abstract:
In a greenhouse, plants are shielded from a variety of climatic factors such as wind, cold, precipitation, intense radiation, extreme heat, insects and diseases. Greenhouses are extensively used to grow ornamental crops, which need proper ventilation, especially in the summer. The primary purpose of a greenhouse is to improve plant development conditions while reducing dependency on environmental factors. Greenhouse heating is done by conduction, convection and radiation. The greenhouse's natural ventilation system is essential for controlling the climate. Bamboo greenhouse, mulching and hydroponic system these are also forms of protected cultivation. Designing a greenhouse requires careful consideration of the regional climate and geographical latitude. High quality material for greenhouse construction ensures the longer life of structure. Folding roof greenhouse works well in snowy conditions. Intense agriculture that uses readily available resources, recycles data, and maintains productivity in the greenhouse is greenhouse automation. It is a very authentic, efficient, and modern form of agriculture. In addition to saving time and labour-intensive manual work, wireless devices provide accurate data when compared to conventional agriculture. When the outside climate is suitable, open-roof greenhouses provide a natural habitat for plant growth and when the outside climate is unsuitable (Too hot or too cold) artificial environment are provided. An open roof greenhouse shield plants from low night-time temperature and higher day temperatures without using a mechanical fan for ventilation. The distribution of air temperature and relative humidity has a significant impact on uniform development of crops in a greenhouse.
