Guwahati: Be it food crops or cash crops about 95% of the plants grow up in open fields. They have been continuously cultivating some high-value crops by improving the method of cultivation and protecting them from extreme cold – that is called greenhouse technology.
Greenhouse Technology is the technique of providing favorable environment condition to the plants. It is rather used to protect the plants from the adverse climatic conditions such as wind, cold, precipitation, excessive radiation, extreme temperature, insects and diseases.
Greenhouse technology is a technique by which the plant is given a favorable environment and air. Arrangements are made to protect the plant from cold, heat, insects and diseases.
It is very important to create an ideal fine weather around the plant. It is possible by building a greenhouse where the environmental condition is corrected in such a way that the farmer can provide a large cultivation anywhere, at any time, at the cost of less labor.
The greenhouses are fully controlled by the environmental conditions and are made of the material that allows for the maximum growth and production.
A large amount of money is needed to build a high-tech greenhouse. But we can create cheaper greenhouses for us in a completely artificial agricultural land can be created by keeping it separate from outside weather.
Greenhouse cultivation or other types of eco-controlled farming are involved in the creation of fine weather. It makes it possible for the whole year to grow crops as needed.
Other technologies for the production of weather-controlled plants including greenhouses have made it possible to produce high-value foods in unseasonal vegetables and cold weather areas. Plants are mainly seasonal.
Those who produce fruits, vegetables or flowers do so only at certain times of the year. Depending on the weather, the plants grow. Such flowers bloom only for short periods of time if they are in summer for a short period of time.
Since the user controls the climate of the greenhouse, the climate can be adjusted according to the needs of the plant.
It fully measures the length of the crop growth season and helps in the production of various crops. If the flower is grown inside the greenhouse there is a guarantee that the farmer is able to grow flowers. Wetlands can be divided into many categories depending on the size and utility of the greenhouses.
Crops grown in the greenhouse:
Vegetable crops, flowers, medicinal plants can be grown in the shed. The greenhouse is also used as a nursery.
The greenhouse is also a suitable place for tissue culture. Some rare plants and orchids can be grown or produced in the greenhouse. One of the obstacles to the cultivation of the greenhouse system is that only the plants are not connected to the plants. Capsicum, Beans effectively capture the utility of greenhouses in their production of the months that have limited market demand. Strawberry cultivation in greenhouses has also become popular internationally but this has not been widely done in India.
The benefits of greenhouse technology:
1) Increase in production by 5 to 10 times or more.
2) Similar and superior quality production
3) Reduction in labour cost.
4) Less chemical fertilizer is required and thus reduce the cost of fertilizer.
5) Less water is required and thus facilities in water storage.
6) The chances of an attack of the disease are low and thus reduce the cost of controlling the disease.
7. High level of efficiency in the use of water and fertilizers.
8. Farming can also be done in a problematic geographical location.
9) It can also be cultivated on land of problematic conditions.
10) Farming can be done even in difficult weather.
11) Less space is needed to get maximum production and facilities.
12. Greenhouse technology is easy to operate, nurture, and control.
13. Variety of crops and beautiful fruits can be obtained
