Greenhouse
Herb greenhouses are specialized structures that are designed to
provide an optimal environment for growing herbs plants. Herb is a versatile crop that has a wide range of
applications, from industrial use to medicinal and recreational
use. It is also an environmentally-friendly crop that can be grown
with minimal impact on the environment. A herbs greenhouse is designed to provide the ideal conditions for the
growth of this plant, including temperature, humidity, and
lighting.
Herb greenhouses can be designed in different sizes and shapes,
depending on the grower's needs and available space. They are
typically made of metal frames or wooden frames, with a covering
material made of glass or polycarbonate panels. Some growers also
use plastic films as a cheaper alternative to glass or
polycarbonate. The frames are designed to support the covering
material and to withstand strong winds and heavy snow loads. A herbs greenhouse may also have additional structures such as heating,
cooling, and ventilation systems, as well as irrigation and
lighting systems.
During the vegetative stage, herbs plants require long hours of light exposure (18-24 hours of light
per day) to promote vegetative growth. However, during the
flowering stage, herbs plants require 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness per day to induce
flower production. If natural light is allowed to enter the
greenhouse during the dark period, the plants may not produce as
many flowers as desired, resulting in reduced yield. To prevent
natural light from entering the greenhouse during the dark period,
growers can install a blackout system. This system typically
consists of a covering material, such as a heavy-duty fabric or
plastic film, that can be rolled out over the greenhouse to
completely block out all light. The covering material is typically
opaque and light-tight, and is secured around the edges of the
greenhouse to prevent any light leaks.
Feature | Description |
|---|
| Temperature | Controlled by heating and cooling systems to maintain ideal
temperature of 60-80°F (15-27°C) |
| Humidity | Controlled by humidifiers and dehumidifiers to maintain ideal
humidity levels of 50-70% |
| Lighting | High-pressure sodium or LED lights are used and are set on timers
to provide the optimal amount of light for the plants |
| Ventilation | Provided by exhaust fans and vents to regulate airflow and prevent
the buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases |
| Growing Medium | Soil-based, hydroponic, or combination of both depending on grower
preferences and plant needs |
| Security | Surveillance cameras, alarms, fencing, and security guards are used
to protect against theft and vandalism |
A blackout system is a type of shading system that is used to
completely block out all light from a greenhouse. This system is
typically used in commercial greenhouse operations to control the
growth cycle of plants, particularly those that are sensitive to
light, such as herbs and certain ornamental plants.
