Agriculture is a tedious process, where cultivation requires a lot of tactics and experience involved in it. That too when it comes to growing plants in a closed environment such as in the greenhouse it is indeed a great challenge. It is usually not the quantity is of main consideration in these kinds of cultivations. The main reason of interest will be in improve the rate of growth and attain quicker plants and plants that of their best quality.
Growth improve:
Improvement is a process, which is all ways felt in all levels. Even the most high-level thinkers have the question what to do to make it better. Here is some category of advice to improve growing at greenhouse.
Straw-bale process:
This is a new process in which a lot of research is going on in the current scenario. This is to use straw bales instead of the conventional sand. The reason is simple, the straw bales are in every way far more better than sand. When they are in wet condition they provide with lot of air and moisture. In addition to it they release nutrients at a low rate and give out heat due to decomposition, which is a best-suited condition for warm temperature required plants. The best-suited straw for this process is the wheat straw since it has a low decomposition rate. This makes it suited for the cultivation in the greenhouse environment.
Climate controllers:
When ever the best environmental conditions are provided to the plant the growth of the plant is three fold than the plants, which are grown in ordinary conditions. For this purpose we use the climate conditioner. This is capable of adjusting the atmospheric temperature to the required plant conditions. The climate conditioner is nothing but a control device of the whole greenhouse. This is capable of providing the required climate to the plants. As a additional feature to this it is also capable of providing controlled rate of water to the plants and also the moisture in air.
Watering:
This is a major requirement for the plants irrespective of the type of plant that is grown. So the plants has to be provided with the best timely water provided to it. It should strict to a proper schedule.
Greenhouse cultivation is very hard. To make the improve in growth use the straw bale process which is good moisture and air provider along with a low rate of nutrient provider. Then next is the climate controller providing optimum conditions for the plant. Last is the watering that has to be maintained.

In winter season the climate other than the equatorial and temperate regions are very severe that growing vegetables are almost impossible in that temperature. For this it reasons all the houses situated in that region have a greenhouse adjacent to their house. Greenhouse is a small building where the temperature is made to be higher than the surroundings and it is used to cultivate the plants.
Principle of Working
In ordinary greenhouse the heating element is the sun where the temperature is increased in the greenhouse by trapping the sunlight inside the greenhouse. This is done with the help of inclined glass rooftops in the greenhouse. As the glass sheets are inclined they make the heat rays to go into them and when they return to them after reflecting they come and fall on the glass due to total internal reflection the heat rays are reflected a no of times thus by causing the increased temperature in the greenhouse. In the case of climate controllers provided it is capable of providing a temperature of 70 degree Celsius when the outside temperature is as low as 0 degrees. This is only done by the best internal design of the greenhouse.
Quality and Quantity
In considering the production rate and quality of the vegetables grown in the greenhouse with the vegetables that are grown in the field, the vegetables that are grown in the greenhouse are as good as the ones that are grown in the field. To say the truth the greenhouse vegetables are better then those vegetables that are grown in the field due to the reason that they are grown in a controlled environment where as there counter parts are prone to drastic temperature variations. The production rate in the greenhouse is larger than the field because the wastage is minimal in the case of greenhouse where as the field there is a equal chance weeds getting grown along with a higher probability of attack from the pests.
Cost Involved
The cost involved in growing the vegetables in the greenhouse is slightly higher than the field. But the quality of the vegetables got is high and even. This make the manufactures to incur with the greenhouse cost excess.
The vegetable growth in the greenhouse is accompanied with its own pros and cons. The principle involved in the greenhouse is controlled environment in addition with trapping of sunlight. The production rate and the quality associated with the vegetables in the greenhouse are high compared to their counter parts. Though the cost involved is high it is bearable.

The production of vegetables is largely altered when considering in the summer and winter. The production rate is much higher than what we get in the winter. This is of the usual scenario till last year. But there is appreciable growth in the current production year.
Reason for low production :
During winter seasons the climate in the area nearly drops to 0 degrees. This temperature is not suited for the vegetables that are grown in the area. The climate will retard the growth of the plant causing it give a low production rate. The vegetables water content gets frozen due to the cold temperature and this will cause the dying of plants and in some cases change in the chemical composition too. This is the main reason felt with the plants in the cold region by the vegetable farmers.
Steps to improve it:
The conventional process taken to overcome this difficulty faced by the farmers is by making use of the greenhouse climate to them. The greenhouse is a place where the whole room covered with the glasses so it will trap the sunlight in the room and cause a high temperature in the room than the surrounding to make the plants to grow fine as they grow in the summer. The plants also are easy to maintain in a closed atmosphere. The pest control is of a easy task over these areas. Then about considering the watering and other phenomenon more controlled environment can be provided to the plants grown in these areas. The growing rate can be improved in these plants by the usage of straw bales in the process. It is the wheat straw that are used often in their process.
Production Maintenance:
The production rate improvement can most significantly maintained by the use of more conventional implementation of the production laws. The first thing is removal of wastages, which can be achieved in the vegetables by eliminating the occurrence of defects in the vegetables. So the pest control and proper fertilizers has to be provided to the plants. In addition to it the transport defects has to mean and the necessary steps has to be taken to avoid it. The vegetable automation can be implemented to improve the production rate by reducing its ideal time. The periodic growth has to be improved by the use of inducers and catalyst to the on going process in the plants.
The production rate of vegetables in winter is very less. Shifting from the conventional growing process and using the greenhouse growing can improvise this. Then by using the production laws the rate of failure occurrence can be minimized. The other thing that has to be done is use the current technologies available.

Fishmeal is an important commercial product that is obtained by processing the bones and whole fish. The processing stage removes all oil contents and leaves out brownish powder or cake like substance termed as fishmeal. All these operations are carried out in plant called as fishmeal plants. This product is ultra rich in protein and is widely used as protein providers for poultry and aquaculture. Some of the leading countries producing fishmeal include Peru, China, Thailand, Japan and USA. The total productions of fishmeal all over the world are more than 6.5 millions.
Why fishmeal plants ?
More than half of the catches that are made in sea consist of fish waste and other less valuable sources of the fish hence it will be a wonderful option to establish a fishmeal plant that will covert those waste fish catches into useful fish products, which is of great significance. These fishes are important types of raw material that is used to produce fishmeal of various grades and quality.
Fishmeal is also widely used as a food source for variety of purposes such as poultry, pigs, cattle and sheep. They can be of great importance in enhancing the quality of poultry and others by fattening them. fishmeal also fulfills all the protein requirements
Fishmeal plant by-product
One of the important by-products that are obtained during the process of fish to produce fishmeal is fish oil. Fish oil is used for variety of purposes in farming, tanning industries, soaps, candles and many other purposes associated with home such as paints.
Fish meals have also been found to be an excellent source for the development of fish productions. These are especially more effective for fishes that grows in sea such salmon, sea perch farming and trout.
Thus there are varieties of useful products that can be obtained in fishmeal plants.
Fishmeal plants are very much important in production of protein rich powder that can be used for variety of purposes such in animal farming such as poultry, sheep, cattle and many others. There are many advantages in setting up fishmeal plant due to the great feasibility in producing variety of useful products

It’s a well a known fact that plants require sufficient amount of water to survive. With no chances of obtaining natural water sources for the plants placed in greenhouse, there is a great need to develop an artificial greenhouse irrigation to fulfill the water requirements of plants.
Why greenhouse irrigation?
Watering the plants using the water cans will solve a part of this problem but the efficiency of this method will be very less and also there is a great amount of hand work that is required to water plants. This method will only let the user to water plants only to a certain extent and the entire plant region cannot be covered using this method. There is also other option of using hose pipe to water the plants, but it will not be possible to water the targeted region. Hence there is a great demand for greenhouse irrigation that will greatly water all the areas in a uniform manner
Nowadays, it has become possible to water all the parts of the greenhouse in an automated manner using irrigation systems such as drip irrigation, sprinklers, misters and seep hoses. The watering operation can be operated by using parts such as controllers and sensors.
Automatic greenhouse irrigation
There are water timers that will be very significant in watering the plants in regular interval of time all through the day. There are many advantages that are associated with this system since it will let you to irrigate the greenhouse even during night time without your actual presence. This can also be of great importance in watering the plants when you go out from your home for a period of time.
There are also special instruments that will measure soil moisture and will water plants according to specific needs of plants, hence maintaining proper water requirements in the best possible manner.
Article Summary: Greenhouse irrigation is an essential part that should be given prime importance since these are the only source that provides water to the plant and prevent drying up of soil. There are many technologically advanced methods that will be providing many good solutions for water requirements of plan. There are also methods to automate this greenhouse irrigation process to maintain proper watering of plants.

Conventional irrigation system is confined with number of disadvantages to be associated with. The development of the facilities in agriculture has prompted people to adopt drip irrigation for carrying out all agricultural practices. Drip irrigation provides several features when compared with the
Drip irrigation for vegetable gardens
Vegetable gardens are irrigated by drip irrigation in modern agricultural practice.. Gardens employ different kinds of plants to be grown under one shelter. This makes the work of gardener to be difficult in maintaining the garden. So it is advisable to use drip irrigation technique to have programmed watering of plants. This enables proper maintenance of moisture level in the ground. Since vegetable plants require different watering for obtaining better growth of plants.
Tips for getting efficient drip irrigation for vegetable gardens
It is essential to maintain adequate level of pressure in the tubing of drip irrigation. The micro irrigation technique can aid planned watering of younger plants. The watering of large and grown plants can be done using different types of emitters. Overall usage of water can be optimized with some practical testing of the drip irrigation system after installation. Vegetable plants like carrot can require only adequate amount of moisture to be maintained through out its growth cycle. So it is advisable for the designers to use multiple emitters and bubblers to carryout watering of those plants. Stream bubblers can be used for watering plants like tomato. The constant moisture can be preserved in the vegetable garden by drip irrigation technique.
Advantages of drip irrigation in vegetable gardens
Vegetable gardens with drip irrigation involve splitters used to channel the water for different plants. These can reduce the overall wastage of water yielding to effective water conservation. Drip irrigation provides random type watering enabling elimination of the weeds in vegetable garden. Vegetable gardens are prevented from soil erosion by using modular drip irrigation system.

Harvest: Hazelnut harvest in our country is usually done by hand picking and shaking the tree and collecting the nuts that fall. Hand picking method has been prevalent in earlier years, but the growth in production and manpower costs has made the latter method more feasible.
Storage: Hazelnuts are stored in sacks or in large containers. The warehouses that will store nuts should:
It makes cakes, beautiful and delicious
- Have a few opposing windows open for ventilation with protection against winged pests.
- Not be warmer than 15 or 20 degrees.
- Not have water pipes run through them.
- Have walls that will not let moisture through after constant rain.
If the nuts will be stored for more than one year, the temperature shouldn’t be above 4 degrees and the moisture should be around %60.
Pruning: Pruning of hazels start with initial shaping when they are first planted. Throughout their productive lives, pruning is one of the most important actions that help with yearly growth, yield and lifetime. Pruning causes trees to grow in shapes that allow more production and help with harvest and pest control. The pruning of root shoots keeps the nutrients for trees that produce hazelnuts.
