Improve Growing at Greenhouse

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.

The Protected Cultivation of Peppers

Peppers are an important vegetable in that they contain high calorie value, Vitamin C and plentiful mineral substances. Pepper cultivation covers a 15% area of total greenhouse vegetable cultivation. Protected pepper cultivation is generally done in a single crop during the spring seasons. As tomatoes suffer from a higher percentage of viruses during the fall season, spring is the preferred season to grow peppers. In greenhouses, registered varieties or varieties with production permits (as well as hybrid seeds) are used. The first requirement for success in pepper cultivation is to choose the variety most appropriate for the season and then set out to grow healthy and robust seedlings. Read the rest of this entry »
