Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

StarStarStarStar

A pest control strategy that uses a variety of complementary methods: mechanical devices, physical devices, genetic, biological, legal, cultural management, and chemical management. It's important for sustainable pest control in greenhouses.

StarStarStarStar

Photosynthesis

StarStarStarStar

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with carbon dioxide and water. It's significant in greenhouse management for optimizing plant growth and productivity.

StarStarStarStar

Transpiration

StarStarStarStar

The process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts. In greenhouses, managing transpiration can help control humidity and plant hydration.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Sterilization

StarStarStarStar

The process of eliminating soil pathogens and pests through physical or chemical means. This is significant for preparing the soil to reduce the risk of plant diseases in a greenhouse setting.

StarStarStarStar

Thermal Curtain

StarStarStarStar

A movable layer of insulation applied within a greenhouse to save energy. It is significant for maintaining optimal temperatures and reducing heating costs.

StarStarStarStar

Carbon Dioxide Enrichment

StarStarStarStar

The practice of increasing the concentration of CO2 in the greenhouse atmosphere to enhance plant growth. The significance lies in potentially boosting photosynthesis and crop yield.

StarStarStarStar

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

StarStarStarStar

Systems that provide heating, cooling, and ventilation for a greenhouse environment. These are significant in regulating the internal climate to optimal conditions for plant growth.

StarStarStarStar

Hydroponics

StarStarStarStar

A method of growing plants without soil by instead using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Greenhouses may use hydroponics to increase yield and reduce disease risk.

StarStarStarStar

Humidity Control

StarStarStarStar

The process of regulating the moisture level in the air. In greenhouse management, it's essential for preventing plant diseases and promoting optimal plant growth.

StarStarStarStar

Plant Propagation

StarStarStarStar

The process of creating new plants from a variety of sources: seeds, cuttings, bulbs, and other plant parts. It's a key aspect in greenhouse management for producing a large number of plants efficiently.

StarStarStarStar

Fertigation

StarStarStarStar

The injection of fertilizers, soil amendments, and other water-soluble products into an irrigation system. Fertigation is used in greenhouses for efficient distribution of nutrients to the plants.

StarStarStarStar

Photoperiodism

StarStarStarStar

The physiological reaction of organisms to the length of day or night. In greenhouse management, it's crucial for controlling flowering times and growth cycles of plants.

StarStarStarStar

Irrigation Scheduling

StarStarStarStar

The process of determining the correct amount and frequency of water application. Effective irrigation scheduling in greenhouse management saves water and ensures optimal plant growth.

StarStarStarStar

Growing Medium

StarStarStarStar

The substrate in which plants are grown. It can be soil, peat, perlite, rockwool, or others. The significance lies in providing support and nutrients to the plants in a greenhouse.

StarStarStarStar

Drainage and Leaching

StarStarStarStar

The removal of excess water and soluble substances from the soil. In greenhouse management, proper drainage and leaching prevent salt accumulation and ensure healthy root systems.

StarStarStarStar

Glazing

StarStarStarStar

The transparent material covering a greenhouse which allows light to enter for plant growth. The choice of glazing is significant for controlling light, insulation properties, and overall greenhouse efficiency.

StarStarStarStar

Shading Systems

StarStarStarStar

Devices or structures designed to protect plants from excessive sunlight. These systems are significant in preventing plant stress and scorching during peak sunlight hours in a greenhouse.

StarStarStarStar

Climatic Zones

StarStarStarStar

Designated areas within a greenhouse with specific environmental controls. Different climatic zones allow the cultivation of various crops with distinct environmental needs in the same greenhouse.
