What is Greenhouse?

Greenhouse, also known as greenhouse, refers to a room equipped with facilities such as cold protection, heating and light transmission, for growing thermophilic plants in winter. In the seasons that are not suitable for plant growth, it can provide growth period and increase yield. It is mostly used for plant cultivation or seedling cultivation of temperature-loving vegetables, flowers, forests and so on in low temperature season. A greenhouse refers to a building that can control or partially control the growth environment of plants. Mainly used for non-seasonal or non-regional plant cultivation, scientific research, plus generation breeding and ornamental plant cultivation, etc.

There are many types of greenhouses, which can be divided into many types according to different roof truss materials, lighting materials, shapes and heating conditions, such as glass greenhouses, plastic polycarbonate greenhouses; single-span greenhouses, multi-span greenhouses; single-roof greenhouses, double-span greenhouses Roof greenhouse; heating greenhouse, non-heating greenhouse, etc. The greenhouse structure should be sealed and insulated, but it should be convenient for ventilation and cooling. The modern greenhouse is equipped with equipment for controlling temperature, humidity, light and other conditions, and is automatically controlled by a computer to create the best environmental conditions required by plants.

The greenhouse is a building that uses lighting covering materials as all or part of the enclosure structure material, which can be used to cultivate plants in winter or other seasons that are not suitable for open field plant growth.

The greenhouse function classification can be divided into production greenhouses, experimental (educational) greenhouses and commercial greenhouses that allow the public to enter according to the final use function of the greenhouse. Vegetable cultivation greenhouses, flower cultivation greenhouses, and breeding greenhouses are all production greenhouses; artificial climate rooms, greenhouse laboratories, etc. are experimental (educational) greenhouses; various ornamental greenhouses, retail greenhouses, and commodity wholesale greenhouses are all commercial greenhouses.

Greenhouses can be divided into thin-film greenhouses, glass greenhouses, and plastic greenhouses according to their materials.
