2. The implementation of greenhouses has
many advantages, but also its drawbacks
since they can cause some type of impact
on the environment. A greenhouse is a
metallic or plastic structure covered by
translucent materials to achieve maximum
light inside. In this way, this tool causes
artificial conditions (microclimate) that
generate greater productivity for plants (at
a minimum cost and in less time). The
greenhouse protects plants from
environmental damage such as frost, strong
winds, hail, and pests.
3. THE ADVANTAGES OF THE GREENHOUSE ARE BENEFICIAL
FOR INTENSIVE AGRICULTURE. FIRST, INSULATION FROM
THE OUTSIDE HELPS PROMOTE BETTER CONDITIONS FOR
PLANTS. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE STRUCTURE SERVES
AS CLIMATE CONTROL, AVOIDING DAMAGE CAUSED BY
THE WEATHER.
4. Dragonflies
These flying insects feed on other insects and
have extraordinary eyesight to hunt them. They
mainly prey on flies and mosquitoes. They lay
their eggs in water, where they live for a few
weeks to several years.
5. Pests
Specifically, a closed
environment that allows
favorable climatic
conditions for cultivation
can lead to more pests and
diseases than outdoor
cultivation. However,
greenhouses are ideal for
using phytosanitary
products since it reduces
losses, allowing the
application of lower doses.
6. The greenhouse environment is
independent of the indoors, and
you can produce at any time of
the year, regardless of extreme
seasonal temperatures. In this
context, you can implement
heating, ventilation, and cooling
depending on the plant¿s
requirements and season.
You Can Cultivate
Throughout the
Year
7. Higher Quality
Products
Plants are not exposed to physical
wear produced by elements such (as
rain and strong winds, hailstorms, or
high solar radiation). For that reason,
the final product’s quality is higher. It
allows you to obtain more profits when
selling it and find exportation markets.
