BASICS OF GREENHOUSE, TYPES OF GREENHOUSE, COMPONENTS OF GREENHOUSE, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND THEIR EFFECT ON PLANT GROWTH
Greenhouse:
It is a framed or inflated structures covered with transparent or translucent material large enough to grow crops under partial or fully controlled environmental conditions to get optimum growth and productivity.
Principles of greenhouse:
The greenhouse cultivation based upon the principle called as greenhouse effects.
Greenhouse transmit the solar energy inside the structure. This energy absorbed by the crops and the objects inside the house releasing light of long wave length, finally this light does not emit out as the cladding material is non-transparent for these light.
Finally the light gets trapped inside increasing the inside temperature. This rise in temperature in greenhouse is responsible for plant growth in cold climate.
However during summer increase in temperature can be managed by ventilation and cooling system, as in this period temperature rose beyond the critical temperature.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. COMPONENTS OF GREENHOUSE / POLY-HOUSE
Foundation: The foundation must resist overturning
and vertical pressure from structural loads and snow,
and should extend below the frost line. Concrete is the
most appropriate material for permanent structures. A
2,500 PSI or greater mix should be chosen when ready-
mix concrete is used.
Structural Components:
1. Side Wall:
It supports the trusses and bears the weight of the
greenhouse.
Set in concrete footings
Typically spaced 10 feet apart
4. 2.Curtain Wall:
The first several feet of sidewall above the soil line.
Usually made of some solid building material such as poured
concrete, concrete blocks, bricks, or treated lumber.
3. Sill: It is top of the curtain wall.
4. Eave:
Where the sides of the greenhouse join the roof of the
greenhouse.
The “top” of the sides of the greenhouse.
6. Truss:
Structural component that supports the weight of the
greenhouse roof.
Consists of rafters, struts, and chords.
7. Purlin :
Purlins run along the length of the greenhouse.
Keep the roof trusses aligned.
5. 8. Ridge :
Where the roofs come together at the top of the greenhouse.
Many greenhouses have a ridge vent(s).
9. Side posts and columns:
These are vertical supports that dictate the height of the
production area. These range from one to ten feet in height
and should be given serious consideration since they directly
influence efficiency
10. Sash Bar:
Run perpendicular to the purlins.
Attached to the purlins.
Hold the glazing in place.
Sometimes built with a drip groove or channel to catch
condensation that forms on the inside of the glass panels

Quonset Greenhouse
Greenhouse Type Based on Utility
Greenhouses for Active Heating
Greenhouses for Active Cooling

Greenhouse Type Based on Covering Materials
Glass Greenhouses
Plastic Film Greenhouses
Rigid Panel Greenhouses
9. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON SHAPE
Lean-to Type Greenhouse
A lean-to design is used when
the greenhouse is placed
against the side of an existing
building. This design makes
the best use of sunlight and
minimizes the requirement of
roof supports. The roof of the
building is extended with
appropriate greenhouse
covering material and the area
is properly enclosed.
10. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON SHAPE
Even Span Type Greenhouse
In this type, the two roof
slopes are of equal pitch and
width. This design is used for
the greenhouse of small size,
and it is constructed on leveled
ground. Several single and
multiple span types are
available for use in various
regions of India. For single
span type, the span in general
varies from 5 to 9 m, whereas
the length is around 24 m. The
height varies from 2.5 to 4.3
m.
11. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON SHAPE
Uneven Span Type Greenhouse
This type of greenhouse is
constructed on hilly terrain. The
roofs are of unequal width,
which make the structure
adaptable to the side slopes of
hill. This type of greenhouses is
seldom used now-a-days as it is
not adaptable for automation.
12. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON SHAPE
Ridge and Furrow Type Greenhouse
Designs of this type use two or more A-frame greenhouses connected
to one another along the length of the eave. The eave serves as a furrow
or gutter to carry rain and melted snow away. The side walls are
eliminated between the greenhouses, which results in a structure with a
single large interior. Consolidation of interior space reduces labour,
lowers the cost of automation, improves personal management and
reduces fuel consumption, as there is less exposed wall area through
which heat escapes.
13. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON SHAPE
Saw Tooth Type Greenhouse
These are also similar to the ridge and furrow type greenhouses
except that, there is provision for natural ventilation In this type.
Specific natural ventilation flow path develops in a saw tooth type
greenhouse.
14. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON SHAPE
Quonset Greenhouse
In quonset greenhouse, the pipe
arches or trusses are supported
by pipe purlins running along the
length of the greenhouse. In
general, the covering material
used for this type of greenhouses
is polyethylene. Such
greenhouses are typically less
expensive than the gutter
connected greenhouses and are
useful when a small isolated
cultural area is required. These
houses are connected either in
free standing style or arranged in
an interlocking ridge and furrow.
15. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON UTILITY
Greenhouses for Active Heating
During the night time, the air temperature inside greenhouse
decreases and to avoid the cold bite to plants due to freezing,
some amount of heat has to be supplied. The requirements for
heating greenhouse depend on the rate at which the heat is lost
to the outside environment. Various methods are adopted to
reduce the heat losses, namely, using double layer polyethylene,
thermopane glasses (two layers of factory sealed glass with dead
air space) or to use heating systems, such as unit heaters, central
heat, radiant heat and solar heating system.
16. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON UTILITY
Greenhouses for Active Cooling
During summer season, it is desirable to reduce the temperatures
of greenhouse than the ambient temperatures, for effective crop
growth. Hence suitable modifications are made so that large
volumes of cooled air are drawn into greenhouse. This type of
greenhouse either consists of evaporative cooling pad with fan
or fog cooling. This greenhouse is designed in such a way that it
permits a roof opening of 40% and in some cases nearly 100%.
17. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON CONSTRUCTION
Wooden Framed Structures
In general, for greenhouses with span less than 6 m, only
wooden framed structures are used. Side posts and columns are
constructed of wood without the use of a truss. Pine wood is
commonly used as it is inexpensive and possesses the required
strength. Timber locally available, with good strength, durability
and machinability also can be used for the construction.
18. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON CONSTRUCTION
Pipe Framed Structures
When the clear span is around 12 m, pipes are used for the
construction of greenhouses. In general, the side posts, columns,
cross-ties and purlins are constructed using pipes. Trusses are
not used also in this type of greenhouse. The pipe components
are not interconnected but depend on the attachment to the sash
bars for support.
20. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON CONSTRUCTION
Truss Framed Structures
If the greenhouse span is greater than or equal to 15 m, truss
frames are used (Fig. 2.10). Flat steel, tubular steel or angle iron
is welded together to form a truss encompassing rafters, chords
and struts. Struts are support members under compression and
chords are support members under tension. Angle iron purlins
running throughout the length of greenhouse are bolted to each
truss. Columns are used only in very wide truss frame houses of
21.3 m or more. Most of the glass houses are of truss frame
type, as these frames are best suited for pre-fabrication.
22. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON COVERING
MATERIALS
Glass Greenhouses
Only glass greenhouses with glass as the covering material
existed prior to 1950. Glass as covering material has the
advantage of greater interior light intensity. These greenhouses
have higher air infiltration rate, which leads to lower interior
humidity and better disease prevention. Lean-to type, even span,
ridge and furrow type of designs are used for construction of
glass greenhouse.
23. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON COVERING
MATERIALS
Plastic Film Greenhouses
Flexible plastic films including polyethylene, polyester and
polyvinyl chloride are used as covering material in this type of
greenhouses. Plastics as covering material for greenhouses have
become popular, as they are cheap and the cost of heating is less
when compared to glass greenhouses. The main disadvantage
with plastic films is its short life as the covering material. For
example, the best quality ultraviolet (UY) stabilized film can
last for four years only. Quonset design as well as gutter-
connected design is suitable for using this covering material.
24. GREENHOUSE TYPE BASED ON COVERING
MATERIALS
Rigid Panel Greenhouses
Polyvinyl chloride rigid panels, fiber glass-reinforced plastic,
acrylic and polycarbonate rigid panels are employed as the
covering material in this type of greenhouses. These panels can
be used in the quonset type frames or ridge and furrow type
frames. This material is more resistant to breakage and the light
intensity is uniform throughout the greenhouse when compared
to glass or plastic. High grade panels have long life even up to
20 years. The main disadvantage is that these panels tend to
collect dust as well as to harbor algae, which results in
darkening of the panels and subsequent reduction in the light
transmission. There is significant danger of fire hazard.
