Whether you are building a single hoop house or building a ten hectare greenhouse range, new greenhouse construction is part of building your growing business. For many growers the construction process is exciting full of anticipation as you watch your dreams becoming a reality
Merits and demerits of greenhouse cultivationNeel Agrotech
Greenhouse is a mechanism through which farmers can cultivate plants in any season or atmospheric condition without damaging plants from insects & animals. The principle behind greenhouse is maintaining warmness & temperature inside a room of glass so that plants can grow pleasantly without facing any dramatic change in weather. As we know every coin has two side similarly it is applicable on greenhouse too. Greenhouse farming, too has flip side associated with it.
The new techniques which are being innovated by the scientists in the field of agriculture if used wisely can improve the otherwise poor economic status of farmers. The land for cultivation is slowly depleting as the land is being acquired by Government for infra-structure build up, or is being sold by the owners due to poor financial state. The area of land which is available for farming has to be used judiciously and recent tools and techniques needs to be employed, then only high yield could be obtained and the economic condition of agriculturists could improve. The polyhouse technology of crop cultivation is proving beneficial for the farmers. The success stories of polyhouse cultivation are many and still the number is counting.

Potenatials of protected cultivation in indiaDIVYA ARTI
India is the second largest producer of vegetable crops in the world. However, its vegetable production is much less than the requirement if balanced diet is provided to every individual. There are different ways and means to achieve this target, e.g., bringing additional area under vegetable crops using hybrid seeds and use of improved agro-techniques. Another potential approach is perfection and promotion of protected cultivation of vegetables. It is a method where plants are getting protected from adverse conditions like rains, freezing temperature, hailstorm, sun burn, insect and disease pest etc. The main purpose of protected cultivation is to create a favourable environment for the sustained growth of crop so as to realize its maximum potential even in adverse climatic conditions. Protected cultivation offers several advantages like production risk is comparatively less than open field condition, 10-12 times higher yield than that of outdoor cultivation, proper nourishment of the crop, opportunity for year round production of high-value vegetable crops, disease free quality planting material production, efficient utilization of land and resources (Sindhu and Chatterjee 2020) . In hilly areas parts of the country especially in Northern plains the soils are highly fertile but extremes of temperature ranging from 0-48 °C during the year do not allow year round outdoor vegetable cultivation. Similarly, in several parts of the country biotic stresses mainly during rainy & post rainy season, do not allow successful production of vegetables like tomato, chilli, okra, cauliflower etc. in the fields (Wani et al., 2011). DIHAR one of the DRDO laboratories, is providing adequate support and technological help to set various types of green houses, both for the Army Units deployed in the far-flung areas and for the local farmers in the Ladakh (Mishra et al., 2010).

Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) belonging to Class Basidiomycetes and Family Agaricaceae is popularly known as ‘dhingri’ in India and grows naturally in the temperate and tropical forests on dead and decaying wooden logs or sometimes on dying trunks of deciduous or coniferous woods. 20 different mushroom species are commercially cultivated around the world. It may also grow on decaying organic matter. The fruit bodies of this mushroom are distinctly shell or spatula shaped with different shades of white, cream, grey, yellow, pink or light brown depending upon the species. It is one of the most suitable fungal organisms for producing protein rich food from various agro-wastes or forest wastes without composting. Mushrooms have gained recognition in food chain because they contribute nutrition supplements to the food and have High Medicinal and Pharmaceutical value.

Why facility managers are crucial to introducing sustainabilityJohn Machado
As technology becomes more accessible than ever, sustainability initiatives are becoming exponentially easier for companies to implement. Targets are being put in place by companies, motivated by factors like climate awareness, customer expectations or regulations being set by governmental bodies. At the centre of this nexus of change stands the facility manager, making it possible to conceptualise and implement these plans.
Protected cultivation refers to the practice of growing plants in controlled environments such as greenhouses, polyhouses, or tunnels. This method provides protection from adverse weather conditions, pests, and diseases, allowing for extended growing seasons, higher yields, and improved crop quality. It often involves the use of technologies like automated climate control, irrigation systems, and shading to optimize growing conditions and enhance productivity.

Management and Operation Practices of Philmech's Fluidized Bed Dryer: Examini...IJAEMSJORNAL
This descriptive research explores the management and operation practices of PHilMech’s Fluidized Bed Dryer as to challenges, efficiency and impact on its beneficiaries. The findings of the study reveal that the respondents adhere to prescribed guidelines for the administration and operation of the PHilMech Fluidized Bed Dryer, employing explicit, written, easily understood, and enforceable operational policies and procedures. Most of them have assimilated the knowledge acquired through several training programs, as new competencies need to be developed among farmers, particularly those who are introducing machinery. This will enable them to optimize the economic benefits derived from their equipment. There are ongoing challenges in the operation and management of the system that must be resolved to prevent future issues and ensure the system's continued functionality. Furthermore, it is imperative to implement mechanized drying technologies to mitigate postharvest losses and alleviate the labor-intensive and monotonous nature of the drying process. Extensive research has demonstrated the effectiveness and beneficial outcomes of utilizing the fluidized bed drying system, including a reduced drying period for a harvested rice paddy, decreased operating and labor expenses, and a diminished reliance on the laborious and labor-intensive sun drying method.

Intracellular Components
We will now begin our discussion of intracellular organelles. As we have mentioned, only eukaryotic cells have intracellular sub-divisions, so our discussion will exclude prokaryotic cells. We will also focus on animal cells, since plant cells have a number of further specialized structures. In this section we will discuss the importance of the cell nucleus, mitochondria, peroxisomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, and lysosome.
Types of Receptors
Receptors are protein molecules in the target cell or on its surface that bind ligands. There are two types of receptors: internal receptors and cell-surface receptors.
Microbial biomass conversion processes take advantage of the ability of microorganisms to consume and digest biomass and release hydrogen. Depending on the pathway, this research could result in commercial-scale systems in the mid- to long-term timeframe that could be suitable for distributed, semi-central, or central hydrogen production scales, depending on the feedstock used.
The cells derived from root apical and shoot-apical meristems and cambium differentiate and mature to perform specific functions. This act leading to maturation is termed as differentiation. During differentiation, cells undergo few to major structural changes both in their cell walls and protoplasm. The living differentiated cells, that by now have lost the capacity to divide can regain the capacity of division under certain conditions. This phenomenon is termed as dedifferentiation. For example, formation of meristems – interfascicular cambium and cork cambium from fully differentiated parenchyma cells. While doing so, such meristems / tissues are able to divide and produce cells that once again lose the capacity to divide but mature to perform specific functions, i.e., get redifferentiated.
Meat and milk from farmed animals including livestock (cattle, goat and buffalo) and poultry are sources of high quality protein and essential amino acids, minerals, fats and fatty acids, readily available vitamins, small quantities of carbohydrates and other bioactive components.1 The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 2008 estimate shows that meat consumption has grown with increase in population. The average global per capita meat consumption is 42.1 kg/year with 82.9 kg/year in developed and 31.1 kg/year in developing countries in a recommended daily animal-sourced protein per capita of 50 kg per year2. Milk on the other hand is consumed in various forms: liquid, cheese, powder, and cream at a global per capita consumption of 108 kg per person per year which is way below the FAO recommended daily consumption of 200 kg.
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are secreted by B cells (plasma cells) to neutralize antigens such as bacteria and viruses. The classical representation of an antibody is a Y-shaped molecule composed of four polypeptides-two heavy chains and two light chains. Each tip of the "Y" contains a paratope (a structure analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (similarly analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. The ability of binding to an antigen has led to their ubiquitous use in a variety of life science and medical science. These antibodies can be classified into two primary types (monoclonal and polyclonal) by the means in which they are created from lymphocytes. Each of them has important role in the immune system, diagnostic exams, and treatments.
There are many characteristics of biological data. All these characteristics make the management of biological information a particularly challenging problem. Here mainly we will focus on characteristics of biological information and multidisciplinary field called bioinformatics. Bioinformatics, now a days has emerged with graduate degree programs in several universities.
Hormones, Proteins, etc. present in blood in minute concentration can be assayed by the recent advanced technique of “Enzyme Immuno Assay” without involving any disadvantage. The basic reaction is the interaction between an antibody and an antigen.

In shotgun sequencing the genome is broken randomly into short fragments (1 to 2 kbp long) suitable for sequencing. The fragments are ligated into a suitable vector and then partially sequenced. Around 400–500 bp of sequence can be generated from each fragment in a single sequencing run. In some cases, both ends of a fragment are sequenced. Computerized searching for overlaps between individual sequences then assembles the complete sequence.
Sequence assembly refers to aligning and merging fragments from a longer DNA sequence in order to reconstruct the original sequence. This is needed as DNA sequencing technology cannot read whole genomes in one go, but rather reads small pieces of between 20 and 30,000 bases, depending on the technology used. Typically the short fragments, called reads, result from shotgun sequencing genomic DNA, or gene transcript (ESTs).
The problem of sequence assembly can be compared to taking many copies of a book, passing each of them through a shredder with a different cutter, and piecing the text of the book back together just by looking at the shredded pieces. Besides the obvious difficulty of this task, there are some extra practical issues: the original may have many repeated paragraphs, and some shreds may be modified during shredding to have typos. Excerpts from another book may also be added in, and some shreds may be completely unrecognizable.
Vaccine (L. vacca = cow) is a preparation/suspension or extract of dead/attenuated (weakened) germs of a disease which on inoculation (injection) into a healthy person provides temporary/permanent active/passive immunity by inducing antibodies formation.
Thus antibody provoking agents are called vaccines.
Biological treatment is an important and integral part of any wastewater treatment plant that treats wastewater from either municipality or industry having soluble organic impurities or a mix of the two types of wastewater sources.
The four processes are: (1) Preliminary Treatment (2) Primary Treatment (3) Secondary or Biological Treatment and (4) Tertiary or Advanced Treatment
The genetic variations found in the in vitro cultured cells are collectively referred to as somaclonal variations.
The plants derived from such cells are referred to somaclones. Some authors use the terms calliclones and proto-clones to represent cultures obtained from callus and protoplasts respectively.
The growth of plant cells in vitro is an asexual process involving only mitotic division of cells. Thus, culturing of cells is the method to clone a particular genotype. It is therefore expected that plants arising from a given tissue culture should be the exact copies of the parental plant.
The occurrence of phenotypic variants among the regenerated plants (from tissue cultures) has been known for several years. These variations were earlier dismissed as tissue culture artefacts. The term somaclonal variations was first used by Larkin and Scowcraft (1981) for variations arising due to culture of cells, i.e., variability generated by a tissue culture. This term is now universally accepted.
As described elsewhere the explant used in tissue culture may come from any part of the plant organs or cells. These include leaves, roots, protoplasts, microspores and embryos. Somaclonal variations are reported in all types of plant tissue cultures.
In recent years, the term gametoclonal variations is used for the variations observed in the regenerated plants from gametic cells (e.g., anther cultures). For the plants obtained from protoplast cultures, proto-clonal variations is used.
Solid waste management is a polite term for garbage management. As long as humans have been living in settled communities, solid waste, or garbage, has been an issue, and modern societies generate far more solid waste than early humans ever did.
The chemical compounds produced by plants are collectively referred to as phytochemicals. Biotechnologists have special interest in plant tissue culture for the large scale production of commercially important compounds. These include pharmaceuticals, flavours, fragrances, cosmetics, food additives, feed stocks and antimicrobials.
Most of these products are secondary metabolites— chemical compounds that do not participate in metabolism of plants. Thus, secondary metabolites are not directly needed by plants as they do not perform any physiological function (as is the case with primary metabolites such as amino acids, nucleic acids etc.). Although the native plants are capable of producing the secondary metabolites of commercial interest, tissue culture systems are preferred.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Best Practices for Commercial Greenhouse Construction Projects (Green house
technology)
Whether you are building a single hoop house or building a ten hectare greenhouse range,
new greenhouse construction is part of building your growing business. For many growers
the construction process is exciting full of anticipation as you watch your dreams becoming
a reality.. Here are the GGS greenhouse growers’ best practices:
3. Planning for long term goals first
Very few greenhouse construction projects are built to cover the entire property in one
build. In most cases, finances, time, and current market demands are not in place at the
beginning for the size you want to become. So by looking at your greenhouse business’
future goals you can avoid some costly layout mistakes, and increase the efficient scalability
of your greenhouse. A well-planned layout for structures and greenhouse equipment
should include mapping out workflow for the various functions of your operation. Consider
in the future how you will automate, streamline, and adapt to your growing business.
Hiring experienced people
Typically we see three types of greenhouse construction projects:
Do it yourself builders are either smaller growers who have their hands in all aspects of
their business, and work closely with a dedicated team of employees who work in many
cross functional areas of the business; or they are larger greenhouse operators who build
frequently and have experienced builders and maintenance people on their payroll.
1.Greenhouse owners who do their own project management but hire a professional
greenhouse construction company, and other expert crews for installing the greenhouse
structure, heating, irrigation systems, etc.
2. Growers who prefer to focus their energy on their business operations and hire
greenhouse construction turnkey project managers to organize the greenhouse
construction and all the integrated systems.
4. Providing for contingencies in the
construction budget
Whether you are going to the bank for a
loan, or building the greenhouse range
out of cash flow, defining the capital
expenses and ongoing operating costs is
a necessary element for success. But no
matter how good your planning is, on
construction projects there are often
surprise issues. A contingency in the
budget helps reduce your stress and that
of your bank.
Building extra time into your
construction schedule
Just as with unforeseen expenses, timing
on a construction project can go astray.
Perhaps, there is constant rain that
makes the construction site muddy and
slows the crews down, or the employee
in charge of the build resigns. Building in
time for every possibility is of course not
possible, but where it makes sense add
extra time to the critical path.
5. Focusing on quality every step of the way
Your greenhouse structure and the environmental controls and growing systems inside the
greenhouse are long term investments that will yield long term dividends. Starting with
quality puts your operation on the right path from the start, and allows you to focus your
energies on growing your best crop.
New construction decisions include efficient technology
When you are buying quality products for your long term growing success it makes sense to
buy products and systems that will maximize operational efficiencies. This list includes:
1. High efficiency boilers and unit heaters to reduce energy costs.
2. Picking carts, robots, and other material handling systems
3. Environmental computers to automate ventilation, temperature, irrigation, etc.
4. More efficient grow lights to reduce electric consumption
5. Rolling benches
Be purposeful in changing anything from what you are familiar with in the greenhouse
Because the complete greenhouse environment requires interdependence between light
levels, air flow, temperature, humidity, irrigation, etc., changes in how you have grown in
the past need to be done with intentional consideration to the total greenhouse
environment.
6. Use a greenhouse manufacturer who
understands how you want to build
and has the experience to provide
the level of construction assistance
that you need. For do it yourself
projects, a clear set of construction
blueprints and a sales/service
department who can answer
questions during construction are
what you need. On the other end of
the spectrum for turnkey greenhouse
management you need a greenhouse
manufacturer with experience in
project management as well as the
various facets of greenhouse systems
design and installation.
Getting organized from the start with a kickoff meeting
Make sure there is a kickoff meeting to clearly define the different systems that will need to
work together. Shade, CO2, irrigation, fertigation, ventilation, heating all need to work
together to provide the ideal crop environment in your greenhouse. By making sure
everyone on your supply side is aware of the total package you gain more expertise to make
sure that the systems work as planned. Greenhouse construction projects that start with
suppliers and installers working together have a higher satisfaction rate.
7. Keep track of progress as the greenhouse is
built
Know the milestones you want to hit, and visit
the construction site often checking that you
are reaching those milestones, and dealing
with any variations as they occur. A good
greenhouse construction project manager will
have a GANTT chart outlining the start and
end times for all the elements that are going
into your greenhouse build. If you are
managing your own project, this is an easy
way of tracking multiple trades. By staying on
top of the progress you help keep the project
on course, and can rectify minor difficulties
before they become major issues.
Growing a successful greenhouse business
involves much more than just growing the
crop. Greenhouse expansion planning and
greenhouse improvements help growers
improve efficiencies, take advantage of market
opportunities, and provide for employee
growth. At GGS we are proud to be a part of
your growing success.
8. Low Cost Green Houses for Vegetable Production
Agriculture is the backbone of India’s economic activity and our experience during the last
50 years has demonstrated the strong correlation between agricultural growth and
economic prosperity. The present agricultural scenario is a mix of outstanding achievements
and missed opportunities. If India has to emerge as an economic power in the world, our
agricultural productivity should equal those countries, which are currently rated as
economic power of the world. We need a new and effective technology which can improve
continuously the productivity, profitability, sustainability of our major farming systems. One
such technology is the green house technology. Although it is centuries old, it is new to India
Greenhouse Technology: Growing plants is both an art and a science. About 95% of plants,
either food crops or cash crops are grown in open field. Since time immemorial, man has
learnt how to grow plants under natural environmental conditions. In some of the
temperate regions where the climatic conditions are extremely adverse and no crops can be
grown, man has developed methods of growing some high value crop continuously by
providing protection from the excessive cold, which is called as Greenhouse Technology. So,
Greenhouse Technology is the technique of providing favourable environment condition to
the plants. It is rather used to protect the plants from the adverse climatic conditions such
as wind, cold, precepitation, excessive radiation, extreme temperature, insects and diseases.
It is also of vital importance to create an ideal micro climate around the plants. This is
possible by erecting a greenhouse / glass house, where the environmental conditions are so
modified that one can grow any plant in any place at any time by providing suitable
environmental conditions with minimum labour.
9. Greenhouses are 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.
Advantages of greenhouses :
♥ The yield may be 10-12 times higher than that of out door cultivation depending
upon the type of greenhouse, type of crop, environmental control facilities.
♥ Reliability of crop increases under greenhouse cultivation.
♥ Ideally suited for vegetables and flower crops.
♥ Year round production of floricultural crops.
♥ Off-season production of vegetable and fruit crops.
♥ Disease-free and genetically superior transplants can be produced continuously.
♥ Efficient utilisation of chemicals, pesticides to control pest and diseases.
♥ Water requirement of crops very limited and easy to control.
♥ Maintenance of stock plants, cultivating grafted plant-lets and micro propagated
plant-lets.
♥ Hardening of tissue cultured plants
♥ Production of quality produce free of blemishes.
♥ Most useful in monitoring and controlling the instability of various ecological system.
♥ Modern techniques of Hydroponic (Soil less culture), Aeroponics and Nutrient film
techniques are possible only under greenhouse cultivation
10. Status in India
While greenhouses have existed for more than one and a half centuries in various parts of
the world, in India use of greenhouse technology started only during 1980’s and it was
mainly used for research activities. This may be because of our emphasis, so far had been
on achieving self-sufficiency in food grain production. However, in recent years in view of
the globalization of international market and tremendous boost and fillip that is being
given for export of agricultural produce, there has been a spurt in the demand for
greenhouse technology. The National Committee on the use of Plastics in Agriculture
(NCPA-1982) has recommended location specific trials of greenhouse technology for
adoption in various regions of the country.
Greenhouses are being built in the Ladakh region for extending the growing season of
vegetables from 3 to 8 months. In the North-East, greenhouses are being constructed
essentially as rain shelters to permit off-season vegetable production. In the Northern
plains, seedlings of vegetables and flowers are being raised in the greenhouses either for
capturing the early markets or to improve the quality of the seedlings. Propagation of
difficult-to-root tree species has also been found to be very encouraging. Several
commercial floriculture ventures are coming up in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka
states to meet the demands of both domestic and export markets.
11. The commercial utilization of greenhouses started from 1988 onwards and now with the
introduction of Government’s liberalization policies and developmental initiatives, several
corporate houses have entered to set up 100% export oriented units. In just four years,
since implementation of the new policies in 1991, 103 projects with foreign investment of
more than Rs.80 crores have been approved to be set up in the country at an estimated
cost of more than Rs.1000 crores around Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Delhi. Thus the
area under climatically controlled greenhouses of these projects is estimated to be
around 300 ha. Out of which many have already commenced exports and have received
very encouraging results in terms of the acceptance of the quality in major markets
abroad and the price obtained.
