Temperature control through aeration is important to keep grain cool and dry in order to prevent insect growth and mycotoxin production.
Plant nursery
The document provides information on plant nurseries, including definitions, types, and basic facilities. It defines a nursery as an area where saplings are raised until ready for transplanting. There are several types of nurseries classified by duration (temporary vs permanent), plants produced (ornamental, vegetable, forest), and structures used (open field, hi-tech). Basic nursery facilities include proper layout, components like irrigation and storage, and plant propagation structures like greenhouses, shade nets, and polytunnels. Standards are set by BIS to ensure quality of nursery plants. Nursery beds can be prepared as sunken, level, or raised beds, with precautions taken to provide suitable growing conditions.
Nursery raising under protected structures
This document discusses raising nurseries of warm season vegetable crops under protected structures. It describes the advantages of protected structures for nurseries, including enabling year-round production and protection from adverse weather. It outlines different types of protected structures and nursery beds. The document discusses components of protected structures, best practices for sowing, nutrient and pest management, and constraints. Modern nursery facilities include automated irrigation, fertigation, temperature and humidity control systems. Seed priming and treatments can improve germination rates.
green house technology introduction and concepts
The document discusses the history and evolution of greenhouse technology. It notes that greenhouses were first developed to protect crops from unfavorable environmental conditions, starting with the Romans using transparent stone and later Europeans using glass and mats. Modern greenhouses evolved in the 20th century with the introduction of polyethylene and now use computer controlled environments for year-round crop production. The key advantages are producing higher yields and quality crops throughout the year, while disadvantages include high costs and need for pest control.

Solar food drying
This document describes solar food drying methods and provides details on a study comparing solar-assisted spouted bed drying to open-air drying of peas. Key points include:
1) Solar-assisted spouted bed drying uses hot air from a solar collector to dry peas inside a column, allowing for continuous particle-air contact and faster drying rates compared to open-air drying.
2) An experiment was conducted to evaluate the drying rates, quality parameters, shrinkage and rehydration of peas dried using the solar spouted bed dryer versus open-air drying.
3) Peas were dried in the solar spouted bed dryer and open-air using a mesh cage, and

Specifically, it outlines 7 types of nurseries classified by the type of plants grown including fruit, vegetable, ornamental, medicinal, and forest plant nurseries. It also describes 4 types of nurseries based on the target customers including retail, wholesale, private, and mail order nurseries. Further, it details the basic infrastructure needed like worksheds, polyhouses, fences, and irrigation systems. Proper land preparation, growing media, and care of the propagated plants are also highlighted.
Forcing Techniques For Raising Summer Vegetables .pptx
Forcing techniques involve growing vegetables in artificial structures like greenhouses to control the environment and grow crops out of their normal season. This allows vegetables to be grown when it is too hot, cold, or dry outside. Forcing techniques require additional costs, structures, technical knowledge, and specialized varieties of crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers that are suitable for these conditions. Common forcing methods include the use of hotbeds, low tunnels, and different types of greenhouses that vary in their level of climate control. Forcing techniques can extend the growing season and allow year-round production of vegetables but also present challenges like higher production costs and managing pests and diseases in the controlled environment.

- 10. GREENHOUSE
- 15. MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN THE NURSERY Soil Testing • Soils in the greenhouse should be analyzed for their pH and salinity. Amendments may be applied to ensure that the soil is fit for planting. Irrigation • Greenhouses usually require specialized irrigation systems such as the drip, overhead, etc. • Rainwater Collection • Since greenhouses are built with roofs, rainwater does not reach the crops inside. You can install fixtures around the roofs or put up drums outside the greenhouse to collect rainwater.
- 16. MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN THE NURSERY Pest Management • Weeds, insects, and animals destroy or take nutrition from crops. • Use insect-proof materials. • Cut the foliage around the greenhouse to destroy pest habitats. • Regularly inspect your greenhouse for possible holes created by larger pests. • Remove weeds around your crops. • Use only organic concoctions as pesticides. Waste Management • Practice the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Collect organic wastes and use them for compost.
- 17. MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN THE NURSERY Disease Control • Control the spread of plant diseases by doing the following: • Choose seeds of resistant varieties. • Practice rouging or removing inferior or infected plants. • Improve soil fertility to decrease susceptibility of the plants. • Apply organic extracts from plants, animals, and beneficial micro- organisms. Energy Conservation • Conserve any form of energy as much as you can.
