It is characterized by walls and roofs made from transparent materials. •Similar to a nursery, it reduces mortality from harsh weather conditions and protects plants from pests. The difference, however, is that a nursery protects seeds and seedlings before transplanting; a greenhouse protects high-value

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 INTHE 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 INTHE 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.
