What Criteria is used when Choosing Wooden Greenhouses?

You may be wondering why not just use any wooden greenhouse design for cultivation. While all designs enhance optimal temperature, they are designed for different regions, crops and growing capacity.

For hot areas, you need wooden greenhouses with big ventilation and vented designs could be best.

On the other hand, cold regions would require a smaller vent and side roll up features.

Tall growing crops that require crop support will require high gable height while short crops will do fine with short gable height of 3 m.

The number of crops you intend to grow or in other words, the size of land set aside should guide you to select the size of greenhouse to build.

Practices for High Yield in a Greenhouse

• Proper maintenance of the greenhouse structure is important to ensure consistent growing conditions for growth.
• Ensure precise and sufficient irrigation by using the appropriate irrigation schedule provided by your agronomist.
• Propagate or buy hybrid seedlings to ensure quality production.
• Use certified seedlings and fertilizer.
• Mulching should be done to prevent fungal infection in capsicum and strawberries.
• Always follow proper spacing of beds and planting lines. Driplines should be 2 per bed as opposed to 2-4 in open field farming.
• Keep track of the calendar to ensure proper irrigation control, transplanting and fertigation.
• Pruning should also be done to get rid of wilting leaves and improve fruiting in capsicum and tomato plants.
