Construction Steps and Techniques of Greenhouse

In modern agriculture, the application of greenhouses is becoming more and more widespread. It can not only help farmers extend the planting season and increase the yield of crops, but also effectively resist the impact of severe weather on crops. However, to successfully build an efficient greenhouse requires scientific planning and implementation. This article will introduce in detail the construction steps and techniques of the greenhouse to help you achieve efficient agriculture.

I. Site Selection and Design

1. Site selection

Geographical location: Choose a plot with sufficient sunlight and good drainage. The terrain should have a slight slope to facilitate drainage.

Soil conditions: The soil should be fertile and have a moderate pH value, preferably neutral or slightly acidic soil.

2. Design

Structural type: Choose an appropriate structural type according to the planting needs, such as arched sheds, multi-span sheds, etc.

Dimension planning: Determine the length, width and height of the greenhouse. Generally speaking, the height should be about 3-4 meters for convenient operation and management.

Material selection: Choose durable materials such as steel frames and aluminum alloys, and the covering materials can be polyethylene film or glass.

II. Infrastructure Construction

1. Foundation preparation

Land preparation: Clear the weeds and stones on the ground and level it.

Foundation piling: Pile at the periphery and middle of the greenhouse according to the designed spacing to ensure the stability of the greenhouse structure.

2. Frame construction

Build the framework: Assemble the framework structure of the greenhouse according to the design drawings and ensure a firm connection.

Fix the framework: Fix the framework by bolts or welding to ensure overall stability.

3. Installation of covering materials

Installation of the covering film: Install the covering film in a windless weather to ensure tight coverage and no air leakage.

Sealing treatment: Seal the joints to prevent heat loss.

III. Internal Facility Configuration

1. Temperature control system

Ventilation equipment: Install ventilation windows on the top and sides, and configure electric fans if necessary.

Heating equipment: Heating equipment can be configured in cold seasons, such as heaters or hot water pipe systems.

2. Irrigation system

Drip irrigation system: Lay drip irrigation pipes in the greenhouse to ensure uniform supply of water.

Sprinkler irrigation system: Applicable to crops with large water demand on the leaf surface.

3. Lighting system

Supplemental light: Provide artificial light sources when there is insufficient light to promote the growth of crops.

IV. Planting and Management

1. Crop selection

Choose the planted crops according to market demand and seasonal characteristics, such as vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, etc.

2. Soil improvement

Apply organic fertilizers to improve soil fertility and ensure the healthy growth of crops.

3. Daily management

Temperature monitoring: Regularly check the temperature in the greenhouse and timely adjust the ventilation and heating equipment.

Pest and disease control: Adopt green prevention and control techniques to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and protect the ecological environment.

V. Techniques and Precautions

1. Scientific planning

Conduct scientific planning according to actual needs to avoid resource waste caused by blind construction.

2. Reasonable investment

Choose an appropriate construction plan according to the financial situation to avoid overspending.

3. Regular maintenance

Regularly check the greenhouse structure and equipment and repair and replace them in time to extend the service life.

4. Professional training

Participate in professional training to master greenhouse planting techniques and improve the management level.

Through scientific construction steps and reasonable management techniques, greenhouses can greatly improve the efficiency of agricultural production and contribute to the development of modern agriculture.
