Selecting a covering material for a vegetable greenhouse is a strategic decision that directly determines how much light reaches the crop, how much heat is retained or lost, how long the cover will last, and ultimately how profitable the winter or off-season harvest will be. The main options used today are compared below on the five criteria that growers most often cite.

A well-designed ventilation system is the “hidden motor” of a modern vegetable greenhouse, because it simultaneously solves four critical problems that would otherwise limit yield and quality.

When it comes to choosing the right greenhouse plastic film, it’s essential to consider various factors to optimize growth conditions and ensure longevity. Here are some key points to guide your decision:

These innovative structures have revolutionized the way we grow produce, extending the growing season and improving crop yields while minimizing environmental impact. High tunnels provide a controlled environment that protects plants from harsh weather conditions, pests, and diseases.

1. Superior Light Transmission • Ultra-clear tempered glass (≥91 % light transmission) guarantees uniform PAR distribution across every plant tier, boosting photosynthetic efficiency by up to 18 % compared with standard coverings.

LAGUNA, Philippines—Across Asia-Pacific, operators of commercial greenhouses are ripping out low-margin lettuce and replacing them with crops that fetch restaurant-grade prices. The goal: turn every cubic metre of climate-controlled space into a high-frequency cash register.

In modern agriculture, the use of various plastic films has revolutionized the way crops are grown, improving yield and quality while extending growing seasons. Among these, greenhouse films play a pivotal role in creating a controlled environment that enhances plant growth. While ground films are also a form of plastic film used in agriculture, greenhouse films differ significantly in terms of their functions, properties, and benefits. In this article, we will explore the various aspects of greenhouse films and why they are essential in modern agricultural production.

Tropical fruit can be grown successfully in a greenhouse. By precisely controlling temperature (24–32 °C), humidity (60–80 %) and light intensity, a greenhouse replicates the native equatorial climate and enables bananas, papayas, passion-fruit, guava, dragon-fruit and dwarf mango varieties to set and ripen far from the tropics .

• Greenhouse acreage has expanded by ~1,000 ha in the last five years; vegetable output doubled to 1.1 Mt in 2021 and is projected to reach 1.6 Mt by 2025. • Cucumber: 830 kt (95 % self-sufficiency, surplus for export).

Demand is huge—Russians consume large quantities for fresh salads and, especially, for pickling. Modern winter greenhouse projects in Yakutsk already deliver ~1,692 t of cucumbers per year, and wholesale prices remain high from November to April.

A turnkey, fully-controllable greenhouse engineered for large-scale, high-value crops (flowers, herbs, leafy greens, berries and medicinal plants) in Thailand’s tropical monsoon climate. By combining 100 % automated blackout with soil-less hydroponics, growers can schedule 3–5 harvests per year regardless of external weather or photoperiod.

A turnkey greenhouse is more than four walls of glass or film—it is a fully-integrated, plug-and-play production facility that arrives on site ready to grow crops the same week it is commissioned. In 2025, the smartest turnkey projects combine structural engineering, IoT sensing, AI control, renewable energy and robotics into one cohesive package. The result is a new generation of “smart greenhouses” that deliver predictable yields, ultra-low resource use and data-driven crop optimization from day one.
