Choosing and Constructing a Greenhouse Project:
Parameters and Considerations
- Type of crops + growth and quality requirements.
- Market destination and demands (quality, quantity, means and time of supply).
- Examination of Area: Soil and ground analysis (physical conditions and chemical composition), detailed climate data including maximum, minimum and average temperatures (daytime and night-time), relative humidity at 10:00 am and at 5:00 pm, wind velocity and direction, radiation levels (hours and quantities), rainfall (annual quantities and maximum mm/h), snowfall (quantities + loads), hail and instances of unusual natural phenomena.
- Definition of Area: Topographical examination and appropriate planning including drainage, ground sloping and directions of planting as per radiation angles.
- Choice of greenhouse model and appropriate accessories, in accordance with individual demands + a packing house, central service center, access routes and computerized control systems.
- Economic Review: Survey of economic advantages + sources of finance.
