Since Greenhouse farming became a highly effective and profitable venture, most farmers have adopted it. With Valuable Practices for greenhouse farming, full potential can realized from the venture.
Water applications, fertilizer, pesticides, and weed control practices need to be effective to allow sustainability.
Aqua Hub Kenya enhances valuable practices for greenhouses through sustainable farming solutions in Kenya.
Temperature Control
For better temperature control in a greenhouse environment, you need quality effective materials. Effective Temperature Control Greenhouse Materials in Kenya include polythene covers, shade nets, and insect nets.
How Greenhouses Regulate Temperature
Greenhouse polythene covers provide the right temperature for crops to grow. Its transparency, light transmission, and insulation properties make it possible for a hot environment. On the other hand, shade nets enhance the cooling of the greenhouses in the daytime. Due to mesh surface, air can enter and exit thus temperature reduction.
Fertigation| Fertilizer Injection
Applying fertilizer is crucial for maximum yield in crop production. Modern methods of fertilizer application to greenhouse plants are available. Using fertilizer injectors to supply soluble fertilizers to crops is the most effective method. Uniform supply as well as minimal loss of fertilizer makes it the best method.
How to Use Fertilizer Injectors
Connecting the fertilizer kits to an irrigation system makes fertilizer supply easy and efficient. The kit sucks soluble fertilizers from a tank and directs it to an irrigation pipe. It mixes with water and then goes to the drip lines where distribution to crops is done.
Plastic Mulch Films for Weed Control
Weed control is easier with organic practices such as mulching and crop rotation. Mulching is an effective method as it reduces weed growth and prevents water loss. Mulching can be done through organic mulches or artificial plastic mulching films.
How to use Artificial Plastic Mulching Films
Mulching films are laid on the crop field openings made for plants to access sunlight. You can use soil to hold the film in between the plant lines. Plastic mulching films are durable and effective materials that prevent weed growth in the soil.
Drip Irrigation
Irrigation of greenhouse crops requires sustainable and effective methods. The reason is to allow for high returns from the high-value crops grown in greenhouses. Drip irrigation is the preferable irrigation system to use for greenhouse watering and fertilizer supply.
Misters for Cooling Greenhouse Environment
Cooling and temperature regulation can also be achieved using misters and foggers. The use of misting kits provides high-pressure cold sprays that help reduce greenhouse heat.
