Plant cover is a key agricultural technique that allows for the effective management of the microclimate and protection of crops from adverse external factors. The use of various structures, ranging from small-sized film tunnels and individual cloches to permanent greenhouses and hotbeds, makes it possible to significantly accelerate the ripening of vegetables, increase yield, and provide reliable protection against frosts, pests, and the scorching sun. Knowledge of the specifics of material selection, whether modern agrotextile fabrics or traditional hotbed frames and straw mats, helps the agronomist optimize the growing process in protected soil.
This selection contains expert materials covering the entire spectrum of plant cover technologies. The reader will find here recommendations for DIY construction of simple structures, reviews of modern heating and thermal insulation systems, as well as specialized advice on growing various crops: from early radishes and cucumbers to eggplants. In addition to applied methodologies, the articles cover issues of industrial viticulture and the history of the development of the protected soil sector, which allows for the systematization of knowledge on effective methods for increasing the productivity of land plots and creating optimal conditions for the development of horticultural crops.
Greenhouses and covers For agronomists
