Film cover

Film covers are an effective tool for intensive vegetable growing, allowing for the minimization of risks when working in unstable climate conditions. The use of frameless structures, small tunnels, and greenhouses gives the agronomist the opportunity to control the microclimate, accelerate crop maturation, and extend the growing season. For the home gardener and professional alike, creating protected soil becomes a way of rational resource management, enabling the production of stable yields of vegetables and greens, as well as the successful forcing of bulbous plants even without the use of complex technical heating systems.

This compilation gathers materials covering the entire cycle of working with film structures: from the design and installation of structures to the nuances of cultivation techniques for specific crops. Readers will find practical recommendations on making portable, collapsible covers and "warm pits," as well as detailed guides on growing cucumbers, tomatoes, melons, peppers, and leafy greens. The articles contain information on substrate preparation methods, rules for irrigation, ventilation, and the specifics of growing high-quality transplants, which will allow you to optimize technological processes and increase the productivity of your plot or farm.
