Film greenhouses and small-sized covers remain among the most effective tools in the arsenal of agronomists and gardeners for protected soil cultivation. Using film structures allows for significantly extending the growing season, accelerating the ripening of vegetable crops, and ensuring an optimal microclimate for producing high-quality transplants, tomatoes, peppers, and even melons. Proper design of such structures, competent organization of ventilation, and maintaining the temperature regime are the foundation upon which the productivity of greenhouse plant cultivation is built.
This collection combines practical materials on key aspects of working with film covers. Readers will find here recommendations on the construction and maintenance of structures, methods for growing various crops — from grapes to celery — and advice on plant training and their nutrition systems. In addition, the articles cover issues of phytosanitary control, including measures to combat common diseases, such as cucumber ascochytosis. The materials will help to systematize knowledge and implement proven technological techniques to increase the yield on the plot.
