Polyethylene film and other cover materials remain essential elements in the arrangement of protected ground. The correct choice of covering directly influences the microclimate inside the structure, the durability of frame constructions, and the effectiveness of pest and disease control. For the agronomist and the home gardener, understanding the properties of these materials is a key condition for protecting plants from adverse weather factors, the rational use of plot area, and the optimization of growing conditions for vegetable and fruit crops.
This collection gathers materials covering a wide range of protected ground technologies. You will learn about the design features of frame shelters and wall-mounted greenhouses, as well as the comparative characteristics of films, agrotextiles, and polycarbonate. Special attention is paid to the integration of modern materials with advanced cultivation methods, such as hydroponics and the use of artificial substrates. Furthermore, the articles contain practical recommendations on the technical maintenance of greenhouse structures and the preparation of planting material for operation in closed ground conditions.
