The temperature regime is a determining factor for plant productivity and their metabolic rate. For an agronomist and a home gardener, heat control is a basic tool for managing crop development, on which not only the survival of transplants depends, but also the quality of the future harvest. Disrupting optimal thermal conditions inevitably leads to a decrease in plant immunity, slowed growth, and a loss of economic efficiency in agricultural production.
This collection brings together materials dedicated to managing the microclimate in protected soil and the biological characteristics of various crops. The articles present classifications of vegetable and ornamental flowering plants based on their heat requirements, as well as recommendations for organizing efficient heating systems in greenhouses. You will find expert guides on growing tomatoes, cucumbers, and cabbage that take into account temperature requirements during the stages of seedling formation and the growing season. Special attention is paid to technologies that allow for the regulation of environmental conditions to increase yield in professional and amateur plant cultivation.
