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.
Greenhouses and covers For agronomists

Greenhouses and covers For agronomists
Using small-sized plastic covers allows for accelerating vegetable ripening and significantly increasing yield. The article examines the features of constructing frameless and arch structures for the protection of crops and seedlings
Greenhouses and covers For gardeners
The choice between the transplant method and direct sowing in a greenhouse determines the growth rate of cucumbers. The article examines methods for minimizing root system stress during transplanting and the rules for preparing warm beds for seed
Greenhouses and covers For gardeners
High-quality seed preparation and adherence to sowing depth are the keys to growing strong pepper seedlings. This article covers methods of seed stimulation, optimal conditions for germination, and initial steps in seedling care.
Greenhouses and covers For gardeners
Instead of chemical soil sterilization in a greenhouse, it is better to use biological self-purification methods. A complex approach includes proper organic matter application, deep tillage, and competent crop rotation.
Plant protection For agronomists
The article analyzes the phytosanitary situation in maize crops in Belarus and the degree of plant damage by the European corn borer. The authors examine the factors contributing to the increased harmfulness of the phytophage and its impact on the quality and quantity of the harvest.
Viticulture For agronomists
The temperature regime of air and soil is a key factor in vine development and yield. The article reveals the importance of the sum of active temperatures and threshold values for stable grapevine fruiting
Floriculture For students
Cutting is a reliable method for obtaining high-quality nursery plants while preserving all the cultivar characteristics of the parent plant. The success of the process directly depends on the correct selection of the cutting type, the age of the mother plant, and adherence to the cutting technology.
