What do you know about Greenhouse

A greenhouse is a structure designed for creating a carefully regulated growing environment in which plant growth can be continued under controlled conditions at any time, irrespective of the weather outside. They usually have walls and roof coverings made from transparent material, most commonly glass or plastic, allowing the transmission of sunlight while providing protection of the plants from severe weather.

Talk about the types of Greenhouse

The types of greenhouses are many; all feature different kinds of structures, serving diverse purposes. The lean-to greenhouse is built onto an existing building for a space-saving solution, while the gothic arch greenhouse allows maximum light into the inside and part of the rain and snow load is distributed from the peak of the roof. The A-frame greenhouse is triangular in a shape which is resistant and easy to construct. Ridge and furrow greenhouses are multiple ganged spans ideal for large-scale commercial production. The energy-efficient rounded design called the dome greenhouse optimizes sunlight usage and minimizes heat loss. A tunnel greenhouse, or "hoop house," is a low-cost arched structure simple to build and well suited for smaller-scale growers. Finally, solar greenhouses that maximize natural sunlight and save energy are especially useful in colder climates.

Discuss on the benefits of a Greenhouse in Agriculture

Greenhouses provide many benefits to farmers, especially those that would want to crop all year round or wish to grow in challenging climates. One of the major benefits of a greenhouse is therefore an extended growing season. Greenhouses can allow plants to escape extreme weather-for example, frost in winter and heat in summer-so that crops may be grown for longer periods of time, thus giving rise to greater yield.
