    A greenhouse is a structure made of transparent material like glass or polyethylene that controls the climatic conditions inside to allow plant growth. Greenhouses can range in size from small sheds to large industrial buildings. They trap heat from sunlight and maintain a warmer internal temperature than the outside. More advanced greenhouses have equipment to precisely control temperature, lighting, and other growth conditions. Polyhouses use polyethylene sheeting as their transparent material, making them more affordable than traditional glass greenhouses. Common crops grown in polyhouses include fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Site selection considers factors like drainage, pollution levels, and accessibility. Greenhouse types vary based on their structure, materials, environmental controls, and other design aspects.

    A greenhouse or polyhouse can be defined as a house or a structure made of transparent material like

    glass or polyethylene wherein plants are grown under well-controlled climatic conditions. The size of
    structure varies from small sheds to industry-sized buildings according to the purpose. Primarily, a
    greenhouse is a glass house whose interiors grow warmer when exposed to sunlight as the house blocks
    the greenhouse gas to exit. Therefore, while it may be cold outside the temperature is survival friendly and
    warm for the plants growing inside. Some greenhouses using high-end technology have installed
    equipment like heating and cooling system, lighting, screening installations and even computerized facilities
    to provide optimal growth conditions for the plants. This is done especially to reduce the risks of crop loss
    in greenhouse cultivation.

    Difference Between Greenhouse and Polyhouse

    Greenhouse is made of some kind of transparent material to create a microclimate inside the house.
    Different materials like glass, wood, polyethylene etc. are used as greenhouse cover to create the
    microclimate.

    Polyhouse is one type of green house where polyethylene is used as the cover. In India, polyhouse farming
    is the most popular greenhouse technology for it’s low cost of construction. Lath house is another
    greenhouse technology where wood is used as the cover.

    Poly house is economical compared to glass house or greenhouse but the later is more durable than
    polyhouse.

    Crops Suitable for Polyhouse Farming

     Fruits: Papaya, Strawberry etc.
     Vegetables: Bitter Gourd, Cabbage, Capsicum, Coloured Capsicum, Cauliflower, Chili, Coriander,
    Okra, Onion, Radish, Spinach, Tomato etc.
     Flowers: Carnation, Chrysanthemum, Gerbera, Gladiolus, Marigold, Orchid, Rose etc.

    Site Selection for Greenhouse Construction

    In its early years, the aim of a greenhouse was to grow species that require heat in colder regions. It was
    easier to control climatic factors like temperature and moisture level inside a greenhouse and protect the
    plants from the harsh external cold winds. In India, the following points are to be considered for selecting
    the place to set up a poly greenhouse:

    Water Logging

    The site must be a well-drained area and not a place that has water logging issues. Water logging can
    cause potential harm to the crops especially in areas with heavy rainfall and floods.

    Pollution

    The greenhouse must not be built near industrial units. This is to protect the crops from possible pollution
    effects.

    Zugänglichkeit

    Although it should not be placed very near the roads, yet, they must be easily accessible through various
    modes of transport.
    Types of Greenhouse

    Greenhouses being structures for facilitating a controlled cultivation system in greenhouse farming, the
    structure must allow light penetration and maximum coverage. Hence they are semi-circular shaped
    structures made of transparent materials like glass, polyethylene and other transparent materials. Apart
    from controlling temperature other objectives of greenhouse farming are maintaining the right carbon
    dioxide levels, humidity, water, controlling pests and providing plant nutrients. Greenhouse classification is
    based on different parameters like cost, suitability, structure type, glazing type, number of spans and
    environmental control.
