Greenhouses are constructions using transparent to translucent materials such as LDPE, FRP, and Polycarbonate sheets that enable solar radiation to flow through while trapping the thermal radiation emitted by the items inside. This produces an ideal growing environment for plants. During the day, the energy received from the sun is transformed to heat within the greenhouse and used to evaporate water during normal plant transpiration. Light, heat, CO2, and moisture, all of which influence plant growth, might be managed in these buildings. The results of the plant cultivated in these greenhouses imply that this could be a viable technology for small and marginal farmers because it produces a considerably greater yield and allows for the production of off-season crops such as vegetables.
