10 Questions
What is the main advantage of automatic greenhouses?
Avoiding human error
What is the optimal temperature range for sweet pepper production in a greenhouse during daytime?
21-27°C (68-77°F)
What is a challenge of automatic greenhouses according to the text?
High initial cost
Which factor can lead to wilting and blossom end rot if below the critical threshold?
60-70% relative humidity (RH)
What does a greenhouse climate digital control system consist of according to the text?
Sensors to measure the factors to be regulated
Why is soil sterilization important in greenhouse agriculture?
To eliminate disease-causing organisms and control weed seeds, but it may lead to loss of beneficial microorganisms.
What is the primary concern associated with fumigation as a method of soil sterilization in greenhouses?
Highly effective in killing pathogens but may raise concerns about human health and environmental impact.
Why might some cultivars grown in greenhouses not require pollination?
Because they are either self-pollinating or parthenocarpic, meaning they can produce viable seeds without external pollination agents.
What is the main advantage of using solarization as a method of soil sterilization in greenhouses?
It raises temperatures to kill pathogens by trapping solar heat, but requires specific weather conditions and long exposure times.
What is the importance of self-pollination in greenhouse agriculture?
It allows plants to produce viable seeds without the need for external pollination agents like wind, insects, or animals.
Explore the technology of automatic greenhouses in desert agriculture, designed to create the optimal environment for plant growth and automate tasks such as regulating temperature, humidity, CO2, soil moisture and light.
