Abstract :
Centuries ago the Romans have created the
first greenhouses to develop the “modern lifestyle” and
where irrespective of season we can have fresh
vegetables. Seeking a solution to the unavailability of
fresh vegetables in every season, they started to grow
plants indoors and thus invented the first greenhouses.
The last century has seen many technological advances
that have been used to construct more efficient and
cheaper greenhouses, which in turn has made them
available to the ordinary gardeners. Because of the
invention of large sheets of polyethylene, the greenhouse
construction has been revolutionized and today the
percentage of greenhouses built using poly sheet are
almost more than 90%. During the same time Aluminum
and plastic hoops were invented made up of galvanized
steel tubing, aluminum extrusions were an easy and
cheapest way to construct a greenhouse.
Nowadays greenhouses are becoming automated,
because of which people can save time on activities like
watering. Automated greenhouses are equipped with
automatic watering system including providing water and
fertilizers to the plants whenever needed, monitoring of
temperature and humidity and controlling with the help
of automatic vents that opens and closes based on the
temperature, automatic fans and heaters. In order to
make greenhouses more efficient and cheaper many new
materials are also used like fiberglass, polycarbonate and
acrylic panels. Though there has been tremendous change
in greenhouse construction, Only the passion for
gardening has not Changed through centuries. Because of
many technology advances now gardeners or farmers can
spend their time taking care of the plants instead of
spending more efforts on watering or maintaining the
required environment in greenhouses.
