Production conditions for greenhouse vegetable production on small scale family farms

Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the microclimatic parameters in the different tunnel greenhouse constructions in order to see if the choice of the greenhouse construction can improve the production conditions inside the greenhouse. A new type of round shape greenhouse construction is introduced that should lead to more energy efficient vegetable production. Production conditions were tracked in the open field and in the greenhouses. Results show that temperature pattern and its values during the night and day depend on the greenhouse construction, plant specie and production season.

Cilj ovog rada je da prikaže rezultate istraživanja mikroklimatskih parametara u objektima zaštićenog prostora na malim, porodičnim gazdinstvima i da ukaže na mogućnosti unapređenja proizvodnje povrća na malom posedu. Cilj istraživanja je bio pokazati da proizvodni uslovi u objektima zaštićenog prostora zavise od tipa konstrukcije objekta i od gajene biljne vrste. Obzirom na nisku energetsu efikasnost objekata tunel tipa, posebno u zimskoj proizvodnje, prikazan je predlog nove konstrukcije objekta zaštićenog prostora, namenjen isključivo porodičnim gazdinstvima.
