Inside a greenhouse, plants are not exposed to physical wear and tear caused by environmental elements. Issues such as rain, strong winds, hail and high solar radiation often affect the quality of the products. Therefore, the quality of the products obtained inside greenhouses is higher.
They are manufactured in various sizes, giving small farmers and families the possibility of having them instead of open field crops. They usually have a translucent outer cover made of glass or plastic, which allows the control of temperature, humidity and other environmental factors. The greenhouse takes advantage of the effect produced by solar radiation that, when passing through glass or translucent plastic, heats the environment and the objects inside; these, in turn, emit infrared radiation, with a wavelength greater than that of the sun, which produces the heating of the environment.
