Irrigation is a crucial aspect of growing vegetables in a greenhouse. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration to ensure optimal growth and productivity. Here are the 5 factors of greenhouse vegetable irrigation techniques: Factor 1: Soil Moisture. It is essential to monitor the soil moisture regularly to determine the…
Sprinkler Irrigation Sprinkler irrigation involves the distribution of irrigation water through sprinkler systems or machinery, generating water with a certain pressure that is sprayed into the air through nozzles, forming droplets that moisten the soil surface, providing necessary moisture for crop growth. Sprinkler irrigation can increase yields by 15%-25% compared to surface irrigation, with water…
Yield Index: First year after planting: Fruit-bearing begins. Second year: Achieve a yield of 500-800 kg per 666.7 square meters (mu). Peak fruiting period: Yield reaches 2500 kg. I. Variety Selection: Considerations: Quality, disease resistance, storage tolerance, and adaptability to local climate and geography. Criteria: Opt for established varieties, promising new cultivars, and a balanced…
I. Environmental Requirements for Green Onion Cultivation: 1. Temperature: Green onions are cold-tolerant crops, with seeds capable of germinating at temperatures between 2°C and 5°C. The optimum temperature for growth is between 15°C and 25°C, while temperatures exceeding 30°C slow down growth. Exposure to temperatures of 0°C to 3°C for 7 days or 3°C to…
Introduction: Traditional irrigation methods for grape production, such as manual watering and furrow irrigation, are characterized by low water use efficiency, labor-intensive operations, poor irrigation quality, and limited support for high-quality, high-yield crops. With increasing water scarcity due to regional, seasonal, and resource-related factors, the need to adopt advanced, efficient water-saving irrigation technologies in grape…
Introduction: The timing of irrigation for grapes is crucial for ensuring optimal growth and fruit development. Adequate water supply during specific periods is essential for promoting growth and fruit set, while controlled water supply during later stages is necessary to induce dormancy and prepare the grapevine for winter. This article outlines the key irrigation periods…
Greenhouse and tunnel cultivation with drip irrigation technology is considered an essential pathway for the modernization of agricultural production, offering significant advantages. However, there are several challenges currently facing the development of drip irrigation in greenhouse cultivation, including issues related to planning and design, equipment quality, and management practices. Addressing these challenges is crucial for…
1. Mulching Mulching is a resource-rich and cost-effective water-saving technique, known for its soil improvement, water conservation, and yield-increasing effects. By removing weeds in the orange orchard and utilizing the resources of terrace wall weeds, they are laid inside the tree panes, covered with a thin layer of soil on top, effectively reducing soil evaporation….
Drip irrigation is an efficient water-saving technique that utilizes ground irrigation equipment to evenly seep clean water drop by drop into the roots of crops. Applying drip irrigation technology in greenhouse cultivation can improve the growth environment of crops and achieve the goal of cost-saving and efficiency enhancement. Application Effects Supplying water to crops in…
Vegetables are crops with high water demand, and compared to other crops, vegetables are particularly sensitive to water availability. The frequency and timing of irrigation during vegetable growth significantly impact yield. Advanced technologies such as automated irrigation are utilized in protected environments like greenhouses for increased productivity, water conservation, and improved vegetable quality. In comparison…
