Retractable roof greenhouses can help improve the production of bedding
plants since they can be used to help produce plants that can easily
make the transition from the plug or propagation house… to the
production greenhouse…to the transport truck…to the retail
display bench…and finally to the customers garden.
By retracting the roof whenever outside conditions are superior to
those inside the greenhouse, plants will be exposed to the stresses
of the outdoor environment, which will help them develop:
- Leaves with a thick cuticle
- A strong root system
- The appropriate balance between root to shoot
- Shorter internodes
- Bright coloured flowers
- Flowers with longer bloom times
- An overall natural appearance
This can help improve the profitability of growing bedding plants
by:
INCREASING QUANITITY AND QUALITY OF PLANTS PRODUCED
- Improve crop timing
- Increase crop uniformity
- Reduce crops being dumped as a result of being overgrown. Some growers using traditional houses routinely throw out 10% of their spring crop due to the plants being overgrown and virtually eliminated the loss in a retractable roof.
- Reduced losses due to foliar diseases like botrytis
INCREASING REVENUES
- reducing the need to discount prices resulting from crops being of poor quality
- reducing credits that need to be issued when growers guarantee sales to large chain stores
