Retractable roof greenhouses are used to help protect ornamental
crops from excessive cold, wind, rain and heat while ensuring that
crops are grown tough to make the transition to the retailer and
final consumer. Compared to growing crops only outside, in hoop
houses or shadehouses, exposing ornamentals to both greenhouse and
outdoor conditions allow growers to:
 |
 |
Reduce the growing times |
 |
prevent root damage due to excessive root temperatures in
the summer and cold temperatures in the winter. |
 |
time flowering |
 |
regulate internode length |
 |
ensure crops have bright colors |
 |
reduce labor, water and fertilizer usage |
