Greenhouse production has seen a surge in growth over the years, with climate change and the ever-growing demand for produce. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers have been regular staples for some time now, with eggplant added only several years ago. If current trends hold steady, mushrooms and strawberries could soon be major players in this industry like lettuce and greens, for example.

There are several greenhouse pests that can be detrimental to your crops if not controlled through a comprehensive pest management program. Pest control in greenhouses is essential to maintaining the health and strength of your plants.

Reducing pest damage is and should always be a top priority for commercial growers or retail garden center operations.

With the arrival of winter, temperatures are a common concern for commercial greenhouse production since it is a threat of frost damage, pests, and humidity.

During the winter months in the United States, especially in December, effective greenhouse temperature control becomes crucial for maintaining optimal conditions for cultivating healthy crops inside greenhouse structures. The challenge lies in ensuring that the temperature within the greenhouse remains conducive to plant growth despite the colder external environment.

Professional greenhouses are an excellent resource for those interested in entering the commercial farming industry. However, only some understand how they work precisely.

Learning how to build a greenhouse before embarking on a commercial project can be a rewarding experience for you and your company.

Greenhouses are a great way to extend your growing season and protect delicate plants from the elements.
