ANALYSIS OF MICROCLIMATE PARAMETERS FOR GREENHOUSE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The article reviews the greenhouse as an object of research. The parameters of greenhouse management are analyzed to improve the efficiency of growing crops in a controlled environment.

The parameters of the greenhouse microclimate are described, and the optimal conditions for growing and managing the microclimate are determined.

Several models of greenhouses by generations are considered. Attention is paid to the analysis of key microclimate parameters, such as temperature, humidity, water vapor pressure, dew point, CO₂ level and illumination (PAR), which affect the agrocycles and productivity of crops, in particular remontant strawberries. The typical dynamics of changes in these parameters during the day, as well as their relationship with the use of automated devices (heaters, lighting, ventilation, irrigation, fertilizers, etc.) are considered.

The main types of greenhouses by generation are identified, depending on the level of technological equipment and automation. The paper analyzes the challenges that accompany the management of greenhouse facilities: high energy costs, lack of qualified personnel, difficulties in maintaining a stable microclimate, moisture condensation, and insufficient understanding of the agrotechnical needs of crops by farmers.

The results of the review indicate a significant potential for further development of greenhouse technologies aimed at increasing yields, efficient use of resources and minimizing environmental impact, and optimization for consistent quality products.

The conducted research review confirms the relevance of developing an integrated agro-cycle management system in greenhouses. Taking into account the challenges and opportunities outlined in the article will allow for a more adaptive and sustainable approach to growing crops in a controlled environment.

Promising areas of research, including the improvement of automated control systems, have been identified.
