A NEW GREENHOUSE STRUCTURE ADAPTED TO MEDITERRANEAN GROWING CONDITIONS

Authors:   R. BRUN, J. LAGIER
Abstract:
A special design of a plastic greenhouse has been developped for the mediterranean climate. Built on a tunnel shelter, it unables the roof of it to open quickly and to close rapidly according to controling orders. A two years comparative test with conventionnal greenhouses has been conducted : it shows a significant potential of this mediterranean house to control excess of heat in late spring and summer and lack of light in winter.
