ISHS Acta Horticulturae 76: Symposium on More Profitable Use of Energy in Protected Cultivation

DEVELOPMENTS FOR MAKING OPTIMAL USE OF THE GREENHOUSE AREA

Author:   G.H. Germing
Abstract:
The rapid increase of the costs of energy as well as the constant rise of labour costs have emphasized the need of making optimal use of the greenhouse area.

Various types of movable benches used for the production of pot-plants are described, they allow for a 30 % higher efficiency of the greenhouse area.

Finally the perspectives of soil-less cultures, gantry-systems and multi layer-cropping are discussed.
