Polycarbonate Greenhouse for Strawberry Substrate Culture Customized

The Venlo-type PC board greenhouse is a modular, gable-roofed structure characterized by its use of polycarbonate (PC) panels as the primary covering material.

• Light Performance: PC boards offer excellent light transmittance (80-90%) while diffusing sunlight evenly. This diffused light reduces the risk of leaf scorching, ensuring uniform growth across all crops, which is particularly beneficial for seedlings and leafy greens.
• Insulation & Energy Efficiency: Multi-layer PC panels provide superior thermal insulation compared to glass, minimizing heat loss in cold weather and reducing the need for excessive heating. This lowers energy consumption and operational costs.
• Durability & Safety: PC boards are shatter-resistant, lightweight, and highly resistant to impacts (e.g., hail, wind) and UV radiation, extending the greenhouse's lifespan. Their lightweight nature also reduces structural stress, making the design easier to expand or modify.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Generally more affordable than glass in both material and installation costs, making it a practical choice for small to medium-scale operations or regions with harsh weather conditions.

• Improved Fruit Quality: Substrates (e.g., coconut coir, peat) provide optimal drainage and aeration, reducing fruit rot. This leads to plumper, sweeter strawberries with fewer blemishes.
• Pest and Disease Control: Being soil-free minimizes exposure to soil-borne pests and fungi, lowering pesticide use and keeping berries cleaner.
• Efficient Resource Use: Precisely controlled water and nutrient delivery cuts water waste by up to 50% compared to soil, while nutrients are absorbed more effectively, boosting growth.
• Easy Management: Substrates simplify monitoring of root health and reduce weeding. They also allow for elevated planting, making harvesting easier and protecting fruit from ground contact.
• Consistent Yields: Uniform substrate conditions ensure even growth, resulting in steady, reliable harvests across seasons.
