Abstract : Greenhouse technology has emerged as a powerful tool for streamlining crop production, offering numerous benefits such as extended growing seasons, protection from adverse weather conditions, and reduced pest and disease pressure. The integration of advanced technologies, including hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics, robotics, artificial intelligence has further enhanced the efficiency and sustainability of greenhouse cultivation. Precision agriculture techniques, such as sensor-based monitoring, automation, and data analytics, have enabled growers to optimize resource use, improve crop performance, and make data-driven decisions. Heat-pump technology, semi-transparent photovoltaic (PV), lighting technology, and control systems are examples of recent energy-saving technologies in greenhouses.
Additionally, energy-saving lighting can be provided by retrofitting greenhouses with Light Emittance Diodes (LEDs), which can cost up to 75% less annually than traditional artificial lights.
