Greenhouses for Tomato growing:
Parral and backbone structures greenhouses were traditionally used for their production, but the introduction of new farming techniques, such as trellising at high altitudes and hydroponic systems make the building of Polytunnel Greenhouses necessary for tomato growing.
Technology associated
Production System:
Planted on substrates, typically in Rockwool, perlite, or coconut fiber bags, coir sanding systems, or directly on the ground. The crop is staking, and it can reach above 2.5 m heights.
Carbon fertilization systems:
They are common in northern European countries, although this technology is increasingly used in countries of southern Europe for increasing agricultural production. These systems require tight greenhouses as polytunnel greenhouses.
Cooling systems:
thermal and shade, forced ventilation, cooling or fog system screens are used.
Heating systems:
Closed pipes systems with hot water or hot air systems.
Irrigation Systems:
Drip irrigation systems are often used depending on the production system.
