Notes
Greenhouses are gaining popularity in developing countries, since damage to crops from storm, heavy rainfall or sunshine can be limited and evaporation and evapotranspiration controlled. Harmful insects can be kept out and useful ones, for biological pest control, kept in. Greenhouses for tropical regions provides technical guidelines for the design and construction of simple and low-cost structures. The manual introduces meteorology and climates around the world, and related possibilities and problems in vegetable production. It suggests designs for different constructions for different climates, using glass, plastics, fibre, timber and metal. Its range of detailed technical specifications includes drawings, illustrations and diagrams of various construction types.
