The Role of Greenhouses in Pest and Disease Control

According to data, the area of greenhouses in China has been decreasing year by year, from 2.168 million hectares in 2015 to 1.864 million hectares in 2021. Among them, plastic film greenhouses account for 61.52% of the market share, glass greenhouses 23.2%, and polycarbonate greenhouses 2%.

In terms of pests and diseases, agricultural pest and disease data sets show that common pests and diseases include apple leaf diseases, rice leaf diseases, and wheat diseases. Through scientific management and control measures in greenhouses, the occurrence of pests and diseases can be effectively reduced, thereby improving crop yield and quality.

Greenhouses play an important role in modern agriculture, especially in pest and disease control. By controlling environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light, greenhouses can effectively reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, thereby enhancing crop yield and quality.

Choosing the Right Type of Greenhouse

When selecting a type of greenhouse, growers should consider their own needs, local climate conditions, and pest and disease control requirements. Common greenhouse covering materials include plastic film, polycarbonate, and glass, each with its unique advantages and disadvantages.

Plastic Film Greenhouses

Advantages: Low cost, lightweight, easy to install, suitable for large-scale planting.

Disadvantages: Less durable, requires regular replacement, average insulation performance.

Suitable Scenarios: Ideal for short-term planting and economic crops, performs well in warm climates.

 

Polycarbonate Greenhouses

Advantages: Good light transmission, excellent insulation performance, strong weather resistance, long service life.

Disadvantages: High cost, large initial investment.

Suitable Scenarios: Suitable for high-value crops and research purposes, performs excellently in cold climates.

Glass Greenhouses

Advantages: Best light transmission, strong durability, suitable for various climate conditions.

Disadvantages: High cost, heavy weight, high requirements for foundation and framework.

Suitable Scenarios: Ideal for long-term use and high-value crops, performs well in areas with insufficient light.

Specific Measures for Pest and Disease Control in Greenhouses

Agricultural Ecological Control: Use disease-resistant varieties, scientific crop rotation, and improved cultivation methods.

Physical Control: Use solar high-temperature disinfection, insect-proof nets to block pests, and color boards to trap pests.

Biological Control: Use natural enemies to control pests, mites to control mites, and fungi to control fungi.

Chemical Control: Use pesticides rationally to avoid environmental pollution and resistance problems caused by excessive use.

In practical applications, plastic film greenhouses are suitable for large-scale planting and economic crops due to their high cost-effectiveness; polycarbonate greenhouses are suitable for high-value crops and research purposes due to their excellent insulation performance; glass greenhouses are suitable for long-term use and high-value crops due to their best light transmission. Growers should choose the appropriate type of greenhouse based on their own needs, economic capacity, and local climate conditions to achieve the best pest and disease control effect.
