Polycarbonate Venlo - Type Greenhouse for Celery Growth

Introdution
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. Its key features and advantages include:
- 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 condition.

Support systems
-
Optimized Photosynthesis: Ample light penetration enhances chlorophyll activity, promoting vigorous leaf and stalk growth, which contributes to higher yields.
-
Improved Quality: Uniform light distribution ensures even stalk development—crunchier texture, brighter color, and more consistent taste, reducing the risk of tough or discolored parts.
-
Disease Mitigation: Better light exposure lowers humidity around plants, minimizing fungal infections (e.g., leaf spot) that thrive in damp, shaded environments.
-
Efficient Resource Use: Transparent conditions (e.g., in greenhouses with clear coverings) help regulate temperature and moisture, reducing the need for excessive watering or chemical treatments.
-
Faster Growth Cycle: Adequate light accelerates growth, shortening the time from planting to harvest and increasing cultivation efficiency.
