Choosing the right film for greenhouses is a crucial step to ensure optimal plant growth conditions. The right material affects temperature, lighting, and humidity inside the greenhouse.

Key selection criteria:

  • Film material: polyethylene, PVC, or reinforced film
  • Transparency: determines the amount of light transmitted
  • Thickness: affects strength and durability
  • UV protection: shields from harmful sunlight
  • Vapor permeability: regulates humidity inside the greenhouse

Recommendations:

  1. Polyethylene film with UV protection, 150-200 microns thick, suits most crops.
  2. Reinforced film is used for added strength and durability.
  3. Choose a film with an optimal balance of light transmission and heat reflection.

Choosing the right greenhouse film ensures favorable plant growth conditions, increases yields, and extends the greenhouse’s lifespan.
