1,Thermal insulation and insulation to maintain temperature stability: Greenhouse films can effectively isolate cold air from the outside, reduce heat loss, and thus maintain stable temperature inside the greenhouse. This is crucial for the growth of crops, as stable temperatures help promote plant growth and development. Double layer film effect: Double layer greenhouses are covered with two layers of film, which has better insulation performance than single-layer greenhouses. The coverage of two layers of film can further reduce heat loss, maintain a constant temperature inside the greenhouse, thereby reducing energy consumption and lowering production costs.
2, Adjusting light transmittance: Greenhouse films have good light transmittance, allowing most of the sunlight to pass through and providing sufficient light for the plants inside the greenhouse. This is crucial for photosynthesis in plants, helping to improve crop yield and quality. Improving light intensity: In winter or when there is insufficient sunlight, double layered greenhouses can increase the light intensity inside the greenhouse through reflection and refraction, further promoting plant photosynthesis.
3, Reduce water evaporation and maintain soil moisture: Greenhouse film can reduce soil moisture evaporation, maintain soil moisture, and prevent crop growth or death due to water scarcity. This is particularly important for greenhouses in arid areas or with scarce water resources. Reduce watering frequency: As the coverage of the film reduces water evaporation, watering frequency can be reduced, thereby saving water resources and labor.
4, Preventing soil erosion and improving soil quality: Greenhouse film can prevent rainwater from directly washing away soil, reduce soil erosion and erosion, and protect soil fertility. Improving soil structure: The coverage of thin films can also provide insulation to the soil, improve soil structure, enhance biological activity, promote microbial growth and organic matter decomposition, thereby playing a certain role in regulating soil pH and improving soil quality.
5, Reducing the coverage of greenhouse films for pests and diseases can decrease their occurrence. Due to the relatively enclosed environment formed inside the greenhouse, the invasion and transmission pathways of external pests and diseases are reduced, thereby reducing the incidence of pests and diseases.
6, In summary, greenhouse film coverage plays an important role in maintaining temperature stability, regulating light, reducing water evaporation, preventing soil erosion and improving soil quality, as well as reducing pests and diseases. These effects collectively promote the growth and development of crops, improve crop yield and quality, and thus enhance planting efficiency. Therefore, greenhouse film covering is an essential means in modern greenhouse planting and production methods.
