ABSTRACT:
A method and structure for environmental control of plant growth in greenhouse conditions. The structure comprises a translucent stressed fabric shell on a base, the shell and base enclosing a predetermined space within which to grow horticultural plants, the shell and base sealing the environment within the space against external environmental air conditions. Temperature, humidity carbon dioxide are monitored and controlled within the space by a microprocessor programmed to provide optimum temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide conditions within the space. The structure and method are ideally suited to nutrient film techniques, wherein nutrient being fed to the plant roots is monitored and controlled by the microprocessor.
