Plants are grown in a controlled but favorable environment in greenhouses, with temperature, light, humidity, and ventilation being the essential components required for crop production. Over the past decade, commercial greenhouse operations have made its presence felt, and is here to stay for a long time ahead, owing to the lack of arable land and unsuitable climate. Commercial greenhouses help in providing a better yield as compared to traditional agricultural methods. Moreover, rise in population and demand for food is also pushing the market for commercial greenhouse towards growth.
