Greenhouse horticulture is also known as protected cropping as it provides a customized growth environment to the plants. Greenhouses can alter environmental parameters, such as light, humidity, temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and protect the crops from adverse weather, pests and diseases. Moreover, the interiors are constructed with various materials, such as glass, hard acrylic plastic, polyvinyl chloride and polycarbonate in order to maintain a slightly warmer temperature inside than the outside. Crops such as pepper, colour capsicum, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, dutch rose, herbs and strawberry are commonly grown in greenhouses.
Furthermore, poly house technology of greenhouse horticulture decreases dependance on rainfall and makes the optimal use of existing land, labor and water resources. Also, it increases production capacity by reducing crop time. In addition, polyhouse technology leads to increase the yield of vegetables, fruits and flowers without compromising with their color and quality. However, the sudden emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic lead in the temporary halt of numerous agricultural activities and thus negatively impacting overall growth in the greenhouse horticulture business. The typical food supply system has been disrupted and altered by COVID-19.
