Agro Vision - Fan-and-Pad Based Greenhouse

A fan-and-pad based greenhouse is used to provide a controlled growing environment for growing speciality crops and plants. This greenhouse is provided with special-purpose fans to draw air into the greenhouse through high-efficiency cooling pads made from high surface area ribbons of cellulose fibre. Humidity is controlled by an elaborate system of foggers. Fertigation is implemented by an efficient drip-irrigation system. Typically, exotic plants and crops meant for the export market or as import-substitutes are grown in such greenhouses. The temperature and humidity can be controlled to provide the exact growing environment required for plants that grow in temperate regions.
