Greenhouse Module for Space System: A Lunar Greenhouse Design

Microbial Community for Growing Pioneer Plants in a Lunar Greenhouse

It may be assumed that the first plants in a lunar base will play a main role in forming a protosoil of acceptable fertility needed for purposively growing second generation plants like wheat, rice, tulips, etc. The residues of the first-generation plants could be composted and transformed by microorganisms into a soil-like substrate within a loop of regenerative life support system. The lunar ...

Design of Greenhouse Environmental Parameters Prediction System

This paper designs an environmental parameters prediction system based on web for greenhouse. The system is designed using the MVC framework, and includes monitoring module and prediction module. The system can obtain the main environmental parameters from sensors, such as light, temperature, humidity, CO2 and so on. Based on mass and energy balance principle, the prediction module of the syste...

Expert System for Greenhouse Production Management

Greenhouse is a kind of agricultural building structure with glass or plastic roof, where the vegetables or flowers can grow well year round by controlling the inside climatic environment. Fig. 1 shows commercial multispan greenhouses in China. The closed environment of a greenhouse has its own unique requirements, compared with outdoor production. Pests and diseases, and extremes of heat and h...

design, manufacturing and evaluation of a solar heating system with fresnel concentrator for greenhouse

energy consumption is very high in greenhouses mainly due to off-season production. the main source of its energy supply is fossil fuels. due to the disadvantages of fossil fuels consumption and preventive laws in the incoming years, study on reducing consumption and replacing a part of them with renewable energy is essential. in this research, a solar heating system, equipped with a concentrat...
