[Objective] The aim was to detect property of light-conversion agricultural films in order to resolve problems existing of greenhouses and in cultivation of out- of-season vegetables. [Method] Light-conversion films and common films were com- pared in terms Of light, air and soil temperatures. [Result] Vegetable greenhouse performed better in transmission of light, which would also improve air and soil tem- perature. [Conclusion] The comprehensive properties of vegetable light-conversion films proved better compared with common greenhouse, which improves light condi- tions for crops.
[Objective] The aim was to introduce preparation methods of biodegradable mulch of starch, and analyze the comprehensive properties, including structure, me- chanical property and degradation. [Method] Environmental factors of biodegradable mulch of starch and common mulch were collected to make analysis and compar- isons on temperature, ground temperature, and illumination intensity with different mulches. Furthermore, the germination rates of broach bean and garlic were mea- sured with mulches covered. [Result] The comprehensive property of biodegradable mulch of starch performed better. [Conclusion] The biodegradable mulch of starch could reduce environmental pollutions and the application would be recommended.
Protected horticulture makes use of related facilities, engineering technolo- gy and management technologies to create or improve local environment in order to provide optimal environment concerning controllable temperature, humidity, and light for farming and breeding industry, as well as product storage. Protected horticulture is independent to some extent, instead of relying greatly on nature, targeting full use of soil, climate and biological potential. The research concluded production characteristics of protected horticulture and analyzed the application of protected hor- ticulture intelligent monitoring system in protected greenhouse cultivation. In addition, the future development was proposed on protected horticulture intelligent monitoring system.
