Abstract	Greenhouse is an important application scenario of modern agriculture. With the improvement of people's life quality, the demand for vegetables, fruits, flowers and has also increased, and the amount of greenhouses has developed rapidly. Greenhouse adopts artificial technical means to change natural light and temperature conditions, and to create environmental factors to optimize the growth of animals and plants, so that greenhouse crops can grow throughout the year and the weather. Compared with traditional planting methods, the greenhouse is more automated, intelligent, and mechanized. Greenhouse farming (Protected cultivation) refers to the practice of growing crops in an enclosed or partially enclosed environment, such as greenhouses, shade houses, or high tunnels. The primary purpose of protected cultivation is to create a controlled microclimate that shields the crops from adverse weather conditions, pests, and diseases, while optimizing environmental factors. It involves the use of structures, materials, and technologies that provide a protective barrier and allow for manipulation of temperature, humidity, light, and other environmental variables. The benefits of greenhouses are high production per unit area because the genetic potential of the crop can be completely exploited, vegetables and nurseries can be grown off-season that obtain high market prices, good quality products and it is easy to protect the crops from pests, diseases and extreme climatic conditions. Greenhouse farming is a highly intensive industry that needs considerable labour and capital inputs. Because of this, all factors important for a successful enterprisers should be carefully considered by potential growers.
