The team of TVAgro visited the city of Almeria, located in the autonomous region of Andalusia, Spain, where they took a small tour of the field headquarters of Tecnova (Technological Center). There they had the chance to learn about some of its most competitive and innovative projects, about how they are implemented, as well as about their importance for the agro-industry's development, promotion and marketing.
In order for the technology to be at the expected level, there must be a great amount of auxiliary systems allowing the control of variables directly related to crop production. At the very least, such a production system must have an irrigation system, given that it is a closed structure and there is no alternative to meet the crops' water needs. The greenhouse operation will thus rely on the auxiliary systems.
Furthermore, the operation depends, to a great extent, on the type of structure and the type of cover or material. For example, a tunnel type greenhouse with side windows, a shadow mesh, or an open roof greenhouse will be operated differently.
