5.1 - increasing yield

5.1 describe how glasshouses and polythene tunnels can be used to increase the yield of certain crops
In a greenhouse you can control factors such as heat moisture, you can set these factors to best suit a particular crop. This optimization of environmental variables should result in a better yield of a particular crop. 


  • Protect the crops from the environment 
    • Temperature 
    • Water levels
    • Fertilizers 
    • Carbon Dioxide levels
    • all controlled to maximise yield
