Summary: | Greenhouses were characterized and evaluated
for their functionality in the municipality of Chignahuapan,
Puebla; in a census, 31 producers were interviewed
representing 100 % of greenhouse during the 2011 season.
Initially exploratory trips were made and a questionnaire
was applied to producers and greenhouse owners. From
the information obtained, five classifications of greenhouse
were determined by cluster analysis, one corresponding
to multitúnnel type and the rest are multitúnnel with fixed
roof window, differentiated by their production technology
as padded plastics, hydroponics, heating and irrigation.
According to their classification, significant differences in
tomato yield were found. Similarly, indicators of functionality:
length, width, height, volume and surface square meters
greenhouse window, showed a significant correlation with
performance. From these results we can develop and implement
strategies that lead to better management of greenhouses,
as well as the implementation of new agricultural
techniques to improve yields of crop systems. |
