As greenhouse manufacturers, we are deeply immersed in the captivating world of the mushroom industry.

We find great fascination in the diverse array of mushrooms and the ever-evolving cultivation techniques employed by commercial operations. It is this interest that drives us to explore the growing trend of mushroom facilities embracing the use of greenhouses for their cultivation. 
This blog will explore the reasons for the shift towards mushroom greenhouses. It will also provide valuable insights to help you plan your own mushroom greenhouse.

In our previous post, we discussed the advantages of growing mushrooms in greenhouses.

Greenhouse production has seen a surge in growth over the years, with climate change and the ever-growing demand for produce.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers have been regular staples for some time now, with eggplant added only several years ago. If current trends hold steady, mushrooms and strawberries could soon be major players in this industry like lettuce and greens, for example. 

As GGS Structures continues to explore potential new crops that could be grown in greenhouses, we are actively keeping an eye on the developments in the industry. 

There are several greenhouse pests that can be detrimental to your crops if not controlled through a comprehensive pest management program. Pest control in greenhouses is essential to maintaining the health and strength of your plants.

Reducing pest damage is and should always be a top priority for commercial growers or retail garden center operations.

Measures to Follow for Effective Pest Control

With the arrival of winter, temperatures are a common concern for commercial greenhouse production since it is a threat of frost damage, pests, and humidity.

During the winter months in the United States, especially in December, effective greenhouse temperature control becomes crucial for maintaining optimal conditions for cultivating healthy crops inside greenhouse structures. The challenge lies in ensuring that the temperature within the greenhouse remains conducive to plant growth despite the colder external environment.

Professional greenhouses are an excellent resource for those interested in entering the commercial farming industry. However, only some understand how they work precisely.

Learning how to build a greenhouse before embarking on a commercial project can be a rewarding experience for you and your company.

Greenhouses are a great way to extend your growing season and protect delicate plants from the elements. 

But it can be difficult to keep a greenhouse cool when temperatures rise. High temperatures inside a greenhouse can damage plants, slow their growth and reduce yields.
