A hydroponic film greenhouse for cucumber cultivation is a specialized growing environment that combines the benefits of hydroponics and greenhouse technology to provide optimal conditions for cucumber plants to thrive. Here's a breakdown of the key components and considerations for such a system:
- Greenhouse Structure: The greenhouse serves as the physical structure that protects the plants from external environmental factors such as wind, rain, and extreme temperatures. It also allows for controlled environments with adjustable temperature, humidity, and light conditions.
- Film Covering: The greenhouse is covered with a transparent or translucent film that allows sunlight to penetrate while reducing heat loss. The film should be durable, UV-resistant, and have good insulation properties to maintain consistent internal temperatures.
- Hydroponic System: This is the heart of the soilless culture. The hydroponic system provides nutrients and water directly to the plant roots without the use of soil. There are various hydroponic systems, such as:
- Ebb and Flow (Flood and Drain)
- Drip Irrigation
- Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
- Aeroponics
- Deep Water Culture (DWC)
- Nutrient Management: A crucial aspect of hydroponics is the nutrient solution. The nutrient solution should contain all the essential elements for plant growth, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and trace elements. The pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of the solution must be monitored and adjusted regularly.
- Cucumber Specifics: Cucumbers have specific light, temperature, and humidity requirements. They prefer a daytime temperature between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and nighttime temperatures around 60°F (16°C). Humidity levels should be maintained between 70-85% to prevent dehydration and promote healthy growth.
- Support System: Since cucumbers are vining plants, they require a trellis or support system to grow vertically. This not only saves space but also makes it easier to manage the plants and harvest the fruits.
- Lighting: Depending on the location and season, supplemental lighting may be necessary to provide the cucumber plants with sufficient light for photosynthesis. LED grow lights are commonly used for this purpose due to their energy efficiency and ability to provide specific wavelengths of light.
- Ventilation: Proper air circulation is essential to prevent fungal diseases and regulate temperature and humidity. Ventilation systems can include ceiling fans, exhaust fans, and sidewall vents.
- Pest and Disease Management: Without the natural buffer provided by soil, hydroponic systems can be more susceptible to pests and diseases. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies should be implemented to monitor and control any potential issues.
- Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the plants' health, nutrient levels, and environmental conditions is crucial for successful cultivation. This can be done manually or with the help of sensors and automated data logging systems.
By combining the precision of hydroponics with the controlled environment of a film greenhouse, growers can achieve high yields of cucumbers with consistent quality throughout the year.
Compared with the traditional glass greenhouse, it has the following advantages:
1. Low cost: Compared with traditional glass greenhouses, film greenhouses are less expensive to build and operate, making them ideal for small and medium-sized farms and home gardens.
|
2. Flexibility: The installation and disassembly of the film greenhouse is relatively simple, and the position and size can be easily adjusted according to the needs.
|
3. Energy-saving and environmental protection: The film material has good light transmittance, which can effectively utilize natural light and reduce the demand for artificial lighting. At the same time, the thermal insulation of the film helps to reduce energy consumption.
|
4. Strong adaptability: Film greenhouse can be used in different climatic conditions, whether in cold winter or hot summer, it can provide a suitable growth environment for plants.
|
5. Prevent pests and diseases: Film greenhouse can effectively isolate external pests and diseases, reduce the use of pesticides, and help to produce safer and healthier agricultural products.

When selecting and using film greenhouses, planting needs and regional conditions need to be considered comprehensively. Users can choose the covering materials and facilities of multi-span film greenhouse according to their own use to achieve their own purpose of use. Proper matching can greatly improve the performance and service life of the film greenhouse.
n order to achieve efficient and accurate control of plant growth environment, film greenhouse needs to be equipped with a series of facilities and systems. Below are some of the main supporting facilities.
| Ventilation system: |
Internal and external shading system: |
Fan wet curtain cooling system: |
Sprinkler system and drip irrigation and fertilization system: |
Intelligent control system: |
| It includes ventilation windows, vents and related equipment to regulate the temperature and humidity in the room and ensure suitable growing conditions. |
The external shading system is used to reduce the direct sunlight on crops in summer, while the internal shading system can reflect the internal light and reduce the leaf temperature. |
In hot weather, the combination of fan and wet curtain can effectively reduce the temperature inside the greenhouse. |
To ensure the uniform supply of water and nutrients, while saving water and improving the utilization rate of water and fertilizer. |
Realize the automatic management of greenhouse environment, including the monitoring and control of temperature, humidity, illumination and other parameters. |
| Thermal insulation system: |
Heating system: |
Anti-drip system: |
carbon dioxide supply and light supply system: |
Movable seedbed system: |
| Due to the relatively weak thermal insulation of the film, it is necessary to maintain the temperature in the greenhouse by using quilts, films and other materials, especially when planting in the cold season. |
Provides the necessary heating during the cold season to keep the temperature in the greenhouse suitable for plant growth. |
Prevent condensation water from dripping on plants, which may cause diseases or affect photosynthesis. |
To ensure that there is enough CO2 concentration for plant photosynthesis, and to provide additional light source when the light is insufficient. |
Easy to manage and move plants, increase labor efficiency and space utilization. |
These systems cooperate with each other to form a supporting system of a modern film greenhouse. Through efficient management and automatic control, film greenhouse can provide a stable and optimized growth environment for plants, thus greatly improving the efficiency and quality of agricultural production.
