Greenhouse horticulture refers to the controlled cultivation of vegetables, fruits, flowers, herbs, and nursery crops within protected structures designed to regulate temperature, humidity, irrigation, lighting, ventilation, and crop nutrition. The approach enables year-round production, improved crop quality, higher yields, reduced exposure to pests and adverse weather, and more efficient use of water and land.

The approach enables year-round production, improved crop quality, higher yields, reduced exposure to pests and adverse weather, and more efficient use of water and land. Commercial applications range from large-scale vegetable and fruit production to floriculture, seedling propagation, research farming, and premium specialty crops. Adoption is increasing as producers seek greater production consistency, shorter crop cycles, reduced chemical use, and closer proximity to urban consumption centers.
