Üvegház

Üvegház is the Hungarian word for greenhouse. A greenhouse is a structure with walls and roof made chiefly of transparent material, such as glass, in which plants requiring regulated climatic conditions are grown. Greenhouses vary considerably in size, from small portable shelters to industrial-sized buildings. The main purpose of a greenhouse is to create a controlled environment for plant cultivation, protecting them from adverse weather conditions, pests, and diseases.

The transparent materials used allow sunlight to penetrate, providing light for photosynthesis. Simultaneously, they trap heat, creating a warmer internal temperature than the outside environment. This temperature regulation is crucial for growing plants that may not be suited to the local climate or for extending the growing season. Ventilation is also an important aspect of greenhouse management to prevent overheating and to ensure adequate air circulation. Various methods of heating, cooling, and irrigation are employed in modern greenhouses to optimize conditions for specific plant species. Üvegház can be used for a wide range of purposes, including commercial agriculture, horticulture, botanical research, and hobby gardening. They are essential tools for producing crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and flowers year-round, regardless of external temperature or season.
