plastic green house. The green houses are mainly for commercial
purposes and are for the flowers and vegetables production. The
green houses are built with high tech technology, where in a
computer system is installed to monitor the temperature and
lighting installation. The glass and plastic walls used in the
green house act as preventive walls for the free circulation of
air. The heat energy is trapped inside the green house.

climatic changes. It acts as a shield to protect the plants from
pests, dust and snow. Hence green houses help to grow the crops
perennially in spite of the climatic changes. Fruits such as
tomatoes, tobaccos and flowers are been grown in the green
house. In these days floating green houses have become
common in areas surrounded by water.
