5.1 Increasing yield

5.1 describe how glasshouses and polythene tunnels can be used to increase the yield of certain crops 


Due to the fact that inside of a greenhouse, its is possible to control factors such as moisture in the air or heat of the air, these factors can be set in order to best suit a particular crop. Because the these factors are varied to the best conditions for the crop it will then result in a much better yield of certain crop.


  • The glass house can provide protection for the crops from the environment 
    • Fertilizing the crop
    • Adjusting the water levels
    • Keeping room at best temperature  
    • adjusting the Carbon Dioxide levels
    • These factors are all adjusted or controlled to maximize yield
