The use of plastics in agriculture has tremendously helped in overcoming major challenges by converting unproductive deserts into agricultural lands. Agricultural films are used to enhance productivity of agricultural land with the aid of plastic films. In addition, these films serve several functions including greenhouse, silage, and mulching. LDPE, HDPE, EVA/EBA are some polymers that are used in manufacturing these films.
A greenhouse is a building structure designed for the protection of out-of-season or tender plants against excessive heat and cold. The commercial greenhouse is a glass or plastic-enclosed framed structure that is used for the production of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and any other plants that require special temperature or growth conditions. Glass has been the traditional glazing material used in designing commercial greenhouses, but plastic films, such as polyethylene or polyvinyl, and fiberglass are also common.
