Growing in non-heated plastic tunnels brings unique challenges, from fluctuating weather conditions to maintaining consistent crop quality. In this practical course, our experts share strategies to optimize climate, transpiration and plant balance throughout the growing season. This course is also included in the Plant Empowerment Full Membership.

How to cultivate crops in non-heated plastic tunnels
Growing without heating requires a different strategy
Cold mornings, changing weather conditions and limited climate control make growing in non-heated plastic tunnels both challenging and rewarding. Success depends on understanding how the plant responds to its environment and how you can steer crop development with the tools you do have.
In this course, Plant Empowerment specialists explain how to maintain an active crop, reduce disease pressure and achieve consistent quality without relying on a heating system. While the examples focus on plastic tunnels, many of the principles are equally valuable for growers looking to reduce energy use in high-tech greenhouses.
