Olericulture and How Vegetables Are Grown on a Vertical Farm

Vegetable crops are generally categorized by their edible parts and are often classified by their types. Vegetable crops can be grouped into nine major categories, such as root crops, leafy greens, and annuals. The first step in establishing a vegetable farm involves selecting a location and determining the facilities required. Once a site is chosen, cultivars are selected based on their life cycle, usage, and quality. A vertical-farm allows the grower to sell an enormous part of a plant. This means that the vegetable farmer can eliminate the costs and time involved in conventional agricultural practices, such as watering and fertilizing.

Vegetables are grown in the same way as other fruits and vegetables. But unlike traditional agriculture, these vegetables can be organic, fresh-market-quality, and high-quality. Vegetable crops are grown in a climate-controlled environment that is regulated by the heat unit (HU). A vertical farm is ideal for growing vegetables in these conditions. Using a vertical farm, you can have the freshest produce available at your fingertips.

When it comes to organic, fresh-market vegetables, olericulture is essential. By using heat units to gauge crop maturity, you can determine the best time to harvest them. You can grow your own fresh-market vegetables using row covers, which help increase the temperature in the surrounding environment, preventing insect infestation earlier in the season. Subsurface irrigation is important to produce healthy produce.
