Greenhouse for Bell Pepper Growing
Bell pepper is one of the highest-return crops per square meter in a greenhouse when using quality genetics. A protected structure eliminates sunscald risk and allows nighttime temperature management to improve fruit set. In highland areas, a greenhouse is the only way to guarantee extended production cycles of up to 18 months.

Agronomist Tip
Bell pepper is highly sensitive to nighttime temperatures below 59°F, in cooler climates, add a thermal curtain or reinforce side curtain closure at night to retain daytime heat.
