USA Greenhouse for Eggplant Growing
Greenhouse eggplant is one of the highest-returning vegetable crops due to its long cycle and high productivity per plant. Consistent temperatures above 65°F are critical for this tropical species, lower temperatures stop growth and ruin fruit quality. A greenhouse enables year-round production in temperate and cool climates where outdoor cultivation is otherwise impossible.

Consistent warm temperatures
Eggplant stops growing below 59°F, a greenhouse maintains temperatures above the minimum threshold even through winter months.
Up to 12-month production cycles
A well-managed greenhouse eggplant plant can produce for 10-12 consecutive months, fully amortizing the cost of transplanting and plant training.
Thrips and mite management
Insect-proof mesh on vents dramatically reduces entry of western flower thrips and spider mite, the two most destructive pests in eggplant.

Agronomist Tip
Train greenhouse eggplant to 2 main stems from the first month and remove secondary shoots consistently, a well-formed plant produces larger fruit and is significantly easier to manage phytosanitarily through long production cycles.
