Greenhouse Production Systems
Substrate Culture Systems
Vertical Container Technique
Vertical container systems produce crops in upright or vertical rows, a method that can significantly increase plant populations. The most common vertical systems include stacked pots and sloped PVC pipes (Figure 15.13). The most widely used vertical system design uses polystyrene pots manufactured specifically for vertical systems that interlock and stack on top of each other. These pots are filled with a soilless medium such as coconut coir, perlite, composted pine bark, or coarse vermiculite.
