Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural tourism integration technology, and in particular to a tomato factory-style planting, viewing, leisure, and picking venue. Background Technology

[0002] Cherry tomatoes grown hydroponically in greenhouses can have a fruiting period of up to 10 months, possessing potential value for sightseeing and fruit picking. However, to date, there are no known cases of cherry tomato picking as a year-round tourist attraction. The main reasons for this situation are as follows: (1) Frequent entry and exit of a large number of tourists caused changes in the air composition in the greenhouse, resulting in temperature and humidity imbalance and destroying the ideal growing environment for cherry tomatoes. (2) Frequent entry and exit of a large number of tourists bring viruses, bacteria and insect eggs into the greenhouse, which can easily induce crop diseases and pests. (3) At present, most cherry tomato greenhouses are built for the purpose of pure production and lack supporting facilities for viewing and picking. They do not meet the conditions for tourists to view and pick. For example, most cherry tomatoes are grown in the Dutch greenhouse elevated planting mode, and the fruit setting position of the plants is too high, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of sightseeing and picking.
