Abstract
The aerial environment within a greenhouse is modified by any change to insulation and these modifications may have adverse effects on crop production and product quality.
In general, increased insulation is associated with increased light loss, humidity and temperature and the probable effects of these changes are discussed in relation to the tomato crop.
The conclusions lead to suggestions for how energy might be used more rationally in greenhouse production in Northern Europe.
