The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of the height of the greenhouse on climatic conditions generated on a mint crop (Mentha spicata). The tests were conducted in the town of Carmen de Viboral, 40 minutes away from the city of Medellin (6º 05’ 09” N and 75º 20’ 19” W, 2150 m.a.s.l.). Three greenhouses with the same dimensions were used, changing only the gutter height in 2 m, 2,5 m and 3 m respectively. Temperature and relative humidity measurements were taken every 30 minutes for 3 years, time during which crop production was assessed. Statistical analyses were performed to determine climatic variations caused by the difference in height between the greenhouses, and to determine differences in production levels. The results indicate that, under the study conditions, the greenhouse height directly affects the weather conditions and the mint crop yields.
El objetivo del estudio es evaluar el efecto que produce la altura del invernadero en las condiciones climáticas generadas sobre un cultivo de menta (Mentha spicata). Los ensayos se realizaron en el municipio del Carmen de Viboral, a 40 minutos de la ciudad de Medellín (6º05’09” N y 75º20’19” W, 2150 m.s.n.m.). Se utilizaron 3 invernaderos de iguales dimensiones, variando solamente su altura de canal de 2 m, 2,5 m y 3 m respectivamente. Se realizaron mediciones de temperatura y humedad relativa cada 30 minutos por 3 años, durante los cuales se evaluó la producción del cultivo. Se realizaron análisis estadísticos para determinar las variaciones climáticas causadas por la diferencia de altura entre los invernaderos, así como para determinar diferencias en los niveles de producción. Los resultados indican que para las condiciones del estudio la altura del invernadero incide directamente en las condiciones climáticas y en los rendimientos del cultivo de menta.
