Note: What are light zones?
The intensity of solar radiation in a given region is the main factor determining the types and kinds of greenhouses in a given area, the range of crops grown, and the periods and timing of growing these crops. Solar radiation has a certain intensity, spectral composition, and daily duration, depending on the zone of growing vegetable crops in greenhouses. In Russia, there is mainly a latitudinal distribution of total solar radiation: the amounts decrease from south to north.
Scientists have conducted zoning of the country’s territory by the influx of natural PAR (photosynthetic active radiation). In accordance with the calculated monthly amounts of total PAR in December – January (the most critical months for radiation influx), all regions of the country are divided into 7 light zones.
